I only hope mine will be as reliable 
, now that the 2 stranded rides have been out of the way 
>9000 miles ago. (Coil & ECU replaced at <1000).
First 100k miles ...
I normally buy a bike new, in 3 years run it over 100,000 miles. It is running as good or almost as good as when I bought it new.
Traded in.
Do the whole thing all over again.
So yes, the bikes can cruise over hundred thousand miles and keep on going if maintained well.
All I ever did was to bring it in on it service dates.
Harley makes great, great, great bikes!

OTOH, the speedos in my car (new) and truck (old) are both about 5% "fast".
Go fig...

Good job. I hit 100K with my 01 Wide Glide and have 45K on my Road Glide so I agree these bikes will run forever if maintained. My question however is what about your cam chain tensioners? I am ready to tear into mine to check and probably change. Have yours been serviced?

Thanks for making me feel confident in my choice to get a new Harley as a commuter. I am moving and my commute will be 120 miles round trip a day, roughly 25-30k miles a year. I have a road glide already and don't want two of the same bike, leaning on a street glide or ultra limited.i like the lighter weight and look for the street glide, for cutting lane splitting traffic also. But I like the storage, heated grips and better lighting on the ultra. Torn on what to do, but glad to see I can reach 100k miles with little to no big problems.
