How many miles you got...
#51
got over 25K on my 10 RG, only issue was compensator, which i had dealer do before major summer ride. I put 17K miles on mine in 19 days during Hoka Hey. Never used any oil, never gave a minute worth of problems. Tough piece of machiney. Ridden day, night, rain, cold, snow, wind, over 24 hours straight, with stops only for gas and rest room breaks. Even ran it off the road and it kept on taking the abuse. Thinking about changing the name in my post from Big Red to Timex.

Thank God I bought the extended warranty with the bike. All the repairs would have cost in excess of $3K.

50k on my 06 FLHTCI. Complete engine replaced at 40k. Camgear cam off and destroyed the engine, couldn't even re-use the cases. Upside to this believe it or not. Motor company stepped up replaced the engine with a VIN stamped from the factory replacement engine. Local dealer covered the labor. Can't explain it but the bike got me home, running horribly and puked in my driveway but I only had to push as far as into my garage.
