2010 roadking
took my king for about 560 miles the other day
noticed towards the end of the ride it seemed a bit sluggish
i hope it's just due to the amount of miles on the engine at one time
any comments?

It's common knowledge that a Harley engine needs to be rested every 100 to 120 miles. That old technology is catching up to it. That's why you see so many Harleys in front of bars. Guys wetting their whistle while resting their poor old bikes.

That's the most ridiculous thing I have ever heard.
When you've been riding awhile, you get used to the power, so it just SEEMS sluggish.
My bikes always feel more powerful when I first start the ride, just like my guitar amp always seems loudest the first song of the night. Same volume, last set can hardly hear it.
