Given the above info I'll refrain from fitting a 96" kit to my Superglide in case it blows up on me.

Having said that I haven't seen too many twin-cams at the side of the road with shagged engines, in fact apart from an early production problem with cam bearings I have not heard of any problems with them here or on the US H-D forums.

I've only heard complaints about overheating on the big-inch deals and someone mentioned crankpin hiccups on the earlier TC's. Mind you, I've heard some complaints about Evo cam bearings but only had anything to do with one such mishap. We fixed it several years ago and it's still running.

Perhaps it's as much to with the operator and maintenance as much as faulty machinery.

CVO is real good for the 110 motor

Have to agree.

I just flicked my FXR and it was running fine at 97,000k's. I simply want to get something a bit younger and was thinking of going Twin Cam. However, after talking to a few bods I might just stay Evo and use the performance bits I have under the house.

A WG up to about '97 looks attractive.

Or even a 98', eh pc.

...Full Insurance is it seriously worth it and can it even be found at a reasonable rate.

...The Jap cruisers are still excellent bikes but this Harley thing has been chewing my arm off for years.

Mate, I figure we only live once and that ain't that long either. To me, it is all about relationships and experiences, so go for it and experience a Harley if you can afford it and that is what floats you boat.

If there is something you really want to do in life, go do it. Otherwise you will always wonder what it would have been like and never knew.

Insurance - if you never make a claim, at least it was peace of mind even if it is expensive. If you come off, then you would always say it was worth it on any higher value bike and it also indemnifies you.

I bought a Jap bike because a new one was a lot cheaper than a Harley. I might look at a Harley in 10-15 years time myself, but they only one I like is the v-rod for my own tastes.
