2008 FXDC with 15000 on the clock. Run SIN 3 in all three holes and change Oil and Filter every 5000. No problems, a slight engine vibration at idle but goes away completely above 2000 RPM

After this past weekend's trip to N. Florida, I'm close to 23,000 miles with no real issues. I had a vibration after my slip-ons were installed. It was caused by a hose clamp resting against bare metal. Backed it off - no more problem! Ran syn after the first 1,000 miles.

But to each their own.
I have an 07 with over 43,000 miles and the only thing I've lost is my Right side upper shock bolt (big after 40,000 + miles haulin my fat around it finally just gave it up), Stator, Regulator/Rectifier, 6 batteries, clutch hub (which took out my stator as the hub was losing the little pieces into the oil bath and managed to get behind the rotar, Yeah weird, I know and I assure you that sucked because I was on my way to Sturgis!)
But since I bought it I have changed just about everything out and yet the bike still looks pretty close to stock... so it's a motorcycle they're made to take a beating and it doesn't matter what brand of bike you ride it will need maints (don't skip those or you WILL regret it) Yamahas, Hondas all these bikes need care and service at recommended intervals. I'm just glad you're sticking with Harley... because as I've said to any of my Harleyless friends... I'd rather push my Harley than ride rice!:-)
