OK, so I just got a call from the dealership... I was interested in getting cams done in my 2011 Electra glide police model. After 2 weeks of waiting for a quote, the service guy just called me and said they don't want to do the job, as my bike has high mileage, at 33,125 and they aren't comfortable doing the work as they feel that the bottom end won't hold up. Does this sound like bullshit to anyone else? Thanks
Doesnt bode well for their confidence in HD motor durability. So, how does this statement compare to having the can
ms installed earlier..,say at 1,000 Miles...then putting 35,000 miles on it. They sound like idiots...
BTW: Ive put 45,000 miles on my TC since I had SE 255 Cams installed. And it still runs strong and sweet.

Stop by and ask the Service Manager in person in His office in private. Be nice, and let Him give you His answer and why. Wait your turn, let Him explain, discuss your opinion on it. Pick a day that they are not real busy and rushed. Who knows, the excuse might not have been made by Him. Oh, and again - BE NICE.
