2010 FLHTK, bought new 11/22/2009, just shy of 42,000 miles.
Replaced or repaired under warranty:

- 2 wheels (chrome flaking)
- H-K stereo
- compensator (replaced with S/E)

- whole top end of of engine "worked loose"
And it'll be going back in soon for a leaking stator plug.

01 Ultra bought Nov. 07 with 4995 miles. Just rolled 40000 and other than a lifter going bad at 13000 no other problems. Added gear drive cams when replacing lifters and only other issue was a PCIII taking out ECM fuse.

I'm not nearly as high up as these guys; but I took delivery of my '09 Ultra in July of '09 and have about 27k on her; not one issue. No real mods though; just slip ons/stage one DL and AC

I ride 30k-40K a year.
4 TC's and one Sporty in last 12 years.
A few minor issues with each one, except a TC88 on a 05 RK that grenaded at 50K miles due to an out of round crank.
Engine was re-manufactured under extended warranty for $50.

New to me Auqust 2007 at 23,900 miles. Just turned 93,000 miles last week.
After 2 stator failures, replaced charging system with Compu Fire 3 Phase and no more problems with stators.
At 67,000 miles, drove home from Myrtle Beach with a small crack in the Y Pipe. (didn't know it.) Next morning hung an exhaust valve on startup which tapped the piston. Replaced both heads with clean take offs and got a new exhaust.
81,000 New Gear Drive cams.
Nothing to complain about, my Daily Rider.
