It seems like Harleys are good bikes.
To guys rebuilding engines. I repair car engines all the time and only replace bad parts. I don't take engine apart until I know exactly what the problem is. Sometimes I go to 3 smart guys to discuss engine problem.

I have just under 95'000 km on mine and other than the cam bearings it's only had regular oil , tires and brakes . Last summer there was a bike (newer than mine) but not sure what year , at my local dealer . It had 167'000 km on it and the dealer said it was sold and maintained there and the motor had never been opened . The owner obviously took good care of it because looking at it you'd think it was nearly new .
