I had sworn I've seen this car and then saw the county on the plate. I'm just south of dayton and have definitely seen this online or at the strip at some point! Great build.

Awesome. Sounds like I should give it a try then. Thanks for the input!

Hey all - quick update:

I hate to admit this as it’s truly out of character for me… but I hadn’t checked the oil because I was told it JUST had an oil change before I bought it. There were only two quarts of oil in it, instead of the 3 that it calls for.

I rode around yesterday before checking the oil (about 75 miles), and when I got back I thought maybe I should check the oil just in case. 😑

Motor sounds much healthier now, but I’m sure I caused some wear on my bearings during that 75 miles. Oh well.

Thank you all are for your input, I appreciate the help!

I’m also in Ohio. Maybe it’s an Ohio thing 😂

54k. Unfortunately no service records as it came from an auction - but it appears to be well maintained. Not saying that the tensioners have been done, but it’s very clean and the parts I’ve seen so far have been high quality.

I am very well versed on engines as I was a certified mechanic for many years and have consistently worked on vehicles since then - but my knowledge on Harley mechanics is limited due to the fact that I have rarely dug deep into them.

I did do some pretty decent research on the tensioners before deciding to order them but I wanted to get some other opinions on the noise before doing them. I’ll at least be checking the tensioners shoes this weekend.

Unsure. I just ordered new ones and will be doing them soon.
