Re:Year and milage 1 Year, 9 Months ago  
I have a 99 roadstar with 34000 miles...bike runs great, it has a sampson exhaust, baron bak, and ais removed. The clutch feels like it's starting to slip, getting ready to install a new after market pressure plate and clutch pack. Bike has always been serviced at dealer,

O5' bought out of the crate. 21k. Light bar broke. Fuel sending unit. Both covered by warranty. Very minor. Fuel pump is gone. No AIS. Runs like a dream. Pull the choke, push the starter, give it a couple minutes and GO. It's a bit personalized.

Re:Year and milage 1 Year, 9 Months ago  
My '05 R* bought in '06 with 2k on it. SVS on purchase corrected by stealer (glad I researched this site before buying)with Speedstar valve springs and reaming. Done a few mods to her and now at 64k on Motul synthetic and no problems, I am about to go the Ultra* route with Mutazu bags,Tsukayu GPS fairing, Freedoms duals. After that it's the warrior starter for me. My only sadness is that I am on my third drive belt , a product of the gravel strewn roads that i go down from time to time....

`06 Silverado, white, bought new with zero miles. Now has 33,500 miles and counting..... Completely stock, except a BARON 900 pound spring in the suspension. Replaced the regulator and battery this spring.

Otherwise, just the usual stuff replaced...... G.T.O. ( gas, tires, oil ).

She's a beauty..... and she runs like the wind!

2002 Midnight with 49,500 miles on her.

I've been averaging about 5K miles a year since purchase.

Installed HC pistons and hi-velocity heads last year.

Runs like a scalded cat!

My '99 has 150,039 kms (93,229 miles). Got it second hand so I've done less than half of those but nothing major for me. The bike owes me nothing and is still going great - it's sort of getting the way that I'm sort of hoping it dies so I can get a new one!
