well my Dad and I finally got some time to break down his bike. He wanted to check out his cam chain tensioners. He has an 01 Standard with 53k on it. I know what your thinking....holy smokes...53k and he hasn't checked the tensioners?!?! Well, they were fine.
Not too shabby.
The rest of the pics are just progress pics.
Isn't this why they call it a twin cam?
Well since we are in there, he's going with Andrew Cams (I forgot which cam) and gear drive. I've put it in his head to get a new oil pump also. Since we are there.
As for my bike, after his is all wrapped up, I might do the same.(cams and gear drive) But for now it's just Milwaukee Bagger bags and Bad Dad fender. I'm waiting on some lights to show up. When they come I will be mocking everything up perfectly and then they are off to paint. Pics...
Just thought I would share!
