When I did my rebuild the bike had 50k on it. I sold it to my Brother-in-Law at the 80k mark in 2005 when I bought my Street Glide.

To date the only problem he has had was the stock belt breaking in 2006. Not bad for an 18 year old 1.5" belt. I'll have to check with him on the current mileage, but it's gotta be close to if not over 100k.
