RK upgrades
Default '06 RK upgrades
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I'm right at 30,000 miles on a bone stock 88" motor in my '06 RK which still runs great.At a little over 24,000 miles did some road tripping for a total of about 4000 miles in 3 weeks which for the most part were hiway 60-80 mph.Seems since theres a lot of top end "klacking",especially at cold start up and even after well warmed during upper/relaxed load RPM's.I realize the sewing machine sound,but this can of marbles has got me thinking about going into the cam chest as well as removing the rockers.I checked the tensioners at 20,000 and they looked ok,and I realize they are due to be looked at again.
I'm leaning heavily on the SE 25282-11 tensioner upgrade kit. http://www.shoputahharley.com/product-p/25282-11.htm
Looking under the fitment,it doesn't mention '06 touring.Only '07-up softail and touring models.This still what I want?
Included in my plan is pull the rocker boxes and inspect the shafts,all the while being able to reuse stock pushrods.Next I want to replace the lifters.Comp Cams,S&S,SE,or what others are good?Cam change might be in order if funds allow (21N or 26N?).Would really like some input and/or advice on my plan of attack.
