		Ran across the bike used, 4,200 miles clean low miles good indicator of good maintenance, right.<br /><br />
 Very Wrong, Harley sent quite a few 2005 motorcycles out into the showrooms with defective Valve Stem Seals, Some bikes went into instanr failure some did somehow get quite a few miles on them before f<span class="simple_review_box" >...</span><span class="expand_review_box" style="display:none;">ailing.<br />
Harley decided to keep MUM about the situation and stick the consumers with the repair cost if the bike happened to make it past the dates and or mileage in the warantee.<br />
If 2 prior owners were attentaive to how it ran the bike was telling them something was wrong.<br />
 I bitched to Harley but got no where, they seem to have some sort control over court's, they seem to win all the claims filed on them via the justice system.<br />
Word of warning be cautious of all twin Cam models built in 2005 and early 2006.</span>
