You only have 49,000 miles on your 2009?  What did you do, stop to eat or something?

It's no wonder.................Most of the heads I do with electronic compression releases can't have much more than 5 -10 ft. lbs. of torque. :o I guess their release tool won't pull more than that without flexing,and ruining the release. :-[

Wow 42,000 miles.  How many sets of tires?

Not many guys could stay in the saddle for that many miles in a year.

It appears the compression release must have worked it's way loose, and then striped all of the threads on the head...DS replaced the release and overnighted a new head and go figure it the gasket set was on back order.....Well HD has them put on hold until next Friday for a improved set coming out.....yeah right.....but got it back together in a day and a half, and back on the scenic routes
