Default Easy Start Durability
S&S is on my short list for cams on my TC. The "Easy Start" option is tempting just to reduce starter wear over time. Has anyone heard anything on their durability? Thanks in advance.

EZ Start features have been on the imports for years, and were also on V-Rod cams.
No worries.

I have the 583 lift with the EZ starts on my Dyna. 3 years on them and probably 15k later, no issues.
