I know this isn't in your area, just as an example, this one is $1,000 more for 60,000 less miles. https://www.facebook.com/share/1Bc7u1ZP8x/
Look on your own marketplace, bike prices are way way down right now.
It's a great time to be in the market, fortunately, or unfortunately, I'm pretty happy with what I have right now - I couldn't sell it for a decent price anyway.
If I wasn't man you can get a lot of bike for 8,000 or $10,000 right now.

(No rush. Take a year or so if ya need.)
Can we get a brief list of parts you stuck in the motor ? I see you did a top end job recently. Besides that, has any other motor work been needed ? Sorry for being nosy, but I am intrigued with this feat ! I don't think I could afford the fuel to do this, (if I could)

A salesman I know at IndyWest Harley Davidson put around 250,000 miles on his touring bike before any work was done on the motor.
He did have to replace the swingarm as it was almost rusted away, thank God the service dept. caught it. He rides year round, and snow covered, salty roads don't stop him. I've seen his bike parked in the dealership's parking lot with 3-4' of snow on it, he brushes it off and rides home.

Aside from new pistons and cylinders at 196k, it's been basic maintenance such as bearings, tensioners, and so on. No failures out on the road.

Doug Bane? Him and I have some mutual friends on Facebook but I've never met him. I'm less than an hour south from Indy West.

Yes, Doug Bane. I've known him for quite a few years as I've dealt with IndyWest for parts and having tires mounted there. Doug sold me the 1200 Custom at IndyWest.
I see you're in Bloomington, I ride down to Nashville and around Brown County fairly often. Alot of nice, scenic roads in that area.
