Cam replacement
I'm not an engine guy. I have yet to buy a bike and do anything much more than a stage 1. The engine size was/is good enough for me. But now I have this 2020 Street Glide and I hear talk that the stock cams don't last very long. I even spoke with my mechanic who is Harley certified and he told me the same thing. I'd like to get the cam changed before something does go bad. I'm not trying to get more power, I just want something more durable. Suggestions.

It is not the cams that "fail", the lifters have had issues.
