I think if i can get 150k-200k i will have gotten my money's worth out of my 07...I probably can pick up a 96" or a 103" somewhere and fix it up and just swap it when this one takes a **** on me...might even put a little headwork, cams and other amenities...Other stuff to worry about before that time comes...Forks, swingarms, brakes, other misc.crap...

 

i just bought an 03 ultra with 72, 000 , and its running good, it was a one owner bike, and i got lucky and met the old owner

 

95K on my '03 EGC. Regular oil/oil filter changes at 5K miles. Runnin Mobil 1 syn in the engine and Amsoil Severe Gear in the tranny. Tranny oil gets changed at 30k intervals. Just rode from Tucson to Vegas last week...runs like a champ! Same here (as mentioned above) ...2nd owner and I knew the 1st owner. Bought it with 10K miles....the last 85K are all mine )

 

I traded today and bought an 09 Electraglide Classic with 34,xxx miles.
Thanks for all of the replies, I appreciate the help.

 

Congrats, sharp scoot.

I rented the exact same color Ultra in early 09 from a local dealer, and was impressed with its many attributes except in true stock form it couldn't get out of it's own way.

@ EG's later I have figured out how to wake them up.

Enjoy

 

i have an 04, road king that i converted into a road glide, with 144K on the clock. 1 engine build from 88 to 95 and 1 transmission replacement from stock 5 to Baker 6. No worries, would ride it anywhere, i expect to get at least 250K out of the bike before i retire it from service. suspect i will need to replace a few more things but they are built to ride

 

New on November 28, 2012 clicked over the 30,000 mark on the clock today.

 

Hard to say of course, because maintenance is KEY here. As said above, a bike that's been ridden hard is high mileage at 10k vs a long distance commuter may have 75k on it and be in better mechanical shape if it was religiously maintained.

 

Nice bike! 35,000 mi is decent; not really low or really high. I bought my 2010 EG this spring with 11,500 mi on it and I considered it low mileage.

While I agree that maintenance is important, most components have a life span and unless maintenance has been totally neglected and the bike stored outside, low mileage rules in terms of buying a used bike.

my 2 cents,
Dave

 

My 05 Ultra has 84,--- on it and it runs like top. I change the oil every 3,000 or close to it. I will ride it till it quits, dealer offered me 8,000 trade in, but couldn't make myself write the check...mine is paid for and that is good feeling...LOL
