How far can a Harley go?

Mine will go from gas station to station with no problems. Seriously, I expect to get well over 100k with maint kept up.
 
After being a member here and paying attention to the discussions on engine performance, I would have to conclude a few things to better your life span.
1. A proper air/fuel ratio, and usually running a little richer than the factory settings.
2. Use quality oils as always suggested.
3. Use HD sugested fuel octain ratings.

I guess the rest is, where and how you ride. I would like to hit at least 60K before opening up the top end or case, a 100k would be great.
 
I just sold my 1986 FXRS with over 200,000 miles on it. It still runs great. (I bought it new in '86...out the door for $8300.)
 
I had 110k on my 91 softail custom never had any real issues with it and never had the motor opened for any reason guy i sold it to still scooting around Boise on it . Got 26k on the 09 but it had it share of probloms already.
