My '89 Tour Glide had just over 120,000 miles on it when I got it. Previous owner pulled a trailer, had new transmission gears put in right around 100,000 miles, and beefed up the top end. Next trip took out the bottom (not unusual for a top end only on some EVO years, even without pulling a trailer). Then he opted for a 96" S&S, which has about 20,000 on it now. The bike ran strong, but I decided to fix a few things (like rattles all over it, worn bushings, clunking forks...) and that turned into a frame up refurb, still in progress. Figure I'll put about 3 grand into it, should be way better than new. And no more trailer hitch - didn't figure on welding broken brackets when I got it, that back end isn't built for that; no wonder it rattled...

 

There was a guy, I swear I wish I could remember his name, that was famous around here. He had a 1986 FLH__ that HD gave him a new bike for that had something like, 426,000 miles on it and the motor had never been open except a cam bearing at like 80,000+ miles. That seems hard to believe but, there's a web page floating around out there that tells the whole story. The bike's name was Charlie.

I might also note that he only used RevTech oils and fluids in it.

 

David Wylette was his name I believe.

Check out Scotty Kerekes too.

 

Here's one for the record books

Yeah, Dave Zien is the champ. On an FXR, natch.

 

Lovin that!

 

Thats crazy. 1,000,000 miles.

 

Got just south of 60k on the Dyna. It is starting to sound a bit noisey and parts are starting to fall off so rebuild time is a coming up. I don't coddle.

 

hmmmm ....
