[@sailronin]

What is your warranty? The H-D warranty is now voided so when does Zipper's step in and to what extent if the engine fails?

[@sailronin]

Zipper, simple question about warranty below. What’s the answer?

[@pR1mal.]

@@sailronin David, I can't answer your question about Zippers, but I am looking to purchase a 20 low rider S and I've discovered that Moonshine Harley in TN will build a wild engine and their dealership will cover the balance of your bike's warranty. Seriously thinking about making the 500 mile drive to Moonshine, although I only live 80 miles from Zippers. I really want to do Zipper's, but the warranty is an big question. I hope someone answers your question.

So what you’re saying is about $ 10.000 !

[@nickheinz3737]

They only built up the top end; got to wonder if the bottom end will be able to handle the upgrade. The extra compression is going to make the bike harder to start. Will be interested to see how you will like this upgrade down the road.

I’m sorry man, I don’t remember you getting the fairing lowers on it. We’re they there from the start? Love, love, this build series. Thanks man!

[@cheezehdglen9468]

So how do you feel about giving up the H-D warranty? Is there any warranty after the build, or do you have to take it back to Zippers? Is there any warranty from them, or is it just a hot build and you are on your own, back home? I think I would have done this after the H-D warranty ran out.

[@Paul-gk9vb]

AZPackerfan for my own knowledge and bike.... I’d love to do the same but personally, I would hate to drive back to the east coast from down south for a repair. Plus I’d hate for anyone else to touch it for any repairs.

[@2004sadmanco]

AZPackerfan the H-D warranty isn’t worth a crap anyways. The second you do most modifications, it’s over. These bikes need the aftermarket support due to cheap parts internally.

[@sailronin]

@@2004sadmanco Don't do aftermarket mods until the warranty expires, pretty simple.

adjustable pushrods seem like a waste on this build since the jugs and heads were off

[@Twilson_Vtwin]

Josh Calbert its lazy honestly

[@laneh1968]

Josh Calbert I was thinking the same thing.

[@CactusJack252]

He said it saves a lot of time. They probably change out the pistons, jugs, etc first. and then do the cams and pushrods last.

[@TXCHOPER]

Setting proper lifter preload.

[@toddbaa]

Ive used both(adj/solid) on big builds. One of the Downfalls to these builds is high lift cams and Tappet wear. The adj's allow u to go in and replace tappets easily and NOT take the heads off. If youre like me and ride 15-18K miles a year, get adjustable. I was leery of them when they first came out. Until i saw a friend break a valve spring and the adj push rod was fine.

Did you do the chain drive conversion or you kept the belt ?

[@lqqkout4thedude]

How are the quick install pushrods saving time and effort if the shop is taking off the heads for this build? Actually, in this particular scenario, it seems like using adjustable pushrods will take longer to install and adjust.

Why Zippers wayyyy in Maryland?.

[@TravelingTall]

Because they have a great product and a great reputation. Zipper's Performance is deeply rooted in performance V-Twins. They're not just a performance shop, they are a performance parts manufacturer who also broke several drag racing records at the pinnacle of motorcycle drag racing. Google Danny Fitzmaurice. Dan, Dave, and JK, and the Zipper's Performance Race team have a proven record on the track and through there products that they produce. In the upcoming videos, I hope to show you who they are and what they do. The Zipper's team is top-notch. Thanks for the comment and thanks for watching.

They built exactly what I was looking for. Let me say this, if, you want more power, they have it ready and waiting for you. They have a couple of offering that will knock your socks off! The Sporster kit is a monster! The M8 Muscle kit is insane! Thanks for watching and commenting.

[@GBeWinginIt]

I enjoy your videos and understand your excitement for the build, however I feel you’ve lost 100% of your warranty which may not effect you especially if this bike is your keeper. When it comes time to sell or trade you can expect to receive pennies on the dollar because long term reliability is out the window. Not to mention the cost to upgrade the suspension and brakes if one truly expects to ride this motorcycle. Good luck and enjoy it as this is part of the “making it yours experience” and for some myself included IS ALL THAT MATTERS. Ride forever G BeWingInIt.

[@TravelingTall]

Thanks for the comment. I bought it to make it my own, that's one of the reasons I bought a Street Glide Standard, I knew that I'd rather take the extra money and make it my own. I know that's not for everyone and that's ok. I myself can't allow the fear of what could happen to fence me in from the freedom of truly enjoying my motorcycle. If I limited myself by all the possibilities and uncertaintys of unforeseen incidents I wouldn't be riding a motorcycle. As for depritaion, how is the bike any different from people sending there cars to Hennessy Racing or Dinan for BMW's. The bike is built by a World Record Motorcycle Racing title holding team in there factory 100 feet away from the parts that they manufacture and ship in the US and internationally. I have no plans of selling or trading it. Thanks for watching G Bewinginit.

[@deerebill01]

Your statement shows the inferiority complex all Goldwing Fanboys suffer from and I don’t blame them as riding that big old soulless sewing machine on wheels is absolutely boring in the extreme.
