Could I safety assume that my 2016 CVO Roadglide does in fact have the new upgraded Screaming Eagle lifters in the engine? I have heard so many conflicting stories.
Yes but they are failing the same as the previous versions.
Hylift with axle oiling, slow bleed version is prefered and very affordable.
If it were mine, and as I did on my own personal bike, I would lower the spring pressure with a replacement set of dual springs without flat wire dampers. These motors run fine with premium springs at 140# seat pressure and a spring rate of ~350. Less pressure on the lifters, a good thing. Not the same as beehives as they have higher seat pressures despite a low spring rate. They also are a single spring that in my experience on these motors can fail and cause more collateral damage than a dual spring.
