2005 SEEG Cherry with 21k miles incase you have a hard time reading it 56 thousandths.  or .056 as compared to the spec of .001 - .003

It didn't take out the oil pump or the cam plate just wallowed them both out a whole lot    

[Unbalanced]

.  note the lack of space at 12:00 it wobbled so bad you could watch it move without the tool

another look

WOW! That is crazy. Did your bike show any symptoms?

Do the '05's have a Jims (Screamin'eagle) crank or the imported one?

Do the '05's have a Jims (Screamin'eagle) crank or the imported one?

The stock crank in the CVO103's was not the forged Screamin' Eagle part, just a regular cast stroker crank.  And all the pressed cranks from Harley are subject to shifting, so seeing a few on TC88's or CVO103's isn't surprising at all.  The difference is that the failure rate ramped way up when H-D changed the design for the TC96 and CVO110 cranks and the primary drive/trans in 2007.

In the attachment, the CVO103 crank is the bottom one, the forged SE Pro crank is at the top.

if its true that they all have the risk

is it worth the gasket set to take it all apart and send in the crank to be trued, plugged & welded

just to avoid the problems?

[obviously take the jugs off with the pistons still in to avoid new rings and all the other work to make the job cost less....]

i run a sidecar so wfo is not uncommon. im unlikely to raise the cubes, might do a cam, unlikely to go for high power since breaking things sucks.. but if wfo will risk f up the crank is it worth the trouble?

the bike is paid for now so im concentrating on long term reliability.

Well boys, I for one am curious if you set the tool up properly.....don't mean to make a fuss here but I am curious as merely a foundation to begin from.

Ummm did you put the indent set screw in at the back of the feuling plate,  and did you properly "zero" out the dial indicator before doing the check?  You may indeed know how to work this tool, so I am not trying to be offensive.

There are really no instructions that come with the tool or how to use it, I for one had to acquire some "specific" instruction from a "precision machinest" that was gracious enough to teach me how to use this "particular" tool, buttttttt lol perhaps you were/are much more familiar with the tool than when I received mine.

Fill me in on your procedure on how you used it if you don't mind.

.056" would "typically" result in a total catastrophic failure.

Regards,

Tim

I totally agree with you Tim, .056" R/O  would rip the engine apart.

If you look at the plate shaft hole in relation to the shaft, (did i say that right) you can tell the shaft is way out of whack which leads me to believe the .056  I wonder what the wear on the shaft looks like.
