I have 7k on my 10 WG and the only thing I have had to replace is the rear tire at 5500. I ride kinda hard and also scrape the heat sheld on my V&H pipes. I put NGKs one step hotter and gapped at 55 and MSD wires and the Red Line oil kit all fuilds. I also run a bottle of turbo 108 octane booster you can feel the differance and it stops the pinging in the summer. It does not need it only pings a little when real hot out but runs better and revs faster and pulls harder and its only $9 a bottle so why not.

I have a 2011 wide glide. This is my third wide glide that i have owned in the past 25 years and it is growing on me. Was not crazy about the bike at first. Did not like the drag bars because i have allways had mini apes. Did not like the sound of the exhaust--my son said it sounded like a 4-wheeler. The blacked out primary cover,cam cover and six speed tranny side cover was too much black for me. So i made some changes. Put on 6 inch pull back risers and now the drag bars are more comfortable. Put on a cobra exhaust and now sounds like a Harley. Got outer primary cover,cam cover,tranny side cover,fuse box cover chromed. Looks and sounds great. Rides and handles better then any of my older wide glides. I love mine and say go for it!!!

13,000 miles on my 2010 and no problems yet except the ones i created for myself, replaced both tires just recently(worn out, flat on front), dealership scratched the front rim and had to lace a new one on, no cost to me.

Yea im pretty happy, been off a dyna way too long. I got the Black with the flamed tanks. I think the new wide glide is one of Harleys nicer bikes they have done in awhile. Sure am looking forward to it:-)
