225K on '95 Ultra. Put 113ci in about three years ago and it is still going very strong.
Still have original 80 cube in a box for later cause it still is in good shape.
Now if I can just find a good FXR basket case I'll........
Thanks for the input. I have been curious if these bikes last that long.
You take care of the bike, she'll be good to you. Yes, they last that long and with routine maintenance should go a lot longer than 100k. Things do wear out tho. I've put 70k on one then got too good an offer on her to keep it.
I had 102,910 miles on my 2008 Anniversay Ultra Classic until June 25, 2013 (5yrs 3 months) when I got hit my a car while turning into a gas station. The bike was totaled, $18,000.
I now have 2000 miles on my new 2013 Anniversary Ultra Limited since July 24th.
Any of you guys with over 100k on the original build?
I just had a stage 1 on the Wide Glide until 120K when it barely failed a compression/leakdown test (was burning a little oil). Was still under extended warranty so the dealer upgraded to a 103" jugs and pistons and I paid for cams, a new drive belt and dyno tune.
The WG is out of warranty now, so I ride the Limited most of the time. It's at 42K, stage 2.
97,3xx on my '10 Ultra Limited - it'll click over 100k next week. Original build and engine is still purring, but tranny and primary both rebuilt and starter replaced due to failures.
Any of you guys with over 100k on the original build?
Yep all original. Stock 96" motor. Just the compensator replaced and the starter. That's it. Multiple sets of tires. On my second battery. 3rd set of brakes I think?
These bikes are incredibly reliable and run a LONG TIME if you maintain them.
My previous bike was an '05 EGC and had 92k on it but some moron totaled it rear-ending me on the freeway. I then bought this bike to replace it in Dec 2008.
144K+ on my 04 road glide. Engine built once, tranny replaced with baker OD 6, compensator and clutch replaced once, main wiring harness replaced once, multiple tires and other items (brakes, swingarm bearings, motor mounts, etc)
Have not replaced the belt, and it's due. I still ride it every week, just not as much as or as hard as before.
