Got my SGS in mid June last year, has about 17,000 miles on her and have finally had a problem, although not with the M8. My stupid media door on my fairing wont stay closed by itself anymore, have to tape it down.

2018 FLHTK. Picked it up late June. 5300 miles as of yesterday, and no problems so far. Others have mentioned this, but I am enjoying the sound of the stock exhaust as it just keeps getting better.
