Unfortunately my miles have been mostly commuting I-75 and the Florida Turnpike from sunrise Florida to South Miami, 86 miles round trip. I try to ride daily unless there are hurricane warnings. Hopefully going to make it to Daytona in March. I love my Heritage, and the only bike I'd trade up for right now is a CVO Road Glide. A guy can dream, right?

I put just over 6K on mine in the 8+ months that I've had it.
With an average like that, it's gonna take a few years to get close to needin MAJOR repairs. I hope.....

Default TC 88 Engine

If you have the TC 88 engine don't ignore the cam chain tensioners or you may have problems after 30K. I installed the hydraulic upgrade at 33K to give me piece of mind.
