I bought my 2005 Ultra Classic in Feb of 2012. It had 17k on the speedo at the time. Now at 86k I'm starting to hear the ticking of the poorly designed cam chain tensioners. Over the last couple days, I've also heard a whine coming from the engine. Since Sandy wasn't nearby when I heard the noise, I'm guessing the cam bearings are going also.
So over the weekend I plan to tear into the cam chest and replace inner cam bearings along with the 2 cam chain tensioners. While on the jack, I'll replace the rear tire and worn rear brake pads. Hopefully all my parts will be delivered as promised.
I'll be documenting with pics and video, so stay tuned if you want to see a Harley stripped down to the bare bones.

Ha! I'mmmm tellllllling Sannnnnnndyyyyyyyyy
I'm pretty sure she knows that she's a whiner.
You should not ride so much. Riding that much will KILL a moorsickle!
I can quit anytime you know.
Not much progress, but it is progress.

From what I have seen so far, engine is the LEAST of your problems.
When was the last time that bike saw soap?
I dare not ask about wax? :-\
Can't wash em while you're riding.

I think some of that thick layer buildup of bug juice got into your engine via osmosis, I heard it is VERY corrosive

Not as corrosive as other stuff.
Going back together.
Out with the old, in with the new.

Nice detail!
another 200,000 miles or 2 years?
Well done Johnny
Good write up.
Looks like you got to those tensioners just in time, Johnny! Great coverage of your restoration! I look forward to many more (hundreds of thousands of) miles with you now that your bike is refreshed! 8)
It's a Robinson Harley. Those tensioners would have lasted another 50,000 miles 8)
Polished?! on the bike??!! It will never run right ever again Johnny 😜
Got everything buttoned up last Sunday. (pics still in camera, camera still in shop) Fired it up and putted around the yard. No clicking, no whining. Rode up the drive and looked for any oil leaks. Everything good. Get my helmet and head back down to the road. I head north on 65 and feeling pretty good. Back on the bike and the engine is purring along.
About 2 miles the oil light comes on. A quick check of the gauge and it's showing 40lbs of pressure. No lifter noise. I've got to have pressure, but why is the light on? I make a u-turn and head back to the house. Sandy has supper ready, so I'll park it for the day.
While eating, I'm searching the web. No luck on finding showing oil pressure on gauge and oil light on. I walk down to shop and retrieve my FSM. I search through the wiring diagrams and only see one sending unit, but two wires come off the unit. One goes to the light and the other to the gauge.
I remember a couple wires under the frame near the bolt for the floorboards. I thought I had moved the wires enough to clear the bolt. Last night I looked closer and found the wire pinched under the washer on the bolt. I removed the bolt, pulled the wire out of the loom, and repaired the wire.
Fire it up, the oil light goes off and the gauge is reading 40 lbs of pressure. Life is good. Rode to work today and will be heading to Leeds on Saturday. :bike-038:

Nothing scarier than an oil light.
Good to hear there will be at least one BIG machine there Saturday........when others show up saying it can't be done :)
