2014 CVO Breakout Lifter Question
I was just given a 2014 CVO Breakout by my brother in law. Believe it or not only has 500 miles on it. Took it to the dealer for annual inspection. Guy inspecting it said a lot of 110 engines have lifters fail and recommended I should replace them. My question is
1.With so few miles on the bike is this something I should be worried about now?
2. Will the lifters the HD dealer puts on be an upgraded product?
Appreciate any feedback

Yes the 110 lifters are prone to failure. Earliest failure I know of was a friends at year old and 19,000 miles. I have had lifter failure twice on the CVO 110 motor. My 09 CVO road glide they failed at 47K miles, 2 and a half year old bike. My 15 CVO road glide ultra, they failed at 44K miles day before bike was 2 years old, HD replaced the engine.
I would say you will need to pay attention to them as you near 20K miles.

One of the first things I did after acquiring my new-to-me ‘16 RGU with the SE 110” kit was swap out the lifters for Hylift-Johnson from WFO Larry. Had 16,000 miles on the bike, approximately 6000 on the kit.

I would be more worried about a fresh set of tires, right now.
Get a new battery, tires, all oils, and some fresh gas. Ride the **** out of it for a minute, and then do some cams and lifters that will put a huge smile on your face.
Congrats on the super cool gift!

flhtcuse7 -2012 is ill .
what was supposed to be a simple and not too expensive job, lifters / adjustable pushrods has run out a bit. Received a call from my mechanic that the cams are worn, the camplate shows grooves and the oil pump may also be renewed. So S&S camplate / oil pump and star racing torkstar 577 cams on top of the lifters / pushrods .... pppfffAll this by riding too long with the same oil and too little oil it seems , I bought the bike 3000 km ago after I was assured that the maintenance was done at the time of purchase , all that was done was a new air filter
