Don't worry, if he has 19k on his tc, it's worn out and he'll be needing an evo soon.

 

1992 FXDBD

Should turn 80k this weekend. Sure, it's had its share of work done to it but show me another bike that looks better with that many miles on it. I've put all but 5k of them on it.

Nice bike.....it's been several years since I've seen one of those.

 

Sounds to me like you got a good one............1993 Fatboy, 67,000 brought it with 48,000 2 years ago, top end replaced with Eldelbrock heads rpm package.PM brake calipersfront and back.Other than breaking a belt at 60,000 and volatage regaltor at 65,000 and tires and brakes and normal maintance everything runs good, added a SE ignition module rebuilt the carb, and replaced the throttle cables last month,will have to do the primary chain soon, no more adjustment left. also a few broken wire's at the connectors behind dash.bike never gets over 205 degrees, even in 105 degree weather. EVO's rule..........

 

Just got a Heritage a couple months ago. Its got 76000 miles. Seems to run good. Seems to be a little rich and fouling plugs. Its got factory jets and I'm at 6000 ft so I hope some new jets will clear up that problem. Otherwise a great ride.

 

Just a few months ago I bought my first Harley... a 1993 Heritage. The odometer read 107,300 at purchase. I just turned 110,000 last week. Runs smooth as glass, doesn't leak at all. I was a little worried about high mileage until I did a little research (and discovered this forum). I feel much more comfortable seeing some of you guys with so many miles on your machine.

 

We have a 1990 FLHTCU that we purchased about 2 1/2 years ago, when it had about 64500 miles on it. It now has about 91725 miles on it and always had something wrong with it, now it's the cruise control, and some minor oil leaks.

The top end done at about 78000 miles because it kept fouling plugs (cracked piston ring) in addition, they installed a Crane single fire ignition, Rev Tech chromally adjustable pushrods, 10:1 Weisco pistons, EV-27 cam as well as some head work with bigger valves. At first I had some pinging problems, but the plugs looked great - I adjusted the timing advance on the Crane Hi4 and eliminated the pinging problems and now have plugs that look like they could foul out any time but it runs pretty good, not as good as with the more aggressive curve but certainly better than stock.

Prior to the top end I needed to have the shift lever return spring in the transmission replaced, along with a few gears. I also had some oil leaks fixed but got new ones after the top end was done. I keep an eye on things and a few drops of oil on the floor doesn't upset me too much these days. After the the top end was done it developed a problem with blowing some oil out the breather - I installed a crank vent but ended up running a hose to the rear of the bike, the bike doesn't seem to use much oil between oil changes, but sure seemed like a lot when it was running out the air cleaner.

I needed to have the intercom/rear speaker amplifier serviced by Radio Sound - but in the end replaced the radio with the Biketronics retro radio kit and added an aftermarket (J&M Integratr 4) intercom so I could hook up a gps. I will probably upgrade it to a J&M bluetooth system next. I am also considering replacing the entire cruise control but not sure if I need to change transmissions to get the newer speed sensor ( older ones used reed switch) and I will need to replace the carb if I upgrade to the newer cruise. Which also adds questions, do I switch to a S&S carb and if I need to switch transmission case ( need speed sensor) can I go with the S&S 6 speed with speed sensor or will that force me to replace the primary and clutch as well as the '90 seems to be a bit different - many questions to think while I am riding....

I often get the urge to just buy a new one, but then when we are out on the road and everything is going good I get the feeling I don't want anything more.

 

I have a '96 FXDL with 40,670 miles on it. I did take the top end off at 40,000 because the base gaskets were just starting to seep. I put new top end gaskets and a new set of rings in it sense it was apart. Everything looked great inside. Still runs like a top. I have heard that evo's when properly maintained will easily go 100,000 miles.

 

Mine's an '89 with 33,700 miles. When I got it at thebeginning of Julyit had30,000 on it. I've since replaced the original carb with a rebuilt CV, replaced the stock air cleaner with an SE, and installed a Spyke ignition. Runs great.

 

Bought my '97 Fat Boy with 20k on it May '06... last weekend I turned 45k miles on it. That bike runs like a top and loves the road. The only thing that is needing replacing right now is the shocks. I do alot of 2 up riding and the shocks aren't taking it so well. It just leaves me with the decision of do I want a nice new air system or just good standard shocks.... decisions decisions.
