The rear cam bearing on my 1999 harley davidson roadking has failed. The manufacture IS entirely aware of the design defect. I fail to see the logic on how my vehicle must damage other engine components before harley davidson backs up their obvious design flaw. The dealer was informed on 8-1-02 that I'm now hearing a noise near rear cam bearing area. I asked to have my harley repaired "harley davidson failed to do so". I feel H-D should replace the cam bearing prior to failure. I tried to contact H-D motor company and got nowhere. I guess when demand in a product IS high, the dealer doesn't have to back it up . did I mention "ill never buy another harley davidson. Please help! Thank you.*ak
