Default too many miles ?
I have a 2005 Classic with 2000 miles on the engine . Stg I SE Mufflers, AC, and the unfortunate HD download. I am to receive my SERT next week. Is there too many miles on this 88" engine to install stock heads which have been ported/flow work/polished work done to them? I am concerned about different compression and blowing rings out. Also wanna add a cam.

I think you'd be just fine. I'm sure HDWRENCH will let you know for sure.

Hell, I've got 30,000 miles on my bike and I'd do it. I wouldn't even consider it until the 1000 mile service anyway.

I agree unless you meant 200,000 miles.
