here is my other Harley at 200, just so you know it can be done.. far as I know it is still going, sold it at 217k miles to someone who didn't have alot of money and was despearate for a Harley.and a Harley at that...
Just my $0.02
It is a good start.
That sits in a -96 or -97 BMW R1100RT. Not mine but of an elderly guy I know....In what sorta machine does that dash cluster reside?.

I used that too, but it disappeared from the shelves at walliemartI used to use NAPA 15w50 in my past H-D until the cost crept up. Then switched to M1 15w50 by the jug.
I’ve got 60k+ on my 2008 ElectraGlide, I’d have 160k+ if I was independently wealthy160,000 miles on a motorcycle?
Very typical on a air cooled V twin. Front gets more cooling.From the looks of the rear piston I would say that cylinder was running hotter than the front.
It absolutely can be done. I rode my cousin's Evo dresser at 249,000 miles, he only ran Rotella oil and HD filters, and I doubt if the engine ever saw 4,000 rpm. He changed oil and filter ahead of schedule, spark plugs on schedule, and tires as needed, as far as I know, no other maintenance or repair. He got it past 260,000 before he pulled it apart to repair a broken pawl spring.here is my other Harley at 200, just so you know it can be done.. far as I know it is still going, sold it at 217k miles to someone who didn't have alot of money and was despearate for a Harley.

It always does. IIRC Amsoil testing shows the rear cylinder runs around 50*F hotter?From the looks of the rear piston I would say that cylinder was running hotter than the front.
I'm independent of wealth, so I just fix the stuff myself and keep on riding.. one of the keys to accumulating high mileage on a motorcycle is where it is your only means of transportation.I’ve got 60k+ on my 2008 ElectraGlide, I’d have 160k+ if I was independently wealthy
