Considering Street Glide w/103"
Currently in the market for a bagger and have narrowed it down to a 2012 or 2013 Street Glide with a 103".
I've been reading a few posts on this valve train noise issue on the 103's.
Can anyone summarize the problem, the fix, and which year 103's are affected?

Also, different bouncers could help with the noise. Cross thread points??????

I bought a 2013 SG 2.5 years ago. I specifically avoided 2014+ because I don't want CANBUS wiring. That's just me.
Anyway, I really love my bike. I've put 25k on her with no issue. I did install a baker manual chain adjuster in the primary around 8k.
I've only noticed top end noise when it's really hot on a long trip. I plan on installing rock-outs next year which should fix this.

Interesting point on that CAN bus wiring. I would imagine if your software isn't written well it could be a troubleshooting nightmare when trying to isolate an electrical issue. I wonder just how much wire HD saved by going that route..?
