Awesome ride up to DC. Rode about 80 miles today and went into Maryland. Turned 6k miles Friday coming up I-81. Bike is amazing! Just put it in 6th gear and anything from 55 mph to 80 mph is instant two up and with gear.

gotta disagree with you on that bud. The tranny oil migration is a design flaw. Should not be happening. But thanx to $oldstone and crewchief25 they have come up with fixes unlike what moco have not done

Sorry......voted before I saw that the poll was aimed at touring bikes. Take away one vote for “2018 and no issues”
Mine is a 2018 Heritage.
For the record, I’m not big on modifying the engines on my bikes, nor do I ride them aggressively enough to generate any “self induced” problems......if that is a real possibility. Nonetheless, I expect my HD - ANY HD - to have no issues at any set of performance parameters. The worst thing I could experience is thinking I have to ‘baby’ my bike to keep it from breaking.
i will be waiting to see how this is addressed by MoCo.....or how it ultimately becomes an isolated issue.
