RE: Life Span of Harley Engines
My brothers shovel was hopped up and he had told me he only got about 40k out of it. I guess a stock shovel could get more. Tim

My 93FLH had a tope end rebuild at 50k. Currently it has 73k on it, and in the last 3000 miles (since I have had it), it hasn't burned but MAYBE 1/3 of a quart of oil. No leaks, no problems, and gets 40 mpg consistently.

Just curious, what kind of value did you get for a bike with 189,000 miles on it?
