I had mine for 8 years and 112,000 miles. I replaced all the bushings at 70,000 miles and other than that I didn’t do anything to it other than periodic neck bearing adjustments. I didn’t baby it either. It took me on a lot of dirt roads including a round trip on the Al-Can and always gave me a good ride. I have nothing but good to say regarding the design.

I have 5 bikes and my 08 Crossbones gets ridden the most. Biggest problem I've had is seats. Stock kept pushing me forward, put on a seat from my 53 pan and it put the jewels asleep. I now have a frame mounted seat and better rear shocks and am a happy camper. I really like it's ride and get hypnotized watching the springs work. Handles fine for me but I'm old and slow. Just did a 200 mile run and the seat is working great. Went over the pass from Prescott and on to my hm in Cornville so suspension got a workout with all the 20 and 15 mph switchbacks.
It's only money...think of riding over the bridge onto Daytona Beach with that Springer leading the way...
