I took on this project this morning after work. I removed the tour pack, seat, and gas tank, Then I pulled the front rocker cover off, pulled the plugs and then the rocker assembly. I order the kit and the cometic gaskets from amazon and all the pieces I needed were there. I did drill my oil drain holes to 7/64( my 1/8 was missing out of my index...grrrr).I had the front done and reassembled in less than an hour, took about an hour to perform the task on the back cylinder and reassemble. i thought about doing it the easy way but wanted to drill out the oil holes and look at the umbrella valves. 19000 miles on a 2103 road king classic....
The ticking was gone but now I hear the whirring of the primary chain, lol. I can also here the fuel pump running....
Easy, cheap task and fun to do. I took some pictures and made a little video and a film strip o my facebook page

I was going to start this project today, but the wife talked me out of it.. I dont have a garage, just a small shed where I park my baby. She advised that I should wait till my friend has his lift put in his shop and just in case this turn into more than a days job I dont lose any time riding.
I guess she doesnt have much faith in me working on my own bike... Wondering if this is a "battle" that isnt worth fighting at this time

I'm a classic hobby do-it-yourselfer, with almost no direct experience to draw on and I found this project quite straight forward. What took others 2 hours, took me more like 4, owing to being paranoid
, and I dare say 4 hours is the absolute maximum time this could possibly take you start to finish. A rainy afternoon in a clean dry place with tools is all you need. If dust is a concern, use Q-tips to swab oil from bolt holes instead of compressed air. You will need a jack to get your rear wheel off the ground.

Just had mine installed. Was going to do it myself but bike was going in to my local indy for some service work anyway so had him do the install.
All I can say is...Wow! What a difference! These work as described. That most annoying noise is gone. Thank you John for your persistence in figuring this out. Best $15 spent.
My indy was also quite impressed with the kit & ease of installing.
