Re:Year and milage 1 Year, 8 Months ago  
Hey! Mine is a 2008 RoadStar Silverado, fuel injection, gray color, mostly stock with rear luggage rack, Big Bar, just normal stuff. I bought it at the end of the 2008 model year, and have about 11,300 miles on it as of 7 Sep '10. No problems so far. I do most of my own "maintenance," such as it is. I use Mobil One 20W50 VTwin oil and Wally Mart filter, both of which I change at around 3,500 miles (too often, I know, but better safe than sorry). I live in the southern mountains of New Mexico above 7,000 feet, and the FI works fine up here with only a few "bumps" from time to time. Mileage averages about 43-47 MPG, and I use a little Marvel Mystery Oil and/or SeaFoam in the gas from time to time - it just sounds better that way. One tire change from stock to Metzlers (880s, I think?) The stock seat is not the best for this old guy with arthritis, but then I need something to complain about. So far, so good . . . . .
