I got to say, it's a lot more fun to read about all the problems some have with their Harley's.
My self, 7300 great miles on my 11 RK. Love this bike.

No problems here either…………….but then after you’ve been married for 35 years, you tend to learn put up with a little crap from now and again and not bitch about it. Nobody is listening anyway.

I figure that if all I have to complain about is a maintenance issue on a "toy"..... I am blessed.

None here either (knock on wood/head)... I have about 13K miles on my '10 Road King, got it new 13 months ago, and lovin' every minute I'm on it.

I've only changed/added a few items - nothing mechanical, and will probably keep it that way, except for maybe slip-ons... maybe... if I do, I will also remove the stupid cat.

Problems? No, other than I wrecked it after 6 months! But since I didn't have any problems (08 Ultra) I changed the rear sprocket to a 68 tooth, put in SE 255 cams, got rid of the SEPST tuner and incompetent dyno tuners and went with the Revolution Performance wide band tuner. Plan to change the front sprocket to a 31 tooth this winter and swap the compensator to a SE comp. But I don't have no problems!!!!!!!

(P.S. if I had never found this forum, I would probably still be riding a totally stock bike!!)

Good job!, 15,000 on the bike, sitting at home on short-term disability, 3 kids, enough in savings to make it a few years....oh but wait still can't ride because I can't move my damn foot! Drop foot from hip resurfacing 6 weeks ago. Going back to work in a week with a brace because thank god I can and hope for the best. I did go out with the brace 3 weeks ago for a 10 mile ride because there was no way I could sit all winter wondering if I was going to be able to ride, so I feel good about that. Way I look at it, is I'm not dying, I have a job, I have a healthy family, I am free (thanks to my servicemen, including myself), I'm not figthing in a war, I have a job, so roll with what ever punches God deals me and move on the best I can. See you on the road in spring for sure!!!
