I have 90,000 miles on twin cam, never a problem. Makes no difference if you are a EVO guy or not, They been gone for 15 years.

Here or gone, they were a good, rugged, powerplant.

Had a Evo and Twin Cam..............never a problem Change the oil every 2500 Synthetic.....all three oils.......Just traded my 2011 limited with 50,000 miles ......no problem......never replaced a CLUTCH ...... THESE MOTORS ARE GREAT......JUST CHANGE THE OIL.....a LOT

I had a '98 Evo Fatboy.  Never had an issue with it.  I knew it was going to start every time I hit the button, and that it would keep running until I hit the kill switch.  Never had to even check the oil between changes.  My Twin Cam I have to check - and add - after every long ride.  And it made more mechanical noises out of the box than my Evo ever did.  People will look back on them like they used to with Shovels and Pans.  Should have kept mine.

yeah, I miss my KNUCKLE, but still got the EVO.  har.  spyder

I still have and ride my 98 road king.  It's a damn sweet ride.  All I've ever done is replace the rocker box gaskets to the newer 1 piece designs.  That and a starter clutch.

When I got an Evo all my older friends were saying "Hear no Evo see no Evo" Now they say the same thing about the twin cam, and the Evo is the best motor.

The Evo saved the MoCo. 'Never owned one, but rode a bunch of them, 'always thought that they were light years ahead of the Shovel (which I ran for 15 years), the best thing since sliced bread...

I asked some of the MoCo engineers why the Twin Cam? and they told me that they could do more with the geometry of the TC.

'Wonder if looming emissions regulations had anything to do with it???

One has to take into consideration how many TCs are out there, due to the rise of popularity of Harley, probably more TCs built than Evos, Shovels, Pans, and Knuckles combined...

The Evo, did save the Moco.

I have 70,000 on my 1995 had a 127" in it for the last 50,000, runs sweet and strong with 145 hp, had to convert it to chain drive (same as my 1984)

YesSir! it did!!!

Went from Shovel to TC and missed the entire EVO phase. Sounds like it was a huge jump though and yes a Harley savior. Reading all of Donnie Peterson's books on the TC and if he is the guru he seems to be I'll be working the bugs out of my TC's. Foundation sounds solid but all the EPA and profit margins take their toll on the TC. I still don't understand why they thought the pressed together crank was a good idea. All about profit.
