I'm about to turn 180,000 miles on my '94 FLSTN. I might not have kept it as long as I did, but they quit building new Evos, and I've just never warmed to the Twin Cam.
I almost traded back in '01, but opted to rebuild the motor and rest of the mechanicals (belt, pulleys, fork internals, swingarm bearings, etc,) instead. Cost me about half what it would have cost to trade for a new one. I have 90,000 miles on the current motor. Runs like a champ. When It's time, I'll rebuild the motor again. Tranny is all original, never opened. Clutch plates are original.
Considering that nobody here has any interest in bikes with more than 20,000 miles on them, I guess I'm stuck with this one. Good thing it's not for sale, eh?
