New 2 me 2003 Electra Glide Standard

Yes it does. On my 04 the inner tensioner shoe was well worn at 19K. They said it could go a while longer but wouldn't make it to 30k. Typically they seem to fail anywhere from 20-40k. When they do it can be catastrophic to the engine.
Mine was changed with HD's upgrade kit to hydraulic tensioners. Had it done in the off season here when the dealer discounts their price and the mechanics aren't rushed.

I have a sporty and am familiar with the quad cam design, but have never owned a twin cam before. Is there anyway I can take a peek and see if mine have been replaced?
I honestly have no idea if the previous owner did the work, but if I had to venture a guess, he might have. The bike is in near mint condition.
We are still in chaos here on the eastern sea board and I have been itching to ride! I might decide that I want to look for some wind deflectors for my legs. Are there any good ones out there that don't cost an arm and a leg?
Also, can anyone recommend a good source for a factory HD manual for this bike? Clymer is pretty good, but I would prefer the HD manual as I plan on owning this bike for a long time and am sure I will have to freshen the top end at least once.
Sorry for all the jumping around, but we are still in chaos here on the east coast and I am not sure when I will be able to get on the forum again.
