Google the book by Chris Hopper "Thunder Across America". He did 100,000 miles in 100 days (consecutive) on his bone stock 2020 RGL.

You should probably post this in the Milwaukee 8 subforum, then.

Yeah, pretty impressive! There was a couple of threads on here about, and during the trip.

I think Chris now has 200,000 miles on the same bike.

Our respected member @scott7d has 186k miles on his M8.

Here is a good link to details. Go to post #5.

https://www.hdforums.com/forum/2014-...k-mile-m8.html


Copied from that post:
For what it's worth, my 2020 CVO Road Glide has over 186,000 miles and has been great. The few things it's needed outside of normal maintenance:


1. New front compression release at 140,000.
2. Stator started to go at 170,000, replaced that and the voltage regulator.
3. Each O2 sensor has been replaced once.
4. General cam chest service at 150,000.
5. New knock sensors at 180,000.

Aside from that, the bike has never left me stranded or needed any kind of work from something that made it unrideable. 17 Iron Butt rides with this bike, and lots of miles from sub-freezing temps to triple digits. Most would even say I stretch my oil change intervals out too far, as well.

Will everyone have this kind of luck? Probably not. But at 60k I don't think anything would be on the verge of exploding any time soon. However, I would check that the oil pump has been updated. That occurred in late 2019.
