2019 Deluxe, 25k. Sticking Oil pressure switch at about 10k, and broken mounting tabs on chrome fender trim. Its in the shop now for 25k service. Warranty expires in 2 weeks, so they are doing a leakdown for my peace of mind.
I have 19,000 on my 18 114. No issues to speak of. Had to get the fuel pump regulator rotated and align rear wheel due to belt noise. Other than that nothing but riding.

I suppose I could also mention speedometer fogging (fixed) and belt noise (specification given in the service manual does not allow enough slack when loaded by the weight of the rider). I didn’t really consider these to be significant enough to mention. I’d have to say that it’s been the most reliable motorcycle I’ve ever owned. Ask me again in another 50-60,000 miles, though.

This is a great question. I'm looking forward to hearing from those guys with real, legitimate high-mileage softails, like north of 50,000 miles.
I've never kept an HD with over 35,000 miles. I always traded it in for something new or at least newer. This one, my 2020 Heritage, I may keep for a long time. That's one reason why I'm interested.
