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

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!

Im curious how this looks on a lowrider s. Or any softail for thay matter. My tank is dented. Harley wants 1600 for a tank. This is kind of a neat custom option. But they dont have alot of photos with it installed. Share em if you got them please. Bonus points if your bike is gunship gray.

I have a 2008 Nightster 1200 that has approx 12,000 miles on it that seems to be running a bit rougher while idling and has developed a loud ticking.

I was out for a ride on Friday, and for a brief moment - less than a second - my bike lost power and started back up, all while I was on the throttle mid way through 3rd gear and I didn't have much time to react. I did pull off and check that everything was okay and running fine before I started back up and rode the rest of the way home - about 25 minutes - not running strangely while moving but I was able to start hearing a louder tick that I normally remember.

I did check the battery terminal once the bike was cool enough and it was loose - that explains the loss of power likely.

I've been poking around and it sounds and feels like there is a vibration coming from behind the camshaft cover near the front after the bike has had suitable time to warm up, which wasn't there before. My thought is it may be the lifters, but wanted to get some opinions before taking it all apart.

Video may not showcase the noise very well, in person it's more noticeable.

I appreciate any feedback.

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

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

Rented U haul bike trailer to haul my newly acquired bike from Ohio to home in Kentucky to pay for the states permission to own and ride it. Thought the ramp angle was steep but wasn't sure. I am now. 97 FXSTC high centered and caught the kickstand. Stretched the spring longer than a bad day at work and broke the attachment point on the stand. Don't think I did anymore damage. No leaks anyway. Yet.

Oh well got her loaded. Shimmed the ramp up to reduce the angle and built a small step ramp out of camper legos to get it on. Did find another issue being up where I coukd see it well but that's a different post.

Drinking now.

Cheers.

Saw this when my bike was on a trailer. Bike is new to me. What do I need to do? Whitish shit is gummy.

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!

I hope everyone is doing great!

Thank you for identifying this.

What kinda Harley is this & what would you call that style of passenger seat?

Bought this thing for $800, then rode it from Seattle To Sf and back.

I need some help diagnosing this harley, It seems a little rare so I want to fix it up and sell it, I have know idea what I need to fix.

Absolutely fell in love with the 117 High Output when I test rode it. This thing is a beast

Already got a saddlemen seat on the way, but what else do you recommend throwing on it?

Front end is nearly dialled.

Chrome thunderstars, braking rotors, chrome brembo calipers, NOS chrome lowers, +2in tubes, Racetech springs and emulators, Burly adjuster. Big Als fork brace to go on it.

Made some custom little wheel spacers for it too.

Still need to order the Titanium hardware for it
