Default First 100k miles ...




On my '14 Limited has been priceless!!!

This has been the best bike I have ever owned, hands down.

For the most part, it is still stock. Only changes were:
* Ohlins shocks on the rear by Howard at motorcyclemetal.com
* Baker compensator
* Rekuse TorqeDrive clutch
* Screaming Eagle Street Canon slip-ons
* HD premium fork cartridge
* Black exhaust covers
* Rider and passenger cup holders
* Freemdom Shields windscreen
* HD edge cut windshield trim
* Custom Dynamics LED white turn signals
* Custom Dynamics LED white fender tip light
* HD saddle bag RTS LED lights
* BAL-1 brake light
* Has never been decat'd or tuned

Items that required shop time that weren't normal 5k service related:
* Front wheel bearings at 30k and 100k
* Clutch at 70k (including only because ESP paid for it!)
* Stator/VR at 90k
* Transmission rebuild at 80k because 3rd gear fork was bent.
* All recalls although none were an issue
* Version A XM antenna

All in all, the bike has more or leas been trouble free. It never (knock on wood) ever left me broken down on the side of the road. But I serviced it every 5k like a religion.

Congrats on the 100K. Any future plans for it or just keep riding it?

Thank you! Well, I still have 2 or 3 years of ESP and it is paid for, not to mention it rides amazing and still runs like new, so it's a keeper!

Sounds great I only have 53,000. I feel pretty confident about keeping mine for another 53,000 miles.

Thank you! Should have reached it early in the year but had some medical set backs. All good to go now though!

I see no reason why not! Heck, I have never babied this bike. I would venture to say I have definitely put it through its paces. I think that actually helped it. I have friends with substantially lower mileage that take it really easy and they are always shocked at the more 'pep' my bike has than theirs lol.
