2010 FLHTK, bought new 11/22/2009, just shy of 42,000 miles.

Replaced or repaired under warranty:

- 7 tires (ESP)
- 2 wheels (chrome flaking)
- H-K stereo
- compensator (replaced with S/E)
- clutch (replaced with S/E)
- rear pulley
- whole top end of of engine "worked loose"

And it'll be going back in soon for a leaking stator plug.

01 Ultra bought Nov. 07 with 4995 miles. Just rolled 40000 and other than a lifter going bad at 13000 no other problems. Added gear drive cams when replacing lifters and only other issue was a PCIII taking out ECM fuse.

You must have driven all over the states. You should apply for iron butt. You retired? or rich? congrats to lots of miles. Enjoy many more.

I'm not nearly as high up as these guys; but I took delivery of my '09 Ultra in July of '09 and have about 27k on her; not one issue. No real mods though; just slip ons/stage one DL and AC

I ride 30k-40K a year.

4 TC's and one Sporty in last 12 years.

A few minor issues with each one, except a TC88 on a 05 RK that grenaded at 50K miles due to an out of round crank.

Engine was re-manufactured under extended warranty for $50.

'00 FLTRSEI

New to me Auqust 2007 at 23,900 miles. Just turned 93,000 miles last week.

After 2 stator failures, replaced charging system with Compu Fire 3 Phase and no more problems with stators.

At 67,000 miles, drove home from Myrtle Beach with a small crack in the Y Pipe. (didn't know it.) Next morning hung an exhaust valve on startup which tapped the piston. Replaced both heads with clean take offs and got a new exhaust.

81,000 New Gear Drive cams.

Nothing to complain about, my Daily Rider.
