50,000 in 50 Months
Hi Riders,
I have 50,000 miles in 50 months on my 2009 Ultra. 85,000 miles total on 3 bikes since 2007.
I see threads about reliability of Harley s, on here, in that time I did the SE comp at 27,500 miles do to chatter starting out on steep grades here in the Smokies of western NC, and had the stator replaced under warranty because of a leak at plug going through front of crankcase and replaced right front wheel bearing at 45,000 miles, so has been a good ride! I'm 70 years old,type
2 diabetic, had a quad bypass in 1995, right hip replaced in 2005, left hip in 2009 and now have a knee acting up so might be about time to think about slowing down!
Tried to post pic of speedometer had 50,005 when drove into garage Sunday afternoon.

Good for you,
sounds like you have had more replacement parts than the good ole HD's.
Keep it up.
I just returned home this morning from getting my esohpogus and 1/2 my stomach removed from cancer, and certianly have another 20 years of riding in me....
Ride on.....

seat
Most of miles have been on stock seat with sheepskin cover, had a MCC mod done twice but just didn't work for me, tried a hammock, also wasn't for me,Seems what works best for me is stock seat with a Airhawk cushion under the full sheepskin
