Still had some life left (maybe another few thousand miles) in the shoes, but I'd say that 60,000mi. is the safe upper limit in the life of those spring-type cam chain shoes. Somebody has to establish the upper limits of this stock gear for the good of all. ::) har! :drink: spyder

Damn I only have 17k on mine with the new motor at 6k. I guess I have tooo many bikes to ride and toooo many other things going on in my life.
Spy I am with you. Everytime I get on Ole Punkin I love her like she is a new bike.

I have 13,650 Miles when I signed my 2 bikes over to my international shiping company as I moved my Family from the United States to Adelaide South Australia.
My container just arrived yesterday and I should have my hands on both my bikes by next Friday the 24th 2009. Next stop is to make it road compliant and get plates and nstart riding in this awesome no fall or winter weather.

Hello folks!
I havent been on the site in a while....trying to work out in my head whether to trade in my Cherry SEEG for a new 09 SEUC.
I was just turning over 22k miles while riding on a crisp and clear day in Jan. '09, when I was given the 'gift' of a crushed left leg and foot when meeting an oncoming wayward wheel assembly. I call it a gift, because I am thankful those were my only injuries!!!! :orange: :mango: :apple:
It has been 3 months, and hope to be back on two wheels within 2 months!
At this point I am leaning toward keeping my '05, and hope to meet a lot of you at the GTG here (Eureka Springs,AR) in May! I may not get to ride (unless I can find a trike for rent! lol), but I hope to participate where I can! I think you will like the riding here in our rolling hill country! :)

44,000 doing the cams right now... good thing, didn't have very much to go on those. should get it back this week. lots of smiles with every mile!

I have three Harley's so have not had time to put that many miles on each one but my 04 FLHTCSE has 8,700

29k

Just turned over 12,000 on my :cherry: Friday. Had 8,000 on her when I bought it in March. 4,000 in 10 weeks, not to bad.

45,000mile Just put in gear drive cams!!

31,000 on my 05 and loving every minute of it.. :cucumber:
-
Just turned 18000 on my way home from Sturgis....
-
Just turned 30k on mine on the way back from Sturgis. Still running great have made no motor repairs . After reading all the issues with the 110's I feel blessed.
People still stop and look at the Huckleberry or Blk and Blue.
I am biased but it is much better than the 2010 SESG
1. Chrome mags
2. lower fairings included
3. much prettier paint
4. color matched inner fairing
I know a lot is misssin .. a six speed, six gallon tank, and ABS but is still a great, reliable bike with a solid engine

34,400. Only about 2,000 so far this year. My boy turns 2 in November. Priorities change when you have kids. I look forward to the day my boy and I can hop on the SEEG and cruise! :huepfenjump3:

had 9K when I bought it last Sept., just rolled over 14K yesterday. I finally broke down and bought an HD air pump for the shocks, what a difference correct air pressure does for the ride. :coolblue:

Nope, kept the same ole cam. Runs just fine for me and it looked good so saw no reason to change. Of course changed all bearings in the process. ;) spyder

31500 not one problem.

Yes I stopped 1 KM down the road................

26,000 and climbing. Changed to 257 cams and did upgrade on tensioners at
24,000 miles. Love the sound with more lope to the engine and the added
horsepower is a plus also. Runs real good!!!

100000 kilometers....a little over 62,000 miles. That's riding. :2vrolijk_21:
My 04 SEEG has 57,333 miles. Put about 230 of those miles on today after putting 4,000 on my new SE Street Glide.
Some of you guys need to roll em out of the barn, knock some of the dust off of em and go for a ride.....see the country. :2vrolijk_21: They're an expensive bike. They're a really expensive luxury when they just sit in the barn and collect dust.

They're not "high" miles till they get up over 125,000. I've saw more than a couple Evo's go 100K plus without any major motor work. I'm thinkin the average twin cam with regular oil changes should bump 125,000. :nixweiss:
Hell, mines not even to half life and it still has a year and a half on the extended warranty. No smoke, runs strong.....it's all good! :2vrolijk_21:

Just turned 45k on mine coming back from Daytona.
-
38,000, all new on the right side, thats what hit when the cager pulled out without looking, front fairing,tour pac, saddle bag, floor boards, lower fairing, brake pedal,and fuel tank, added new monster ovals, had to replace the pipes anyway. I healed faster than the bike, (X2 fractures right ankle), still waiting for the tank, I did pop for a new FLHX, loved the denim black,(another srory) to ride till the nanner is getting the make over. I guess the milage won't accumulate as fast now.

Hi Spyder ::). I just rode for the first time last weekend, that's when I put on the 400 miles. Back felt good but trip was only 135 miles in each direction. We rode over to eastern Ohio and visited Amish country. We stayed two nights in a hotel and put some miles on the scoot riding around the country. :apple:

No doubt you got one of the 'good ones' and took care of it & rode it correctly to put that many miles on the stock configuration. Just proves that they could be capable of doing that.....may have set the record. Congrats and ride on. :2vrolijk_21:. spyder

On the 4th iteration of rear suspension.
Went from the stock air shocks to Progressive 440's. They were ok but I didn't care for the stop bump that you get with those. But, those shocks alone are what kept me from selling a 1 month old bike.
Trying something different and trying to improve the ride I then went to Bitubo's in the rear the the hype of the traxxion fronts.
Both are good, but I think both are over priced for what they are. The Traxxion's did eliminate the sharp bump going into my driveway which was a nice benefit.
Got tired of the multitude of adjustments the Bitubo's required when changing ride, eg. 1 up no tourpak to 2 up tourpak and packed for travel.
So I installed the Arnott air shocks. They were OK, but they just didn't cut it for my weight. They seem best for riders that are 225 plus.
I am back to the Bitubo's now. Probably would have put the Progressives back on, but they are holding the rear of a Red SEEG on the Outer Banks.
Also have tried two different frame stiffeners (the gadget that bolts to the lower frame and ties the engine in). Don't think they really work either.
And I have tried a seat or two................

'Rode my Bud's '06 CUSE without / with one of the "stiffeners" 'wasn't really impressed either time. 'Was really impressed with the GlidePros on both the '05 & '09, along with improved handling, the GlidePros made both bikes much smoother in the seat, bars and fairing.

Ain't that the truth... started working at FD w/a 38" waist... got all the way up to 46" now back to 40". Good cooks and plenty of food at FD will put weight on you real quick if you aren't careful.

Our first ride was on a 74 Sportster :o But that was back in the late 70's, and we were a bit younger then, and had different reasons for riding 8)
That and for her it was prior to 5 surgeries, neck and back.

You must be a bit younger :nixweiss:
Keeping semi on thread post hear, have over 60K on this bike now and I have been through 5-6 seats. For my skinny butt I really have not found the ideal. Currently switch between a semi custom Saddleman solo, HD Sun Ray touring, stock, and Corbin Gunfighter.
In terms of comfort, the Corbin Gunfighter is the worse seat I have ever had, but I like the way it looks for solo short rides.
The Saddleman is for solo trips, but I use an Airhawk cushion. Stock - hardly ever.
Most of the time it is the HD Sunray, good balance between comfort (for her) and looks, plus it is heated.
I also use a HD two up touring, not sure which one, but it is quite padded on the passenger end, so that is a good choice for her when heat is not needed. But, it is a bit fugly due to the size.
Also have a Corbin heated dual tour, with about 1" extra foam. But that is just too stiff for either of us.

'Rode my Bud's '06 CUSE without / with one of the "stiffeners" 'wasn't really impressed either time. 'Was really impressed with the GlidePros on both the '05 & '09, along with improved handling, the GlidePros made both bikes much smoother in the seat, bars and fairing.
Glide Pros are about the only thing I have not tried. I do have whatever the other polymer bushings are though, and I change out the swing arm bushings about every 20K or so.
Rear steer is no where near as bad as it use to be, but I still get a good wobble once in awhile, and a death wobble at least once a year.
Thanks for the honest feedback on the Traxxion/Bitubo's, 'Was considering them on the '09 SERG, but 'am very happy with the H-D Premium stuff.
Definitely no reason to spend $2000+ if you are happy with what came on the bike. Haven't tried it, but there are less expensive alternatives for the front end then the $1300 traxxion.
I'm done trying to make the bike ride better or be more comfortable with the exception of "maybe" trying a Mustang seat.
Just can't see dumping anymore money into it.
And thanks to our pols, my take home income has been a steady decline for the last 3-4 years, so a new bike is out of the question (which is why I refuse to ride anything newer then an 08)

good idea Duane,,,, i made that mistake once,,, i am paying for it constantly., :o :'(

150,000 Kilometers (94,000 miles) and all sitting on the stock seat :cherry:
That's amazing mileage, considering you're on an island!
http://www.vancouverisland.travel/regions/map-of-vancouver-island/
You must take many trips to the mainland, or know the island like the back of your hand.
Way to go! Glad to see your baby has never let you down.
I'm still up in the air whether or not I should sell my '05 SEEG with only 77,000 on the dial... Since I got my '08 Duracell I don't ride the SEEG all that much, and I have been recently offered $19,000 for my beloved '05.
Hmmm, decisions, decisions... Should I or shouldn't I?
Keep on riding BT and I wish you many, many more trouble free enjoyable miles. :2vrolijk_21:

48,000 on my 04. Had the cam chain done at 37,000 good thing I had it checked, it was almost worn thru. Other than a fuel injector gone bad it still runs like new. Great Motor. :2vrolijk_21:
-
47K wonderful miles. Still love this bike and it represents all that is good. :bananarock:
-
It's hard to beat the original SE/CVO Electra Glides for style!
A keeper for sure!

yeah, 90K and counting. Wonder how many SEEG's will be counted at MV'14 next month? har! spyder

You know I'll be there my friend, but as much as I hate to say it, I'll be trailering mine for the first time ever. The old lady is coming this year and she won't ride that distance!
-
At least the SEEG's coming, and if your better half can't ride, that's a good e'nuff reason for the trailer. Every year I think it'll be my last since I don't own a trailer either.....I think my SEEG's gonna outlast me. har! spyder

There will be at least two more huckleberries coming that I know of.

I think he should call it Lannie after the banjo player in Deliverence.

Spider and Numbnuts JR (AKA Hogasm)
My bike is already named, Her name is Betsy. And I did that before I knew Numbnuts JR huckleberry was named Bessy.
And spider, spider spider, she has always been rodded up at least since after the first 3 weeks or 3000 miles.

Numbnuts :confused5: I thought I was the "Trust Fund Baby"
I don't remember a Betsy as one of the mountain men that raped one of the rafters.....but after meeting a few true mountain men, I do see how a true mountain man could rape another man and want to be called Betsy as to make it alright :nervous:

And what's up with the sudden fascination with Deliverance? Did you run out of chit to watch down there with Reo, or have you all been in some of Unc's Berry Juice?
-
Reo left yesterday and made it to Knoxville. He took the southern route to stay away from the rain in Va.
Fascination with the movie is it was the 4 year olds birthday Tuesday. He was given a guitar and the tune I taught him was the beginning of dueling banjos. His mother mentioned Deliverance which made me look back into the movie.

Yea she knows....actually laughs about how he has taken to me. I am not a kid person, but Gavin is different. At 4 this kid can ride a 4wheeler surprisingly well. I gave him a motorcycle helmet for his 3rd birthday.
Gavin and Jade are two peas in a pod. They both come when called....sometimes Gavin tries to ride Jade like a horse :huepfenlol2:
Gavin will come over when the garage door is open and sit in the chair and just watch me work on bikes. I try to explain what I am doing so he will not ask so many questions. He has a great memory, he will get all the necessary items I will need if I mention changing the oil.
Great thing when they are not yours....you can send them home at any time, spoiled of course :2vrolijk_21:
