Default How many miles on your TC 88 or 95?

Alright guys,here is the question-how many miles on your twin cams? This thread is aimed more at the high mileage bikes. I have a 2005 Electra (My other bike is pictured) with 58k on the clock with TW37 gear driven cams ind the 95 kit!
I am curious to see how far these things can go without a major rebuild! Please include rebuilds,mods etc.

If it's built with quality parts, and put together correctly..........there is no reason a built motor can't last as long as a stock motor. 100,000 or 200,000 or more shouldn't be a problem with proper maintenance.

My '05 has 45000 on it, 35000 of those miles are with my build in my signature.

My 2006 Ultra basically stock as far as engine 88tc 41,000 miles with no isssues at all. But I keep reading about cam changes, I don't know if this is something that has to be done or when it needs to be done.

My 02 had 68,000 miles when I traded it in. I went through 2 sets of chain tensioners and cam chest rebuild. When I traded it in cam bearings were failing again. Something was not right in the cam chest area, run out or pump installed wrong not sure.

My 08 had 48,000 when I traded it in. UOA's were very good on engine but I traded in because all of the other problems. Actually HD bought it back.
