doesnt look very worn to me. Harleys are just junk unreliable

Can't beat Welly on a good day! Used to be the challenge was to do the Ton up Ngauranga Gorge, back in the late 70's/early 80's. Bit diabolical with the off camber it had... I 'may' have done Queen St to Johnsonville overpass in 6h22 on my GPz900r one time, but that wasn't trying as hard as I could, and today's bikes could probably take another hour, or more, off that as well...

Hi Bob So did you put all female pins so they would stay on the bike? And then order up some dummy plugs to seal em up? Got all the stuff to do this myself. On my 08 Ultra.

great job mate!

I always used a old rag folded up on the comoensator and clutch to lock it in place

Thanks for your video! Stay safe! I'm looking for a screen for my 2023 Speedtwin and one of these just might be the ticket. Cheers!

That sound is the sound of pushing the starter button for one half a second.

I can see your purpose of getting a lighter and smaller bike versus the CVO. I'm a chrome nut when it comes to Harley which is why I ended up with my '16 CVO like the one you had and believe it or not I've added even more chrome. You're making it yours, which is what it is all about!

Oh no 😳 new bike looks nice. . . You won't miss the weight 🦛

I have an identical '16 CVO Limited and you had me gritting my teeth when it fell over. It definitely is a heavy bike! I ended up taking off the tour pack to eliminate a bit of the top heaviness. Good luck with the new bike!

First like mi❤

Back in November 2018, I opted for a brand new Ultra Limited with the new 107 engine, which was my first ever Harley. It was heavily discounted to make way for the bigger 114 engine coming in early 2019. I had though, been very close to buying a 2016 CVO just like yours which was a similar price. I wonder if I made a mistake firstly because 3 years down the line I took the big hit (from new) when i traded it and possibly i might have done better with the CVO on resale? Anyway, apart from its reluctance to start on very cold mornings, and i got caught out on some bad deterioration on the fork legs, having sold it for financial reasons I realise now just how much I loved it! I now want another, and one like yours will definitely be on on my radar in due course. House move come first though! Great video.

Hey bob, An 8 inch block of wood between the sprockets works better and limits any damage to the sprockets and chain. Great Video ..

I know the vid was a year ago but for others that may be watching, I had the same thing happen with an 08 roadking. I put a new balls clutch in the starter and it worked perfectly from then on. You will still enjoy your new compensator with less slop. Great video!

Background music is entirely too loud.

That sound is the sound of using excessive engine braking, throttle blipping, and overly hard acceleration. Choose your poison, baby the drivetrain or,,,,,,

I am going to add this to my 2021 W800, good review and thorough. Thank you.

I was really glad that you were able to correct the rotor! Well done mate! I agree with @WilliamWBG that it was likely the bike shop that did the damage and not yourself, however, you did a great job in rectifying the issue. Cheers.

Bob did you sell this bike if not it is still on my radar..........but I am about a month away

Is it still for sale as I dont see it any more on trade me

Thanks for a great video without all the profanity and vulgarity that is so prevalent in America today. Your videos are educational with lots of classic! I ride a 2008 Road King Classic. Just purchased it and it broke down the next week. New stator, regulator, compensator… 1875.00. No warranty. Yeah, pretty sick. But that’s life. Old bikes need things. Thanks again. Virginia, USA.

I tuned in to your video because your bike is very simular to mine even the color. And I couldn't help but feel your pain. All the stuff crammed in a small space. But while in their take the time to make some improvements. Right off I'd replace the style of chain tensioner with the older style,as they are less problematic. And really check out you stator they are prone to fail. And perhaps up grade your compensator, the older compensatory I hear were better. My electraglide is an 04 has 50k, and compensator hasn't failed yet. probably just jinxed myself.

BobberBob if you were to do one more thing to this bike what would it be. Your bike looks amazing

Amazing. Glad you posted, was looking to this kit.

Compensating for garbage engineering. I can't stand Harley's and or working on them. Chrome plated tractors.

Had a friend that had one. Red and silver. It was a beautiful bike 😅

Hey Bobber Bob, I am curious if using a new seal with the rvt and a second seal fixed the leak? Having leak issue twice! on 07 ultra classic Electra glide FLHTCU. Also, do you recommend and aftermarket seals that are double lip? Thanks

Thats so true, thx for making how to realize the dosaster of some engines (looks).

Air filter on the Triumph Triples is a mission to get to as well.

man o war compensator...problem solved. harley parts are garbage...including the SE junk

With a bone stock bike stop riding it like you stole it and that will never happen. If you want performance do the proper upgrades, or simply just stop complaining

Been there done that. I didn’t let mine get that bad.

Love to buy your bike see how I go with the $s over the next 3 weeks. Live in Nelson. Why are you selling?

So just curious for my own project upcoming, all the wires back to the tour pack that you are splicing connectors onto, would they be able to be coiled up and kept long underneath the seat?

I have the exact same bike and have had it for a couple of years. I have purchased Harley's quick change tour pack accessory allowing me to configure it as a Street Glide or as a tourer. Your review of the bike was very informative plus I enjoyed the ride!

I love that paint job and the chrome! A fantastic looking bike! You made the right choice buying it. The review was amazing, keep up the great work.

Hey Bob Love your bike What Screen did you add?

Why the f*** doesn't Harley-Davidson build a motorcycle that we don't have to work on because they are so incompetent in building a dependable bike? Wtf?

Hi from Australia. Just discovered your channel (and subbed). I just got my Speedmaster yesterday. So far, its everything I dreamed of in my 40 + years of riding.

Love the belt drive....but not the screen....to me not in keeping....I limit myself to 65 to 70mph....open face helmet....still quite comfy. But its your bike Sir.....and it looks stunning.....you look after it real well....thank you for showing us your interesting mod....I wonder if the gearing remains the same. I know what your saying about the De-cat pipe....quite a fiddle.....but worth it....in several ways.....win win win.

Really liked the video,getting ready to do this on my 2010 electra glide. Only thing i would do different is on the 1&2 plugs i would have alternated male and female plugs on the harness ends. This would make it to where the wiring couldn't be plugged in wrong

When i last did that road from clyde to haast it was gravel all the way on a GSX-R 750 it was fun lol

Cool vid guys. What year and engine size are the two bikes?

after seeing so many mistakes I would leave the wrench turning to someone who knows what they are doing

Dammit my wheelie was just of camera 😂

Thanks for the hard work editing Bob twaz a great weekend. D.S.K.C.

Man my partner works on the phone booking passengers for these ferries, she had to deal with everyone's frustration on the phone after this cock up hitting the wharf. As far as I know there's been no explaination as to how an experienced captain manages to smack into the wharf, perhaps he had a hangover or something. 🙄

"⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐.....😎" Great video DIY

Just the part in the beginning, at the gas station is the result of a to tight primary chain. This will in the end be a reason to a worn compensator. I had the same trouble, but my compensator wasn't that worn. (2009, but the FXCWC used a Screamin' Eagle compensator) Removing the auto adjusting primary chain tightener from HD and using something that didn't overtighten the chain when the bike was cold fixed my problem. HD started using the SE compensator on all bikes from mid 2011 I think, instead of adressing the real problem with the primary chain getting to tight. (smaller teeth on the auto adjuster doesn't really fix this problem) To my eyes, your compensator didn't really seem that worn but video could hide the wear and tear. Also, NEVER use power tools when working on the compensator. You'll rattle the magnets loose, suddenly you need to redo the job to replace the stator and do all this a second time. Personally went with a Hayden tensioner, but any adjustable tensioner should be fine too. Never any issue starting up again at the gas station.
