For what we spend on our machines they should be reliable and if they cant be it seems like the MOCO's duty to us its customers to make them so....The design of the EVO engine was dependable and strong Im just saying they could have built on it for another generation or two and perfected the damn ECM , etc before they put them out there right?
There's only one reason Harley used the "computerized BS": Because the federal government and its bureaucratic ideologues, through fiats, made them (and other manufacturers).

It doesn't matter if its John Deere, Honda or Ford. Government has created not only ridiculous mandates for engine manufacturers, they've created hardships on end users and their wallets, too.

Ford just announced that it is discontinuing their Ranger truck line because it will not meet the mileage guidelines coming next year.

As always, the crux of the woes ailing America can always be traced back to government...
