I put 20,526 miles on my 17 CVO Street glide in 11 months no issues with it at all. A good friend put 26,000 miles on his 17 Street glide in 12 months, no issues.

I have traded for the 128 CVO road glide.

Not sure how many high mileage 114's are out there.

I'm glad to see you have that many problem free miles , 20k Miles is 3 years riding for me.

I have had expensive problems on my 2007, 2009, 2013 and 2012 Harleys. I see no reason to believe that 2017 or 2018 will be any different.

I love my Harley, probably will never go back to non-Harley bikes. But it is kind of like a high maintenance woman. When it's running right and all cleaned up it is the best. When it ain't, ....well....it ain't.

My 12 CVO is in the shop now for a broken valve spring. My 2012 110 motor only has four valve springs. One broke.

The M8 has eight valve springs.......think about that!

LOL.
