Does the "S&S Cycle Quickee Pushrod and Cover Kit 106-6051" fits a twin cam 103 (Street bob 2016)? Thanks in advance

Jeff, I know I am really late to the party. I am interested in installing some performance cams in my 04 Fatboy and I really found this video to be thought provoking. Good Job! I have a question though. After cyl #2 is at TDC, and the pushrod is adjusted, you wait for the hydraulic lifters to bleed down before rotating the engine to find TDC of cyl #1. The reason for waiting on the lifter bleed down is due to the valve to piston clearance of cyl #2. What happens to the valve to piston clearance at engine startup when the lifters pump up to full pressure? I am not a mechanic but someone who is interested in doing some modifications to my bike before I leave this earth.

My bike vibrates everywhere so I use lock tight and check and tighten everything down… Also make sure tires are inflated properly before you leave…

If you’re going to tighten the shifter linkage, you need to also check the connection at the transmission! That pivot is an expensive fix on the road, the outer and inner primary has to come off.

Thank you CrackerJack for the great advice! I would like to make a couple of recommendations. First is anytime you see some rust behind a bolt, please loosen it a bit and add a few drops of oil behind the fastener head/washer, then tighten it back down. Second is when you are inspecting the battery connections and you see an accessory plug that is not being used, please put some electrical tape over it to prevent water intrusion.

I’m fighting my Feuling APR. I can’t seem to get them right. I put on a cam plate, oil pump, cams, and APR. it’s been days since I got back to the bike, it wouldn’t stay running after initial install, I’ve checked cam timing, all sprockets and marks are good. Tensioners are brand new. Do I need to wait for roller bleed down if it installed them days ago? Do I need to start from scratch again with pumped up rollers? I’m not looking at the instructions atm, but I think they’re 20tpi 7/16x20. I really need some help. I checked the top of the pistons for any witness marks from initial install to make sure nothing was damaged. I have not done compression test or cylinder leak down. 2010 FLHX Stock 96” minus the above mentioned upgrades.

This is coolest grown up i have ever seen

Wow! Even a Harley hating DOUCHE BAG in these comments!

I got exactly same sound on 2006 C50 with 56k miles. Maybe not as bad yet th-cam.com/video/F8WR733pkBY/w-d-xo.htmlsi=7M1z1T_WsgYgxjSC Sad but thanks for the video.

Thx

Thanks for this. I’m working on a hardtail project and was totally lost on the lines. This made it so much easier

Cool video quick to the point good tips (basics for any Harley owner) but dude that air filter is filthy clean and oil that bad boy!

Early 60’s--Friday night-four of us heading to wasaga-one guy looses all 4 motor bolts--other three take out one bolt each--continue ride with three motor bolts in each bike,-carry on like it was just another day in the life of a Harley rider--I’m 82 and the only one left of that bunch,-got a softail now and still get out for a putt once in a while,-i just like to make shure my nuts are tight--ktssu--p--

You have been so good about answering questions. Can you comment on the on the chia head of fine steel that collects on our primary case magnets. They appear to be all of identical shape and length like they were manufactured. Like hair, cut a16th of an inch long. The dealer when shown the "chia head" magnet say "ya that's normal. The stock clutch plates wouldn'd be the source of the metal shavings would they? In a previous comment I mentioned that the clutch plates I took out looked good but the outer circumference did show slight wear leaving me to question whether that could be the source of the steel hair. Thanks

shit this just happened to me today! fuk! thanx first vid that was actually informative

Excellent video !! Great explanation and video view ! Especially the verification of amount of preload and adjustment !ty

That answered a lot of my questions. Thanks bud

Merci. 👍.

Wish you were closer . I could watch you change mine...

What about the one on the left side touchdown inside the hole how can you fix that thread hole

Brilliantly explained and demonstrated. Thank you for taking the time to put this together.

Thanks

How long is a piece of string? It's sort of like a drive belt. It depends on how much it has been stretched.

Thank you! Much appreciated

How do you know if your out 180 degrees ?

Yes thank you it was just stuck on the 2 towels. Do you remember the lifter bores the oils holes were on the outside and the lifter oil holes were lined up on them facing outward right? unlike the regular Harley book says face oil holes on lifers all face inward? Again thanks

Lifters are held up with clips and pulled up. I think even if they were not held up the cam plate would still come out. I think it held on to the dowles. I laughed I thought I would just cut the rods like you lol

Cant get my can plate to pull out. What would be stuck/jammed ? Motor never been ran. Thank you

I have the same motor did just what you did. My motor has never been run. I can get the cam plate to pull out any Ideas. It did look like you had to pull a bit I can't get mine to pull out any help would be great thank you

good stuff!!!

maybe the best performance book out there the only problem is most people don't know how to read anymore

I have motorcycles in my blood. I really enjoyed your Video. Thank you so much. John M.

You should do a video on customers who watched TH-cam university to tell you how to fix their bike, boat, Jetski, car, or whatever! Those are the best! lol!

A piece of string is as long as a piece of string is 😅 1:19

Good morning 🌅, I am in the process of changing my belt , the previous owner had had the belt too tight, it’s only just done over 48,000 miles, The bike has not been serviced properly, And I’ve got to change both pulleys as well, France.

I thought this why we have different levels of lock tight?

Shouldn't you let the first pushrod bleed down completely before you adjust the second pushrod (inlet and exhaust valve on the same cylinder) because you can get valve kiss (the two valves touch each other) and end up with a bent valve.

Best video on TH-cam explaining every detail excellent job but boy it would make life easier if they just put numbers on there and markings from the manufacturer

thanks for the look into the trade. I am working on becoming an instructor which is mostly weekend stuff. If i find a shop that will have me, I'd love to start building up that skillset during the week. I'm going to start pokin around. Thankfully instructors are paid pretty decently so I can work for pennies if i've got to to get my start.

I miss something? Step spacer goes on inside? Now you have moved bearing away from race by the step. No longer do bearing and race align or do my machine skills not apply? The more you put between bearing and race you take away from bearing race matching. Step should be on outside so bearing and race maintain integrity

What is your email address?

They just should put numbers on them and make it easier for install

Great video and detail, I'm about to change my Twin Cam chain tensioners and have gone down the S&S Quickee route for the pushrods. Can I ask if I'm right in that you cut the pushrods when they're at cam base circle and install the new ones on the overlap?

Another good place to check is the shifter at the trans . That cinch bolt likes to get loose on the splines.

Thanks for sharing!!

Excellent video

I needed this even thought mines a 2007 the lower line on mine leaking n idk if i needed ro remove the caseing cover to get to it

Do you need to adjust the carb with the new exhaust? The newer sportsrers you have to re tune.

I will have to check for sound, but my 08 c50t has a significant vibration that goes way when i pull in the clutch, ive been searching the cause any ideas?

I'm actually looking at MMI now. Youre right Orlando and Phoenix. I'm looking at the Phoenix location. However, Im not sure if i want to make it a career. I'm getting my M class license soon, as well as my first bike.
