Most of the time if an ECM fails it is self infected. Same with BCM.
If you think the 2010 is something. Check out a 2020 plus with RDRS.
I got back and forth from my 1996 EVO to the 2020 RGL. Like both of them. But no way on this earth you can compare the two.

It does seem heavier or more imbalanced. My concern is all these extra crap is making them heavier. Add 20 things a pound each and you got extra 20 pounds. I still enjoy my 2007, and I am dumping money in it. But they are all different bikes. But you have to be honest the ride improvement in newer bikes/not worn out. I don't run like I did 20 years ago either. Old guys have trouble admitting that.

If my 2023 Tucson suddenly stops running on the road I am toast. Unless its a flat tire I am going on the hook of a wrecker.
Years ago I was comfortable working under the hood of my V-8 muscle cars.......I could fix them.
If I were riding one of the newer bikes with fuel injection and the maze of electronics I would never travel very far from help.
I envy you guys riding the newer bikes because most of you have the knowledge and ability to diagnose and fix them.

I don't think anyone is trying to change anyone's mind here. Run whatcha want. Some like carbs, some like EFI, some are comfortable either way. Bikes were delivered one way or the other, you do you. You're the only one who can!

I've never heard of a bike with that kind of mileage!
Have those been mostly trouble free miles?

The only other person I knew who had a documented 500,000 miles on a ElectraGlide had the engine replaced because of cam and lifters. The tranny and primary cases were the only drive train items not replaced. But he did have 150,000 on the original engine before any issues occurred.
