06 deluxe, 11,500 mile intake gaskets at 9,000. Cheap fix but pain in the *** to replace.

My 2002 Night Train had 18,000 miles, never an issue. Just traded it for a 2012 Heritage, 0 miles. Only issue with that one is all this nasty winter weather that keeps me from riding.

The 1995 Nostalgia I just picked up has 20,500. I plan on adding a lot more...

'06 Heritage, 21000. Had the regulator fail and the ECM went out. I bought it at 14000 and the problems happened soon after. No issues after 8 months of riding since the fixes.

Just turned 29,000 on my 1996 FLSTN Nostalgia (EVO powered, bone stock). Carb was re-tuned when the V&H longshots were put on, but no performance improvements at all. My mechanic said that if the bottom seals on the cylinders don't 'seep' oil, you'll likely get over 100,000 miles out of em, no problem.
I have 18,000 miles on my 2008 CrossBones and I run that Twin Cam 96 pretty hard. It does have the SE Tuner and different pipes on it.
I have had WAY fewer problems with my Harleys than I did with my sportbikes ...kind of sounds backwards, eh? You wouldn't have heard that 20 years ago!

I am sure my reply will draw a few comments. I have an 06 Deluxe and the bike itself has has 4800 miles on it. The motor has about 2800 miles on it. The SE 6 speed tranny in it has about 2000 miles on it. My suspension has about 750 miles on it both front and back, progressive monotubes up front, Shotgun on the back.
