Nice! I wanted to hit 100K on my '09 by this time (picked up 7/2009) but I'm only at 64,500.

Does this dispell the belief that the newer hotter running engines don't last as long? Timely oil changes is key?

I've got 55K on my 09 Ultra. Had to do a compensator change a month ago, but so far that's it. I too, change the oil between 3k and 5k. All 3 holes. Purrs like a room full of tom cats licking sweet cream!

Nice. These Twin Cams are great motors. Regular maintenance is the key.
