1999 RK Police. Bought it 4 years ago with 13k on it. Now has 56k. No major problems. I was warned about the Marelli FI system, but it has worked well. The bike had 12" apes on it, and V&H longshots; about the only mods when I got it. I've since put Reinhardt true duals on it, black saddlebag and engine crash guards, had the forks powdercoated black. And I just got it back from being painted Merlot Sunglo. It really looks nice now.
As far as mechanical work, other than the usual tires, batteries, oil changes, etc., I had the cam chest rebuilt about 6 months ago at about 44k. The tensioners were worn, and when we opened it up, the cams were shot too. Just used stock parts to replace.
I love the bike; I thought about selling it and buying a newer bike. But I rented a 2010 Road Glide in Vegas a couple months ago, and I really couldn't tell the difference ride-wise. Of course there were more bells and whistles, but my RK is perfect for the way I use it. I'll keep it til it drops, which hopefully won't be for a long while.

 

That's less than 250 miles per year. You're lucky the engine wasn't seized.


Can I ask? What did you have to pay for this garage queen?

 

2001 Ultra Classic (trunkless)

I got it with low miles in 09 (9,500) and now she has 20,000. Most of my mods are listed in my signature.

I had the stater go out, so I replaced it and the regulator. I also had the O-ring go out where the quick connect fuel line goes in the tank (what a PITA). Over all it's been a reliable bike, I like it better than my 2010 bike, it just is more personal and has more character to me.

 

just sold a 1997 Road King. 56K miles total. I had a deer strike with it in 2001, and rebuilt it. Mileage was 26K then. Hopped the engine to 1500 CC, ported and polished heads, Mikuni 42mm carb. Never let me down. Only problem it had at sale time was some slight oil weeping at the bottom of the rear jug.

 

2000 RKC. I bought it 2 seasons ago with 21,000 and it now has 40,000. I absolutely love this bike and have no plans on letting it go. Other than usual maintenance, at 30,000 mi. I replaced the cam shoe tensioners and the cams too (stayed oem). I had a stator go out too but I think that was my fault while trying unsuccesfully to add a second security key fob (digital guard dawg). Otherwise this has been a great bike. Oh, and the MM EFI is working just fine and is real easy to set idle when adjusting does become necessary. The bike came completely chromed out and all the accessories I could want but I did change slip-ons and add a dobeck TFI.

 

2002 Ultra with 34K. MY 7th Harley, 4th bagger, and the best one yet! I may have a new one someday, a CVO Ultra would be nice, but this one ain't going anywhere.

Thanks for all the information. I too love my 01 EGC...

 

I'm so glad to read such good reviews.

I have a 2002 Electra Glide Classic that I purchased 4 years ago with just under 30,000 miles. It now has 55,000 miles. It came with the 95" engine, Stage-1, Reinhardt TDs, & Dunlops.

The Harley heated grips were wimpy, so I installed Kuryiakyn heated grips & a Kuryiakyn "cruise assist," which I recommend. I've added chrome fork wind deflectors & gone through a couple of different windshields. While it had Reinhardt TDs on it, I added 2007 SE mufflers. I removed the air termperature gauge & replaced it with an oil temperature gauge. At 36,000, I replaced the cam tensioner shoe with an updated one.

The biggest handling upgrade was going to Michelin Commanders. Since installing, I've not experienced any of the touring "wobble." Great tires!

I had Paul at Quality Auto Interiors, Chico, CA, reshape my seat & add a gel pad. Marvelous!

Recent additions include the Harley LED headlight (great night light!) & Khrome Werks 2-1-2 exhaust header (Same as S&S's). I also added passenger "extended reach" floorboards, so my 4'9" lady-friend is even more comfortable.

That's all the good news.

My starter was "problematic" so I have a kit on it that allows me to push a plunger on the side & get the ol' gal to work. It took a couple of rebuilds to figure that out.

My ThunderMax w/AutoTune apparently stopped recognizing the 02 sensors, so carboned up my cylinders necessitating a top overhaul. That allowed me to have some headwork done approximating Jamie Long's "B" heads, the installation of Woods TW-555 cams, & the Woods/Harley hydraulic cam chain tensioner. The ThunderMax was "reset" per the instructions, & stopped working again, so it's going back to Zippers. I've pulled the O2 sensors & plugged the holes (temporarily) & reinstalled the Delphi & PC-3.

I was going to install the vented lowers, but the bill for the top OH killed that. So, for winter riding, I have the soft lowers - better than nothing!

I'm picking up my bike tomorrow & riding it a bit getting ready for Saturday's Toy Run - my annual "must ride" group ride.

I've considered trading it, but that's hard. It's paid for!

 

1999 Ultra with 93000 miles, 95 CI, Rinehart copy cats, SE A/C, I think it's been lowered, got some 2006 SG wheels for it.
Problems have been the fuel injectors, head gaskets, charging system, leaking front fork, tire rub, broken rear swing arm, the rear plaque came off on the tour pack. Other than that I think it's a great bike & love it.
