This is my FLH. She's dropped as low as I can go with dummy shocks. I got 2600 miles on rebuild of motor and trans.

you say : S&S oil pump ,which is shagged itsbeen dumping the contents of the oil pump into the sump for years..

Have you tried to take out the spring and but a pin of some sort down,and give the new ball a small "wack".. this so it sets better in its "seat"... or maybe a bigger "wack"..?
