Met up with Doug on the weekend to drop off the venerable and ratty (in a good way) '02 FXDXT for top rebuild, forks, brakes. I feel my bike is in very good and skilled hands. Excellently equipped workshop too.

Update:
I'd taken the '02 Dyna to Doug to do the cam chain tensioner upgrade, (just in time by the look of them), fix my front brake lines (previously a bit butchered overseas when the higher bars went on), and rebuild my (leaking) fork seals.
I picked up the bike last night and it was a pleasure to ride - so much so I took off up the Paras just because. Should've worn autumn-weather gear though :-)
Doug did a terrific job in my opinion and was a pleasure to deal with. I'll be baaaack there for sure when I next need work done.
Hey mate. I think from memory the 1584 had gone to the solid bronze bush setup. Having said that, at around 60k you'll need to do the slippers if you have big cams in it. On std cams you can normally run that out to around 80k. There's a needle bearing in the cases that needs doing around then as well.
Cheers,
Pete
Thanks rdj, good to see you are happy with the work and your bike,as for cam chain tensioners pete have seen them fail at 30k and some are good at 80k no rhyme or reason,but the hydraulic upgrade is better as the shoe material is better.
Done mine at 60.000 kms....it definitely needed it by then.
The shoes were about to break.
Well worn.
Bought the tool required for the job ex Merica.
With the proper extractor easy job.
Will sell if somebody is interested...
Opinions are like arseholes: Everybody has got one, but that doesn't mean you got to air it in public all the time....
I am considering the V & H Hi-Output 2 into 1 short exhaust for the Fat Bob, I am not intending to do any engine improvements since adding the SE Hi flow air filter and getting the SE super tuner. The Original exhaust had the headers cut open and the CV removed, the standard mufflers were also removed and modified to Performance Research specs (what ever that means)? work done was through Wellington Motorcycles and the previous owner at 1600kms. The bike runs very well and the new suspension upgrades should improve the ride, but is a bit too quiet for my liking, not too worried if the 2 into 1 gives little performance improvement, but really hoping it will improve the sound.
Anyone on the forum installed the short 2into 1 Hi output ?
