12K miles on my 17 RGS.

The tension to the rear drive belt had to be loosened since it was causing a noise in the pulley/sprocket area for it being too tight from the factory.

Also had oil transfer to the primary, but not enough to warrant the plug fix. It has stopped, but it is always in the back of my mind when I ride long distances. Looks like the new oil pump fixed the sumping issues, now it would be nice if they got a fix for the oil transfer so I can those installed and make mods to my powertrain after the warranty expires.

Other then that, it has been a joy. Rode 6K miles in the SouthWest back in June...ran like a champ, and no engine heat with the CoolFlow and Fan Assisted Oil Cooler!!

I had an 18 RGS for about 6 months and put 10k miles on it problem free. I recently traded that for a 18 CVO RG and have 2000k miles on it problem free. Great engine IMHO, better than the 103 on my 14 Fat Bob.

Where did you get those grips? Do they come in black? I love those coke bottle grips but haven't been able to find them with the throttle by wire.
Thanks

Gator Harley Leesburg FL. I am sure they are available in black. I chose white as a tribute to the first set of grips I ever grabbed.
