Only 450 miles on my FLHXS but nothing yet. Runs like a dream. can't wait to put 50 more miles on it so I can ride it hard guilt free.

Around 3300 miles, sheered off a head bolt somehow (front cylinder)- replaced head under warranty. So far so good other than that.

The only failure has been mine. Failure to ride more (although I share that failure with Mother Nature).

650 miles and the only problem is the insert on the tank keeps popping up in various areas.
