Wife and I each have '08 Dyna's and have done over half the states and provinces so far...love every mile of our travels and there's no better bike for travelling North America.
What I'm wondering is how old can these bikes get before dealer support becomes difficult?
As I understand, the last major change since our bikes were built is the canbus system...
I've only relied on dealer help when needed (ie:broken headlight in my Fat Bob last summer) and every encounter has been positive, but I know service techs are only "trained" on newer bikes

 

I believe it depends on the dealer and the experience of their service techs. Many dealers quit repairing Evo's about 10 years after they stopped making them.

The good news is there will always be Independent shops that can take care of your bike if needed.

 

My friends and I regularly ride Knuckles, Pans, and Shovels (and even at least one Flatty) over extended road trips. None of those bikes have seen the inside of a dealer in over thirty years. Having said that, those newer bikes don't have the luxury of being easily serviceable on the road.

When the electrics take over, and the Hydrogen twins come out, you're screwed.

 

By then there will be no such thing as service, just like Apple's business plan. Dead battery? Buy a new iProduct.

 

As long as they are still making new twin cams, they will keep fixing the old ones. I would not worry about it.

 

You could always get a Cuban to work on it look how long they have keep those old Chevys running in Cuba.

 

ROFLMAO!!

AND, you do make an excellent point!

 

No better bike to tour on than the dyna? I'm a little stumped on that one

 

No better bike for touring North America; it was my opinion...
More HD dealers and support than any other brand
My Fat Bob is my favourite HD; the FLH's are too ponderous for me

 

I'm doing the SS1000 on my Super Glide in the spring. I'm curious what, if anything, you've done to yours to make them more comfortable for longer distance.

I've got a very comfy Mustang solo seat, the 18" windshield, the quick detach bags, fatter grips, and the mini-footboards.
