Good morning guys. Picked up a 2016 cvo street glide with 43k. Was wonder how long you got out of your lifters, inner primary bearing and compensators. I think I hear the bearing and might do it all out of preventative maintenance to avoid issues. What are you thoughts ?

Replaced mine at 33K as preventive maintenance.
2015 CVO Road Glide Ultra.

i have 63k on my 16 RGU, comp and primary bearing are stock OE and going strong. i change oil in all 3 holes every 5k, lifters have been changed twice, they looked good both times.... so think im going to run this set a lill longer ,,,

At 43K and not knowing the history, I would definitely get it done.

Installed S&S lifters at 20,000. Getting ready to do it again at 40,000. Hadn't had a bad one yet...Just for piece of mind. Easy to do. Went with Darkhorse comp at 30,000. SE one was going out.

2015 Street Glide CVO

Lifters broke at 39k KM (24k miles). Expensive repair

replace lifters immediately. Generally speaking many started having trouble after 20K miles, some never problems. Risk is then a lifter goes, it will take out the engine.
The cam bearings are better than the earlier versions of the 110", but not perfect. Consider a cam swap if the original cam. Make sure they measure the crank run-out while you're in there. If you do a cam swap, make sure to do a proper dynotune afterwards.
As for compensator, if not giving you problems, then it can wait. Won't cause any other major issues when it goes (unlike lifters or cam bearings)
