Unfortunately my miles have been mostly commuting I-75 and the Florida Turnpike from sunrise Florida to South Miami, 86 miles round trip. I try to ride daily unless there are hurricane warnings. Hopefully going to make it to Daytona in March. I love my Heritage, and the only bike I'd trade up for right now is a CVO Road Glide. A guy can dream, right?

I put just over 6K on mine in the 8+ months that I've had it.
With an average like that, it's gonna take a few years to get close to needin MAJOR repairs. I hope.....

I switched to Metzelers after my second Dunlops. Got 40K out of the front one and averaging 17K on the rears.

Default TC 88 Engine

If you have the TC 88 engine don't ignore the cam chain tensioners or you may have problems after 30K. I installed the hydraulic upgrade at 33K to give me piece of mind.
