54k miles on mine. Religiously serviced every 5k miles.
Never have had an issue with wheel bearings, Still on the stock ones.
Here is the list of my major repairs in no particular order.
Comp Sprocket, Stator, Main bearing, race and mainshaft replaced at 50k. The bearing and race tore up the shaft. Likely due to Comp sprocket going out.
Shift Shaft seal leak at about 30k
Base gasket leaks at 35k. Upgraded to 103 at the time of this repair.
Just had the infamous limp mode problem with codes. Repairs done to Throttle actuator.
TBW went out at around 15k. I now have 12 inch bars and TBW is the 1 piece style. No plug in the bars.
At least 4 starter motors. Likely due to comp sprocket issues.

Well it sounds like IF I keep it long enough I may have to replace the compensator. That and the FBW seem to be the most common things. I have mine for sale right now, we'll see what happens. Bad time to sell I bike I think...
I personally myself am pretty frustrated. I have owned a lot of bikes in my days and never had any of them in for issues as often as I have had this bike in.

bought mine with 42K....now has 68K.....warranty replaced: rear brake switch (twice), rear head and valves/guides, etc, compensator, primary bearings, stator/plug, front wheel bearings (twice), starter. Could be a few other things I forgot....but have all the paper work. A PILE OF IT. For awhile, the Harley shop was washing my bike more than me.
The ABS quit working...and I was told they fixed it by repairing a wire. It doesn't work anymore...again. Previous owner had allot done to it also.....Dealer printed out his receipts AFTER I bought the bike...(front wheel bearings, clutch....)
