Entered my VIN on this page for the service checkup feature and the only note that came up had to do with twin cam ball bearing - vs roller bearing change.

Subject: Rear Cam Bearings on 1999 and early model Twin Cam 88 and Twin Cam 88B motors.
On December 14, 1999 a running change was made in the design and production of the rear cam bearing in Twin Cam 88 and Twin Cam 88B engines. The change replaced the ball bearing style bearing in the rear cam with tapered roller bearings. The Motor Company is aware of the publicity this change has received and the concern some customers may have with the performance of cam bearings.
In order to ensure our customers' satisfaction, the Motor Company extended a 5 year/50,000 mile warranty on the rear cam bearings to owners of certain 1999 and 2000 vintage Twin Cam 88 and 88B motorcycles. The affected motorcycles have ball bearing style bearings in the rear cam and were manufactured between July 1998 and December 14, 1999. This offer reflects the Motor Company's confidence in the product as well as its willingness to go beyond the normal one-year warranty in order to ensure our customers' satisfaction. Under the terms of this warranty, any failure of the rear cam bearing during the extended warranty period will be covered by the Motor Company at no cost to the customer when the service is provided by an authorized Harley-Davidson dealership.
Any questions about which bikes are affected by this warranty or any questions or problems related to your specific bike can be answered by calling the Harley-Davidson Customer Service Department at 1-414-343-4056.
