I am ashamed to say my 01 Road King has just over 50k and runs great. Prior to switching to Amsoil I would lose about a quart between changes whereas now I do not lose any. I am looking at getting a cam job with gear drive in the near future. Here's hoping there are many more happy miles ahead for all of us, especially the ones that can't afford a new bike every other year.

I had 97K on my 92 before I did top end, then 154K before I had to get remanufactured engine. The bike is still on the road with second owner.

Congrats!! I will hit 100,000 by the end of summer on my 07 FXST. I hope she has as many trouble free miles on the way to 200,000 miles.
