Highest mileage on a TC96?
I am about to hit the buy-it-now button on an 02IED for my 08 UC. I am afraid of the heat and high AFR. I can take the heat on my legs since its cool most of my riding season, but I am afraid of having my (expensive) oil cooked at the first long stoplight and unsure about engine longevity. Can I expect to get 100,000 miles out of my bone-stock 2008 UC (assuming normal maintenance and reasonable riding)?
Don't want to get into whether the IED will work. I have read (some of) that thread (OMG what a spastic thread it turned into!). I am also going to get an oil cooler in the spring.
I figure between the IED and the oil cooler I should be OK. But still, is this motor gonna last or should I be thinking of only keeping this bike for 2 or 3 years?
So, who has a lot of miles on a TC96?

I would like to know, too. Also, I've added true duals, fuelpak, and SE a/c. Bike seems to run much cooler. Does it reason out that a cooler bike will last run longer before major work needs to be done?

I am about to turn 40K. Is that high? Not riding as much as I did when I was younger, also harder to put on miles in central PA, more back roads that freeway. Bike runs great but I have a ThunderMax.
