Thanks again

I wouldn't and don't worry over the cam chain tensioners . The only real problem in the past were the springs that kept the tension . That design was improved with the 96" motor . Also the the tensioners themselves were upgraded with a better material . A new twin cam Harley will be as dependable as most riders will ever need . If you want one....Go get it .

Add a fuel management of some kind and the motor will run richer "more fuel" cooler engine. Synthetic oils also help cool the engine. Maybe you need to look up the Honda line up. Most of their bikes are liquid cooled.

seems you don't think much of the dependability of harleys already? have you had any past experience, or are you only working with the opinions of non-harley riders...??
thus far mine's been a champ, ridden it in temps over 100* and so far as low as the upper teens, always fires up and always brings a smile.... it's a warm "upper 30's" right now and i'm heading out for a ride
if you like the style of the 11SB, get it, no reason it should let you down unless you treat it like crap and don't do any maintenance - in which case any bike/vehicle/mechanical/electrical item will let you down someday
