    Did you not have your cam shoes and oil pump checked every 25,00 miles ?
    Glad you caught it before it went any longer.
    My buddy had his checked at 23,000 miles on his 07 heritage. They looked like they was brand new.

    No. Nobody said a thing to me about cam shoes until I was getting ready to go on my trip. I was teaching a class with a former service writer for a dealership and he asked me about it. I freaked and flew down to the dealership after the class. It was a couple of days before I was leaving. They did an inspection and said that they were wearing, but they'd probably make it. The trip was over 8,000 miles, and then I put another couple thousand on after that. I pushed the envelope. At that point I knew what I was doing, so I'm not pissed at anyone for giving me shoddy service. I feel special that I got over 70,000 out of them.
