Thank you! With this pandemic situation having me off work for a few weeks, it finally gave me the time to tear into it. This '08 Ultra has about 165,000 kms on it and has never been touched - not in any serious way that is. I ride it pretty hard (old motocross guy) and it needed some freshening up.

This photo was taken 3 weeks ago.

Cheers!

Well, if he wasn't then the "Pfft" statement really wouldn't have the same effect ... now would it

I don't believe anyone is doubting that, I think we are all just F'n with one another at this point. Props to the OP for the amount of work done, though he certainly would have accomplished A LOT more had he had THE proper manual.....(There is not a big enough wink icon available to match my level of sarcasm here)

Tour packs RARELY need bearings before 200,000 km

Drill the center hole in the valve to 7/64" Use either 1.0kg/mm or 1.1 kg/mm springs with 35mm preload and 5 wt oil, 160mm from the top.
