Not sure about the bike and miles, but my front brake (single side) broke in rather quickly and stop the bike quite well for a cruiser. Initially it was very weak and scared me a bit as well.

Bike concerned is a 97 Wide Glide, always wanted that model as a day ride bike. I just think the styling is nicer on the older models...nothing to much wrong with the new ones, I just like the old Wide Glides, but they do have a couple of upgrades that need tending to...such as seating and suspension and front brake..grin.
Have an 08 Ultra for the long hauls

Mine did as well when it was new, plus I was coming from riding a sportbike. Good now.
