Is that miles without over hauls?
When I had my 92 softail it had over 70 thousand miles on it. Although i did put JE high compression pistons and Branch heads on it. BUt it still ran strong with that many miles on it.



Now I have a 95 Fat Boy with only 17 thousand miles on it that i just picked up last Mon.

No overhaul, just replaced the base gaskets.

Just got rid of a 1995 Roadking in October with around 80,000 on it. It was still running like a top.

Regards,

Bill
