Just wondering what everyone's experience has been.

Thanks!

2010 Heritage,41,000 miles .new 10/1/10.@20Kmiles, new stator,regulator,and battery, inner primary brg/race. All the same replaced by dealer again @33,000 miles,except battery. 12,000 miles,dealer replaced gas cap(leaking) and compensator( engine was kicking back at "hot start). 27,000 miles,dealer replaced spedometer(it was fogging up,and messed up the face,and was hard to read.All this was under the 2 year warranty. Everything fine since. I just replaced the cams with Andrews 48H,and HD EZinstall pushrods & tubes, and new Torrington inner case bearings.

Miles on Softail

08 FB - 41,000 miles in 30 months riding across Vietnam.
Replaced all wheel bearings twice, but not necessarily HD fault (road and weather conditions were extreme)
