Having my lifters replaced
Put the bike in the shop for the winter. Having them put S&S lifters and pushrods in [2012 CVO Street Glide 110] has 11k on it, bought it with 1900 on it this past May
I asked them to call me if they detect any other wear while doing the work. Would you guys have replaced anything else? Suggestions welcomed

I'll call the dealership this week and see what they suggest, I usually ride 12-14k a year so tires will be done at some point soon

Even if it was on a tender You will want to keep an eye on the battery. If you notice any sign of weak turn over bring it back to full charge if it goes it again replace it. Weak battery will cause other costly issues. 11 years old 1,900 miles it sat most of it's life . There may be some fuel issues show up. Small amounts of injector clean over time will slowly break the build up down. Don't go adding a lot all at once. If it were mine I would drain the tank.

Owner changed the battery 3 times since new[last in 2019]--changed all fluids[3 hole] every winter----back story, he owned 5 bikes , had a 2010 street glide cvo he had 9200 miles on and a RKC he rode most of the time, in his garage,I never saw the other 2 bikes when I went to his house to purchase. He had multiple toys[all top dollar] and owned 3 homes[1 on Lake Winnipasaukee ] but couldn't ride anymore due to having a neck operation, his bad luck was my good luck--I put nearly 9k on it this year from June until end of Oct[also put 3k on my RKC] and 500 on my 97 heritage springer, my only concern was if I needed to do more than lifters and pushrods on the 110 motor----tires were a concern but fuel issues and fluid changes were no concern after getting all paperwork from owner

I will definitely call them this week---they said the bike should be done before Dec 31st--they have treated me well in the past so I'll take their word if there is any additional problems
