Ya, it is nice hearing from people that the spring hasn't helped...I'm afraid I'd be one of them too cause I took my bike in to a Harley mechanic (non-dealer) for the same kind of clicking noise. I was told by the mechanic that the noise wasn't right so he looked at the lifters and said they were badly worn. Well, to the tune of $500.00+ dollars, he replaced the lifters and added adjustable pushrods...no difference in the clicking! He showed me the lifters when I came to pick up the bike...they didn't seem worn to me and I've built v-8's enough to know what wear looks like. Sooooo, I live and learn...
