FWIW; I just finished installing the "Rockout" kit in my rocker arm support plate.

Guys, if you hear that stupid ticking sound from your rocker assembly, this is the cure. Fifteen bux and a few hours work is all it takes to end the racket.

The noise is harmless but its nasty and easy to fix. I highly recommend this simple mod.

My pleasure John. When something this simple works so well, its just good community practice to spread the word.

I adhered to your procedures BTW. Having done so, I can see the wisdom in not cutting corners with the installation. Its an easy install anyway, and its worth it to have the confidence that everything is exactly as it should be when you hit that starter switch .

Not much from what I've seen. Brake and clutch levers are different on '15. I heard the '15 brake calipers changed but not sure. And colors.

I think the brake master cylinders were changed because the '14 master cylinders were problematic.I knowmine was replaced under warranty, when myHD dealership noted a problem with it before i even did. I was toldit was a common problem.

Default Longer Brake line

Please forgive me if this was already posted, I could not find it. But I put 1-1/2" risers on my bars and now my front brake line is a little tight and want to install an longer line. How are you guys doing this? Are you buying a longer stock line that ties into the block under the horn? Or removing all that clutter and running straight to the calipers?

I put the 1 1/2 spacers on mine. My brake line is tight when full left turn but not enough for it to snap or break. Only thing I did was unhook it from the frame.
