Default RE: cam shoes

Mileage has NOTHING to do with it... HD warrenty is Time based.....

And you do not need to do a major teardown to access them......

It is a nosecone.... that is it....

I upgraded to S & S 510 gear driven cams at about 27K miles. My rear show was pretty well worn, but the front shoe was okay. I kept up on all maintenance and usually had my oil changes done early. FWIW.
