“God willing, my 2003 Night Train will live forever.”

Amen to that... just keep an eye on your cam chain tensioners. The parts that ride against the chain are basically plastic. If one or both of them go, it could cause a catastrophic engine failure.

They’ve been replaced when he bored it out, added racing cams and put in a new clutch pack.
He pretty much rebuilt the whole thing up from stock

Luckily, he’s a motorcycle mechanic and things are usually good to go.

However, once in a while, he forgets to put back the bolts that hold my seat on, after fiddling with the wiring.

Lots of excitement, that.

:-\

The worst thing was when one of my pushrods had a catastrophic failure.

Other than that, it’s been very dependable.

[and now I’m gonna nag him tomorrow to look at the tensioners...just in case]

;D
