..... from the MoCo's standpoint that's a feature, not a bug

The other question I have is: one lifter/pushrod/rocker arm actuates two valves each. When the valve seats recede (especially the exhaust valves) how are valve clearances going to be uniform given that valve seats can recede at different rates?[/QUOTE]
Actually, one lifter/pushrod actuates two rocker arms/valves. One of the two rockers will have an adjustment screw to sync actuation of the valves. It can be adjusted from time to time if needed. Similar to the Yamaha 102 V-Twin design.
Well now that I've seen the rocker arms in the cycleworld pics, there is no adjustment screw. Given that when I went to adjust this screw on my previous Roadstar, and it never required adjustment, maybe none is required.

And for all the complication and Rube Goldberg engineering still falls far too short on performance compared to.........everything else.

So valve lash clearance does need to be checked. Right?
I get it that HD says no but I can see the burnt exhaust valve seat cases coming.

Per the Cycleworld article:
"Small details are important. In the past, if the oil was overfilled, excess oil could wet the air filter via the breather. This has now been rerouted through the transmission case."
YESSSSSS!!!
