Well, he said they don't build engines to last. My TC has seen a few cars come and go. Many on here still ride 30+ year old machines. People are still buying and riding bikes over 20 years old. I can't say I'd ever consider HD making something to earn a quick profit, they clearly build machines to last. That's what we'd argue about. I'm honestly interested in the OP's concerns or issues.

It has the potential, that's for sure. Best to have a bowl on reserve just in case it goes into extra innings !!

My guess is the OP has plenty of issues, but most of them don’t have anything to do with a motorcycle.
