The concern is the quality of the components. There is a reason that RevTech is so much less expensive (and why at the beginning Revtech went to a 20,000 mile warranty to encourage buyers to consider Revtech because when they first came out they were pretty unreliable.)
Like Harley however, who also cheapened the brand, I suspect that they must be somewhat better nowadays.

Since when was taking you to school supposed to be painful? What purchase? There was no purchase, just asking a forum for real world experiences to gain product knowledge and at least twice you came up short. I thought I wasn't on an S&S thread? I'm keeping this short so I don't lose you again.

I wonder, where is your hands on revtech experience to arrive at such wisdom? By replacing them with S&S engines?
If after 5 years there are only these 3 concise answers, what is going on really?
No one is buying revtech at all, or are 100% of the sales a success?
If anyone spent $5000 on an engine and it failed prematurely, wouldn't they document it all over the internet just out of their frustration?
I can't find anything substantial or concrete for that matter, that goes either way with the current revtech line. There are the usual emotional responses, that it's made in Korea, and not in some domestic plant of lazy fat assemblers, who suffer from alcoholism.

It appears your cognitive disengagement prohibits you from distinguishing the difference between those that contribute and yourself.
Having nothing to offer on this thread, and should go back to your usual channel.
You are a demonstration of a limitation that cannot provide anything useful to this subject, and substitute a lack of knowledge for another agenda by your two posts here. Truly and clearly you are the troll. Here, I've quickly found another thread that is more your speed. Farewell. https://www.hdforums.com/forum/off-t...real-name.html

Not trying to go with anything that would be 'over your head' but you do know that you're highjacking someone's post on building and or purchasing an engine in the Exhaust section of the Forums instead of in the proper Engine section. When you stop quoting magazine articles for all your so called expertise on a subject which you evidently know nothing at all about, get back to us, until then stop trying to impress us with your bullshit about how a Revtech POS is superior in all aspects to an S&S motor.
