Crank sensor replacement mileag/age.
Looking to see out of the people who have had to change one what kind of miles/time do you have on your bike. Bike farted once and since then have code 41 for ckp sensor. I am about 28K right now. Don't wanna be stranded.

There is a root cause to that failure and it is not the sensor. That many failures/replacements are statistically impossible. I would consult a different dealer for an opinion or find out which supplier makes the sensor and call their engineering department. They will know. 
However, if you get oil on it that can cause failure as well.

It's easy to replace, about 10 minutes once you've done one, but expect to pay about $50.00 for the sensor. And yes, it's a common and recurring problem on 04up Sporties.

My son rides a 2004 XL1200C and he's on his third sensor with less than 30,000 miles. Previous post about Sportys having a sensor problem is well documented except with the dealer network. All too often they don't run the DTC's and diagnose the trouble as carb related.
Edit- 75,000+ miles on the original sensor in my Road King.
