THIS CAM BEARING ISSUE IS WELL-KNOWN AMONG HD TWIN-CAM OWNERS. MY BEARING BEGIN TO CAUSE THE ENGINE TO VIBRATE EXCESSIVELY SO THAT I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE I HAVE IT SERVICED TO GET THEM TO RIDE IT. THE TECHNICIAN DECLARED THAT IT WAS INDEED THE CAM BEARING AT FAULT. HARLEY-DAVIDSON REPAIRED THE ENGINE WITH NO EXPENSE TO ME. MY REASON FOR REPORTING THIS INCIDENT IS TO ADD TO THE NUMBERS SO THAT MAYBE HARLEY-DAVIDSON WILL ISSUE A RECALL SO THAT THERE WILL BE NO UNNECCESARY ACCIDENTS/DEATHS.
