I've got 89K on my '08 Wide Glide, still runs great with no leaks.

Front brake caliper replaced under warranty due to stuck piston.

Front motor mount replaced once.

Stator replaced under warranty due to oil leak where the wiring harness goes through the primary to the regulator.

Lots of tires.
Holy Crap!!! 89K in 2 maybe 3 years. WOW! You are definitely getting full use out of your bike. Any seriously big rides in that, or are they lots of different kinds of rides?
I just got home from a 4600 mile trip. We bumped into a guy, at Lee Vining, CA and he had just ticked off his 51st state and 3 Canadian provinces. You might be the first guy to actually wear out a Harley.

Bike's just over 2-1/2 years old, should pass 100K by the end of this year.

One trip from Phoenix to Daytona and back, one week long trip on the Southwest Green Chili ride last year through Colorado.

The rest is just a lot of local riding, mostly in state, on weekends and riding to work and back every day.

Some days I'll just take off to clear my head and come home that night with 800 more miles on the bike.

I changed my cam shoes at 51k then did the top end at 94k, now have 101+ and running just fine. Had the stator replaced under warranty when 2 months old in 02. I've been really happy with the longevity and I'm a master technician and pretty **** about dependability, if anything causes too much grief, I sell it, but I'll be keeping old Ruby.
