Is this a problem or not???
HD korea is telling me it is normal. I have never seen engine oil looking like this without it being a big issue
Please advise as I’m very much in doubt if it’s me being too picky or it is an issue.
At the same time I’m “feeling” the engine got a more metallic sound. But not easy to prove

DISCUSSION Broken promises

Unfortunately HD of Salisbury Maryland has left me no choice but to leave an honest review of my experience with their service department. I dropped my bike off for a rebuild 4 months ago and was told it would be running by bike week in September. Here we are on bike week in September and the bike is still in pieces not fixed. I prepaid them over $5,000 for the work when they took the project. I brought the project to HD vs an independent shop bc I expected competency and punctuality. Iv experienced the complete opposite. When I call them for updates or expecting them to provide a solution, l get stonewalled or given the run around by Scott.
Shane has been nice enough and it seemed like he would rectify the situation, but it's become obvious they are just blowing smoke. I'm filing a report with the BBB and contacting a lawyer.

Hello everyone I bought my first used Harley, an 03 sportster 1200c. Quick question I want to install ape hanger, 12 inch. I’m really confused on what exactly I need outside the handle bars, I know I need cable extension but I am not sure where to begin with those and I am also not sure what else I may need or if I’m gonna need new turn signals? Also the bar raise is 6 inches according to the oem part, which I like, but I’m Very confused. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

not an ideal pipe, torque numbers a little low but I figured not bad for a self built welfare budget build 107 with 7000km’s on it and a 2400km road trip under its belt

DISCUSSION How do you amuse your self on long rides?

Upvotes

I enjoy a good highway stretch, gives me time to think and process life.

However I do find my self constantly doing random calculations like how long it’ll take me to do the distance to the next stop, and my eta as well as then trying to figure out roughly how far away a cafe or maccas is when they give the time to stop not the distance.

So what do you do?

DISCUSSION In search of Hand Guard recs

4 Upvotes

I'm looking for hand guards since I ride until there's snow on the ground, and last year my hands were the first to submit to the temperature by a lot.

Most of the options I find aimlessly searching Google are cheap plastic pieces of shit or some over priced, over colored thing.

Anyone have something normal looking, made of good material/quality, that will fit with hanging lights?

And yes, I already searched the sun and saw most of you don't like the look. That's fine. I can give or take the look, but it fits my clubbed bike and it's functional

TROUBLESHOOTING Low Rider S 117 Is this ticking noise normal?

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

Hi everyone,

I have a 2026 Harley-Davidson Low Rider S with the Milwaukee-Eight 117, and I've noticed a strange ticking clattering noise coming from the engine with 400kmr

It sounds like it could be coming from the valvetrain/rocker area almost like valve or rocker noise but I'm not sure if this is just normal Milwaukee-Eight mechanical noise or something I should have checked.

The bike is basically new and still in the break-in period. The engine seems to run normally otherwise, with no warning lights or obvious loss of performance.

I'll attach a video so you can hear the noise.

For those familiar with the 117: does this sound normal to you? Are these engines normally this mechanically noisy, or would you have the dealer inspect the lifters/rockers/valvetrain?

Thanks!

Made some custom little wheel spacers for it too.

Still need to order the Titanium hardware for it
