I believe the TC-88 would be the shortest lived engine design ever produced by HD. The only reason they went to the 88 from the EVO 80 was because of the bigger is better mentality of the average consumer. Then they had all kinds of problems getting things right on that one. Now they are going through the same thing with the 95-96 motors.



Yes, it's very likely that the Twin Cam won't survive much longer while the EVO keeps powering the original Triumph competitor, the Sportster. It's too bad they took their cost saving inside the motor to the components, the new "parent material" bearing surfaces almost guarantee catastrophic failure in the future followed by cost prohibitive rebuilds.

A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort. Herm Albright (1876 - 1944)
