Thats a bummer Mike - me and Mel put 17,000 miles on our two SERK's for the USA trip with no problemo's at all.
Were we lucky 
??

Possibly luck or more possibly better wrenching, Nige. My problems were basically electrical - new voltage regulator after mine failed. The other bike problems were related to former service poorly done that had to be corrected on the road for the most part.
I have made many trips of several thousand miles each on my RK & my SEULTRA with not one bike problem.
Siting around a variety of HD service bays was not my idea of fun, even though the Milwaukee shops all had vendors & overpriced crappy beer nearby. Will not leave a fellow rider stranded.
Drank more than a few beers last night with a few friends at the local biker watering hole by the lake - absolutely gorgeous sunset.
