WTF? You can say you're doing this for any reason you like, to me it feels like you're putting a shopping list together. Can you think of an easier way to find out who's riding what and the shape it's in? I'm really surprised that this many people have responded to you, specially since you're so brand spanking new.

07 Street Glide - 43K.
Inner Primary race bearing replaced @ 24K, Starter Clutch replaced @30K, Compensator replaced 41K. Primary chain tensioner replaced @ 41K. Pads were about 1/2 worn & there were 2 updates to the part since the bike came out, so while in there just swapped it out.
I didn't start doing my own service until after 24K miles. I had to loosen the belt twice after bringing it in for service & I think that contributed to the race bearing going out. I think the starter clutch, was really a symptom of the Compensator being worn out.

2010 road glide 96" with 204 cams. 27,000 miles. Compensator changed under warranty to SE compensator at 23,000 (I paid difference on compensator upgrade). One thing I regret is that I installed an oil temp gauge when I bought it. It has been repaired once and now it has failed again. I put on an oil cooler, so the oil temp gauge was a needless expense and has poor reliability. Bike is used almost exclusively for touring one up loaded.

A little paranoid; aren't we??
I think it would be just a little too much trouble to come over here from Spain just to try & find someone's EXACT location--be easier & much more cost-effective to stick up a local "Tacos Are Us" I buy what he wants with the money.
Man, I thought I was bad!
So, here's mine--'07 RKC; cases needed to be re-sealed at 5 K miles; ESP covered it.
'04 Fatboy--New front Master Cylinder, new Clutch cable (installed EZ pull at same time)New rotors & pads to keep brakes from squealing; didn't work; still squeals.

Why would I want to put a shopping list together? I´ve got a brand new bike that´s dealer serviced so if it goes wrong it´s not my problem it´s theirs.
I simply wanted to know how long a Harley engine goes before it goes.
Wish I hadn´t bothered now.
Thanks for the support, mate!
