Indeed I know how to install the rear wheel, and at 20:22 I see your (?) little detail, that is the black marker spot on the belt tensioner cam, to see if it stays in the same position after riding, so the axle nut is tight enough. I put on the same marker there on my bike, and after replacing the rear tire, I turn the cam back on the marker, and then the rear belt tension is the same as before the rear wheel removal. So I can see that the belt does never stretch on my bikes. And of course, I clean the swing arm as well !

Fantastic video describing the procedure of removing the rear swing arm Stephan. I changed the drive belt on my 2018 Street Glide, and followed the Harley Davidson Maintenance manual procedure as written. It’s very confusing when it comes to removing the swing arm axle and bolts from each side, if trying to understand the manual. But after having done it once, and now, watching your video, for those that are going to tackle the job…Stephan’s video makes it abundantly clear as to how to remove the bolts and axle as opposed to how the manual is written. Bravo Stephan! BTW..My rotations have me operating the South Pacific/Caribbean routes from Canada lately. Hopefully I’ll be crossing the Atlantic again in the near future.

Although, this CVO is a little tougher to get in and clean the front of the arm. Oh, and I think your new '23 CVO is the best, fast smooth, nice looking, well even smoother when I put the Wilber shocks on.

The only weird thing is it doesn’t have left and right hand threads on the heim joints so turning the turn buckle to adjust isn’t possible.

Clear video, Stefan. Best I've seen on yt in terms of explanation. However, a question about the rear shock absorbers. I have a new set of Hyperpro where the left one is 5mm longer than the right one (it is also in the description). Also, I have Progressive Suspenion 912 lying around where the same applies. So why is that? Greetz from holland

You would gain a lot of weight while watching me… If your bike isn’t wobbly, don’t change anything. I would check the easy movement of the swing arm during a rear tire change. If the movement is stiff, the swing arm needs to be removed to clean/change the bearings. That’s the proper moment to change the bushings. If you have wobble, change them right away

Cleaned the part. So few do. The mark of a Master in any endeavor.

Hi Stefan, enjoyed this video. What did you do to make the swing arm move freely? And I also keep mine clean!

About 20 minutes cleaning and relubing. Packed this thing in grease to hopefully keep out the moisture. The easy movement was solely because of that.

Good video Stefan. I believe the Rack and Pull industries Equalizer tool used in conjunction with the installation of an adjustable top front stabilizer (replacing the oem non adjustable) to be able to bring the drive train into alignment correct? The swing arm can't move up and down for adjustment as the swing arm pivot shaft runs through the rear transmission case. The adjustable front stabilizer is the key the same as it was on Twin Cams & FXR's.

You are correct. The only way to get rear swing arm in a correct vertical plan is to check swing arm vertical alignment with the equalizer tool to get a measurement of the left and right rear swing arm. Normally the left side is off due to that being the drive side. In order to properly align the rear swing arm vertical plane. You need to adjust the motor left to right alignment and that is done by replacing the none adjustable stabilizer link with an adjustable stabilizer link this allows you to move the whole drive train to the left or right then check the rear swing arm alignment when stabilizer tool shows in alignment then you can lock down the stabilizer link nuts. Just adding those bushings is not addressing the true issue.

Not yet, as the weather is still to bad to get a lot of miles. There is a significant introduction of engine vibrations by the reinforcement bushings. Therefore on the TC, we removed them. On the M8 it’s noticeable but ok, so here they will stay. I want to emphasize that both bikes were stable and we want to get experience with the bushings. Unstable bikes were cured, with the bushings and an adjustable upper engine mount, as some comments show.

Kurzer Erfahrungsbericht: Hab die Dinger nach 300km testen am Wochenende wieder ausgebaut😟. Verbaut waren sie in einer Street Glide mit 103er TC mit Wilbers Fahrwerk. Alles ordnungsgemäß verbaut, Schwingenlager gereinigt, gefettet und mit dem notwendigen Drehmoment wieder zusammengebaut. Nach dem Einbau wurden die motorseitigen Vibrationen so verstärkt, dass es bis 2000 Umdrehungen fast nicht möglich war den Tacho abzulesen. Extrem spürbar speziell beim Abtouren (Gaswegnehmen). Absolute Zumutung in Verbindung mit dem TC Motor und daher für mich keine Option. Werde jetzt noch mal testen, ob ich nur mit dem korrekt eingestellten verstellbaren Stabi eine Vetbesserung spüre.

Hi, How much did the vibration levels increase after fitting this kit? I ask because I fitted the same kit to my RG24 as per the instructions and the comments and tips in this video. The OE istaltors are in the right place. Bushings o ALLOY ART are positioned correctly. The vibration level is significant - especially when letting off the gas. The vibration is strongest in the 2500-3500 rpm range. Even the handlebar shake a lot.

On ours it was much less than you describe. Nevertheless we removed them again. All bikes were stable in the first place, so getting vibrations for nothing didn’t make sense. I know 5 different M8s, that were unstable, being straight now. For that I would accept the vibrations.

Wouldn't a rear frame stabiliser solve this problem without increasing vibration?

@@WhiteRG24 No as the swing arm axle is rear engine mount as well, everything that increases stability on the swing arm introduces vibrations into the frame. Wilbers did some research, with those stabilizers as well.
