Dave, you and got our street glides at just about the same time. Crazy thing is i went 16,000 miles with zero issues and then 3 motors in 2 months. A complete head scratcher that no one can come up with a good answer for. Rep thinks I stated riding more aggressively which is simply not true. Of course I told him if I was riding crazy aggressively as in abusive as he was suggesting there would be obvious signs of that.
Maybe you switching bikes when you did you dodged a bullet? I guess that doesn’t really make sense either since I have been reading same stories of the 18’s.
Whatever is going on with these M8’s, not good!
I fully agree. Way to many have summed. Never had an issue with the 17, and put 21K on it. I ride it hard, but do not abuse it. My bikes draw top dollar at a year or two old with high miles. I doubt you ride banging on your rev limiter. I know I ride 2500 to 4000 rpm most the time, and higher some times. 300 miles is a day ride in the twisties, and I run the curves fairly hard. I have also done long days at 80 mph on the interstate.
The new 18 CVO RG, I did a SS1000 in 16 hours, took a nap and finished the BB1500 in 33 hours. Cruise at 80 mph the whole time. Ran home from Daytona a bit over 600 miles all two lane, lots twisty mountain roads. No issue.
That said I worry it will sump. Main reason I have not done a 124 kit on it. I do have a complete fullsac exhaust, TTS tuner and a good dyno tune.
It really sucks the issues you have had Alan. So the screen name was just a one day change?
