Default RE: 88B Engine Life

My 2000 fxst has most of the stage I upgrades and only has a little over 20,000 miles without any problems. A good friend of mine has a little more time for touring and has a stock 2000 heritage softail with over 40,000 miles and no problems. We both change oil at 2,500 miles and run jagg oil coolers.
Good to hear these testimonials.

just take good care of it and it should run great without a problem......any engine no matter what it is can give you trouble if not taken good care of.

bikes are line cars, you can run the crap out of them abuse them and they will still last a long time, if serviced properly and regurly.
congrats, and welcome to this forum.
