DUE TO THE REPORTED FAILURES IN THE TWIN CAM 88 ENGINE I AM CONCERNED THE REAR CAM BEARING MIGHT FAIL WHEN I AM AT HIGHWAY SPEED CAUSING THE ENGINE TO LOCK UP, RESULTING IN A SEVERE ACCIDENT SITUATION. DUE TO THIS I AM NO LONGER WILLING TO RIDE WITH MY WIFE OR ANYONE ELSE AS A PASSENGER. I FEEL THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE THAT IF NOT CORRECTED COULD RESULT IN MOTORCYCLE DEATHS AND GRAVE INJURIES. *AK
