• Worn guides are a leading cause of oil burning, valve stem seal failure, and lost compression on high-mile Buells
• Essential for top-end rebuilds, valve jobs, head refreshes, and cylinder head restoration work
• Long discontinued from dealer stock - increasingly difficult to source in genuine OEM form
• Sold as one (1) valve guide, Part #18113-96YA; multiple quantities available
