Im thinking about buying my first Harley, i think ive narrowed it down to the road glide. (sweet ride)
can anyone tell me if they have hydraulic lifters?
i think i read they do in '06 , but do they go back as far as 2000 models?
Yes they do. Hydraulic lifters have been stock since some time in the 50's..... '53 I think.
Did you mean hydraulic cam chain tensioners? They came out in the '06 Dyna series and are now on all '07's as well. They do not have hydraulic tensions prior to '06 and not in the '06 Road Glide.
