I started off intent on just check the cam chain tensioners on my 2009 FLHTC, and then thought, what the hell. As long as it’s apart, I might as well upgrade to the Zipper’s Red Shift 525-HS cams. The 525-HS cams are a set of bolt-in units, and they allow me to use my

Tail Gunner checking in! Well it’s winter again, so I thought I’d give my old Softail a face lift. She’s been a good old gal, a survivor of many a road trip. But the years are starting to show, paint chips, fading and rock dings everywhere, plus the old pin stripping is looking a little
