187,000 miles (as near as I can figure-I'm on my third speedo). The bike treats me as well as I treat it.

96,000 miles on the current motor (factory reman.).

Thanks. Of course the bike is over 20 years old, and I've owned it since new. I've learned to work on it as I've gone along, and I'm still learning.

I've done my own servicing and replaced anything as it was wearing out. Still on the original clutch and gearbox. More than two dozen rear tires, though.

44k on the FLTRX and 24K on the FXSTB. I ride them aggressive and conduct maintenance as needed.

I had my compensator go out at 15k and the counterbalance at 20k. I'm closing in on 24k after this weekend. I've had the bike for 18 months.

Never kept track, Shovelhead has no speedo so no miles shown, have put 6000 on the Heritage since buying it last fall.... Have racked up a bunch of miles on different bikes in 40 years and ride almost every day, bike is my main wheels unless need the truck.

Bike is nine years old, approaching 80k with the rest of this year to ride and she's doing great, she even managed to haul my butt to Sturgis and back once, so she can't be too bad.

41K & regular maintenance and other than a few scratches on the saddlebag lids, it's in like-new condition.
