How Many Miles / Kilometers Does Your Softail Have?

Hi All,

Just wondering how many miles/kilometers everyone has managed to get out of their Softail so far and if there have been any serious mechanical problems along the way.

This guy here seems to think they're the worst bike ever: http://www.jamesrussellpublishing.bi...buyharley.html

Just wondering what everyone's experience has been.

Thanks!

25,000 on a Heritage and 10,000 on a Deluxe -- no major issues with either. SJ Ron

I tried this about a year ago, I asked how many BONE STOCK Harleys are out there and how many miles. Didn't get any response. Reason being, with the EPA regs on the new ones and how hot they run, most people modifiy if for no other reason then to cool them down. Curious about their longevity if left alone?
