No problems here either.  How many accessories are you running?

I have a buddy who lost a stator last year and the HD shop told him it was a know problem with the 02 dressers.  It was a wiring issue at the factory.  Not sure about the RK.

I had a problem with mine on the 04 SEEG at about 15,000 and there are many bits about this problem on this site. I searched for the last few minutes and could not find it but someone posted a new TB about a washer and new torque specs. My problem was (as much as I can now diagnose) a problem wherein there was no locktite from the factory. [smiley=nervous.gif] This was compounded when I put in the six shooter, I said go ahead and put in the chrome inner primary - it was then that they removed the stator and then re-installed it, with no locktite and torqued to (suposedly [smiley=nixweiss.gif]) 150 pounds.
Like I said, there is a new TB using a washer of some sort and new torque settings, TwoLane, where are ya!  [smiley=curtain.gif]
Oh yeah, Get the Big A$$ bucket of locktite! [smiley=xyxthumbs.gif] [smiley=huepfenjump3.gif]

Hmmm, I recently had chrome inner primary installed on my bike, wonder if they referred to this new service bulletin?  [smiley=nixweiss.gif]

The folks at Northwoods HD in Gaylord,MI said that they seen a few failures due to Rotors, but that mine was fine, so go figure [smiley=nixweiss.gif]  2000-2002 was a problem but nothing from the MoCo.....so I guess that's the price of riding [smiley=confused5.gif]
Just got back from 2300 miles, down to Nashville,TN to ride the 'Natchez Trace'...what an Awesome trip all 450 miles, even in the rain. rode the interstate back, glad I didn't go to Sturgis, I heard it was 114 in RC on Tuesday.....
