Welcome

 

The options are just replace the pads, they do have better brands now. Cyro, not sure if spelling right is popular here. Convert to the new style of hydraullic style, or measure your run out and go gear drive cams. You have timken bearing so good chance you could go gear.


Myself, I would think about boring to 95", save money on quick release pushrods and take top off. If you go hydraullic or gear you will need new cams. Nothing else some new cams might give you a little pep too.


If the bike is running good, I would not replace cam plate unless doing conversion, I am not sure if needed for that. I would also keep the oil pump.


Cheapest option is quick release pushrods, cut out old pushrods, and replace pads. I'd consider replacing lifters when open too plus cam bearings.

Pads do not need to be checked every 20k.Maybe 40-50k is good target.

You do not include alphabet. I believe the ultra was fuel injected that year, so you would need a tuner or flash a map in there if you change cams.

 

Welcome to the H-D Forums from Idaho , Great to have you here ! ENJOY !

 

Welcome to the forum from sunny SoCal.

 

Cheapest way if you're doing it yourself is Cyco pads. Change inner cam bearings to upgraded style. Re-use other parts if they check out OK. If you can beg/borrow/steal the unique tools needed for the job, you can do it cheap.

Unique tools: cam press tools and press, inner cam bearing puller/installer, cam sprocket locking tool, outer tensioner holding tool, oil pump align pins, fixture to make it easier to remove/install pins from shoes

Felllows, this happens all to often. A prospective new member starts a thread in the Welcome Area by asking a technical/mechanical question instead of posting in the apprpopriate section and, in an effort to help out, members start replying to the post with comments, suggestions etc. and the prospective new members's thread begins a life in the wrong place missing out on the comments and suggestions that would have come from posting in the appropriate section.

I hope to enlist the support of the members that see this, let the new guy know the Welcome Area is for introductions, not questions and direct the new guy to the appropriate section for his/her question.

 

I get what you are saying, if they put it in the right forum maybe the right people would see it that can help. But I also wonder if chastising them makes them want to stay.

Maybe a link to the tech section so they find it. I also think not every one is as forum savy.


In general I think welcome section is waste of time, bunch of hellos, and generic posts assuming they bought their bike 10 minutes ago.
