RE: Wore it out!

I'm turning 65K on mine this week, and it still runs great.&nbsp\\; I'm a fanatic about oil changes though, and I personally believe that's the key.&nbsp\\; HDMOCO20-50 from day 1 with Redline Heavy Shockproof in the gears.

Luv to see high mileage bikes. No "planned obsolescence"

with HD bikes. My RK has 75,000 miles. If you want longevity, don't f**k with the motor.
