What's high mileage for a Harley?
#31
100,000 PLUS.... on my bone stock TC-88 2005 FLTRi.
Stage one intake flash, and SE slip-ons.
Bikes runs great and I have zero concerns throwing a leg over and hitting the road.
Cracked the "Y" pipe twice, and I've replaced the cam tensioners for the second time (each 50k).
A couple of things got mangled when I killed a deer last year (no I didn't drop the bike) but I don't consider that stuff "wear & tear".

Got 118 out of the top end, then had to rebuild the bottom end at 147 because of some bad machine work at the 118.
I run on dirt roads a lot so lots of sand.
The twin cam should do 150-200 k no problem under normal conditions.

Highest I've ever seen is my buddy had a 95 BMW with 209k on it. And he bought it new so every one of those miles were his.
My bob has a bit over 32k on it and no issues other than the usual crap. Considering I bought it with 239 miles (dude bought it, rode it a few times, then decided it wasn't for him) I'm pretty happy with the mileage. My iron only has about 6k on it but its not really done up for anything other than around town.

I have 90,000 mi. on my '04 EG Classic. Only thing I ever did to the engine was convert to the hydraulic cam chain tensioners @ 75,000. It really didn't need it either. I change the oil regularly, the engine runs great. Heading to Florida on it in 6 weeks.

Resurrecting a 6 year old thread? . . . . Priceless!
Why not PM the first 5 or 6 folks who posted to this thread in 2007 and see how many miles they've got on their bikes now?
