2010 tri glide 103 ticking noise sounding like a lifter

Sounds like you were having catastrophic engine failure. Flywheel shift is a known issue. Once that has gotten to a point it will do some serious damage

I heard that there is a fix for that and S&S engine are tac weld so they won't shift and cause a problem you would think Harley would do that

S&S doesn't weld it's cranks, they are just pressed together and then a slug is pressed into the crank pin to increase the pressure against the wheel half.

waynes trike

well I got my trike back and it runs real good ,they had to replace the rear cylinder head ,replaced fly assm., new lifter , new oil pump , found out the fly wheel didn't separate and get loose it actually was to tight and the rods wasn't moving as freely as they should have , sounds like possible a factory screw up , but have to say they took care of me and replaced a few things just because they were already into , with all the things that were bad it sure did run good, after I heard how well the victory engine was built almost wanted to get rid of my Harley but getting it back and riding today naaa I thank i'll keep my Harley love my machine even if there is things that could have made it better as far as the engine goes
