It's not easy to come on here and be all lovey-dovey about how some people reply to posts or respond to posts always in a positive manner. Nothing I said in my original post was negative towards the OP. Sure it's a nice bike. I have a FLHX myself but if it was me I would have done some kind of research before dropping 25K on something then worrying about whether or not it's going to fall apart.

Yes, there are issues. This bike will cause you to lose interest in work, sex, eating and sleeping. Also, issues with bugs in your teeth from not being able to stop grinning. You will develop a serious case of depression anytime you are not on this bike. Your wife will leave you, and you won't notice. The battery will go dead on your cage from lack of use. You will wind up selling your children to the Russian mob in order to buy accessories for this bike. But - and here's the important part - it's all worth it.

Lol, that actually happen to me last week. Went to hop in the truck to pick up the kid after months of not cranking it and it was toast. I don't think I had put a tank of gas through it since I got the bike in May.
