bigskyhd, I have a 1999 Road King but not that many miles. What have you done to the engine in the time you've had her? Also, when did you change out the cam tensioners and did you go to cam gears? Thanks!

Ya but if you maintained it yourself, there is a feeling if accomplishment at getting to that, that you do not get get by adding it all up.

My ride with the odometer clicking 100000
Congrats on the mile stone. Do the services yourself? Any design mods you fixed from the start?

Mine is a 2008 FLHT, that isn't really all that standard anymore. It's rapidly approaching 127,000 on the clock, and I bought it new in December of '08..It's been a good bike.

Great to see the 103 twin cams lasting over 100K. I have 115,000 on my 2013 with the hope of hitting 200K before I need to overhaul the engine top to bottom.

I have a 05, an 07, and a 09 with a total of about 185,000 on the three, but a pic of the first one to hit 100,000 is something i am sure going to do. If i live long enough that is.

Somebody's got to pass up "cacomly" over on the sportster forum. He got over 206K from his sporty. Would have gone higher, but admittedly killed his engine, when he dumped the little cardboard cap off an oil bottle, into his crankcase. Of course it found its way to the oil pump and destroyed the engine. Still rides the same bike, but with an ebay engine.

OP, I bought mine with 51K on it, but still hope I can see your milestone. There's something about high mileage vehicles. My car has 254k, my truck has 156k, and now the bike has almost 54k. We don't get rid of vehicles easily, unless they are junk.
