Default Road King 81 K Miles.
Came across a Road King on Illinois Craigslist with 81 K on the clock. For those with 25 K who think their bikes are getting worn out. Nice to see one go a long way. Just a thought. Roy

I've got 84K and for some reason it rides like it is new. Stopped worrying about it a long time ago.

LOVE hearing that! I'm putting about 15,000 miles a year on mine so it's good to hear that I have a lot of years left!

60K on mine and she's smoooooth.
I am replacing simple stuff though. Muffler hanger bushings, Tourpak gasket, handlebar dampers, front engine mount, ...........and brake rotors.
