Clayton, the majority of "Happy Harley Owners" live back East where their rides hibernate for seven or eight months of the year. Ask any Harley Davidson service manager the weak link in their twin cam motors, they will tell you that the cam chain tensioners is the weak link in their motor design. HD knows that full well and has done nothing to redesign the cam chain drive. The good news is that S&S gas by offering their gear drive. Unfortunately to purchase and have one installed it will cost the owner over one thousand dollars. Clayton, I really enjoy riding my Harley. I have 75,000 miles on my 2000 Road King. It only took five top ends, one bottom end, two starters, three staters. two transmissions, two ECM's and a whole lot of aggravation to get there! Western Warranty has paid over $7,000.00 in extended warranty. My 1999 BMW 1200 LT has 42,000 miles and the only thing that was replaced was theABS sensor!
