This IS a preventive report !!! I am reporting this for the benefit of other harley owners of this year engine. I wish to have harley recall the bikes rather then issue a 5 yr / 50,000 extended warranty on the bearing. It did not happen to my bike yet. But reports in magazine and on the web indicate that cam bearing failures on certain 1999-2000 harely engines are occuring. The web inteface here would not let me file unless I put numbers in. So, I put in numbers in in order to get a message to you. Again it did not fail on my particular engine. I speak for I don't know the exact numbers of bikes that have failed according to magazine articles and the web, and even harley has finally extended the warranty but I feel that IS not good enough. I do not intend to file this as a false claim on my bike. But it's a concern for me and in the press, and harley has recognized a problem. IS there a way to have them recall the bikes? Rather then an extended warranty. The mileage I stated IS the correct mileage; 9,200. And failure should be 0 so once again there was no failure, but I would like more information and possibly a recall. The $1,000 dollar damage IS a conservative estimate in the event of actual failure. I hope this save some people some trouble, and gets harley to issue a recall instead of warranty extension. We owners paid too much for our bikes and don't need failures that could be prevented rather then, "what if" or " it might fail." I see it as a safety issue. Please look into this information.*ak
