🛠️ Road Glide Revival — From Leaky & Lazy to Dialled & Deadly 🛠️
This Road Glide rolled in needing more than just a touch-up.
Oil in the throttle body, poor breather setup, brake fade, worn suspension, and let’s just say… the primary told a story. 😬
We gave it the full treatment:
🔧 Major service — oil, filters, clutch, bearings, and a deep inspection front to back
🌬️ Found excess oil pooling in the throttle body — fully cleaned the throttle body & manifold
🧼 Top-end cleaner used to burn off oil build-up on pistons
⚙️ Rerouted the breathers to a 4-stage catch can system to keep the oil where it belongs
💨 Installed vent kit — drilled & set up the inner primary the right way. When we opened it up, the primary was full of gearbox oil, leaving no oil in the gearbox itself. That issue is now properly sorted.
💥 Pulled the exhaust and primary to access the trap door — removed that spinner and did it properly
🛑 New brake pads and full caliper service
⚡ Set up Öhlins rear suspension for a plush but planted ride
🔥 Swapped plugs, cleaned up the air cleaner, and made sure every bolt is torqued and tight
From struggling to breathing freely — this Road Glide is back in business and built to go the distance.
