That's as far as I got tonight. Don't think I'll have time to work on the bike tomorrow, what with all the turkey eating and stuff that needs to be done. 
I'll post up the rest of the project after I get it all done. Happy Thanksgiving everybody!

Great stuff. I always appreciate reading/see pics from regular folks doing the work. The videos always show some pro doing it and every bolt turns easily, nothing spills, and nothing gets ****ed up. lol

It's something I want to do this winter if I can gather the parts for the right price. I have an 05 Ultra and love the ride but I think some kick would be nice to have. I'll have to look for a site that shows what items help in what area, ie: speed vs torque, or anything I'm not thinking of...

Why bother holding the lifters up at all, toss them out! I hope you don't intend on using them on a new cam? Not worth the risk. Yes, I know that rollers are not like flat tappets, but I wouldn't want to dig back in to replace them later if there was an issue. Easy insurance.
