Bike falling to bits????
Just thought it might be interesting to see how many people have had mechanical problems(serious or not)with their 88 twin cams in the first5 yearsor less after buying a new bike? Include any work done under warranty.

05 EG - broken fairing brackets, intermitant turn signals, replaced valve seals all under warranty. Items I repaired (not under warranty) were replaced rear turn signal conversion module (shorting out running lights) and fairing inserts (glued them in using JB Weld). No other problems in 44,000 miles.

05 with 25000 + miles no real money spent to fix anything other than tires and service...though that might change next service as i think its time to look at the cam tensioner shoes.
