I have a 1995 Honda shadow 1100 ace. Only got to take a short ride around the block last year. Drained the old gas out yesterday but she's having a hard time staying running.... May have to clean the carbs. I have only put 1000m miles on her in 2 years. I hope to change that this year :)



My dad rides a 2005 HD ultra classic with 98k on it. That bike has seen every state but Hawaii and alaska.

You need to ride that thing more, I'll almost guarantee you the carbs are gummed up from sitting, and they are a PITA to get off and clean on those bikes.

@fieldgrade I Loooooooooove that bike. Heres why:DSCN0850.JPG DSCN0855.JPG
1985 FXRP.
Ain't no show bike. Rust here and there, lots of tarnished aluminum, many miles as you can see and never rebuilt.
But it's still clickin' em off. And yesterday it was getting 52+ MPG! Two-up. No lie.
Have modded it a lil.
S&S "E"
Andrews "B" grind cam
Dyna 2000 ignition module
Khromewerks stepped headpipes and cheap slip-ons poked out a little. It is not loud compared to some.
I can sneak in and out of the hood almost undetectable.
Had it since '98. Don't do a lot of riding, 2500-3000 a year maybe.

Nice. 89k wow.
I'm guessing by your screen name you own a Ford Lightning, too?

Uh huh.
You still have that Low Glide?

The pic I posted was taken the day I sold it in June 1989. I bought it new in 1985 for $7400 when the MSRP was $8400

I have an SVT vehicle though. '04 Cobra

Awesome.

I wish the 'RP had the stance like the low glide. Mine is way tall for a hog. But it leans further. Further than I tend to push it.
Not that harleys were ever meant for that sort of thing ;)

fired up one of my Buell bikes for the first time in a couple of years...wow, what a feeling, what a nice sound to my ears too!
 
I need an oil change
I need an inspection
Get new tags on it.
I want to ride to work a few times before the year is up
I think kids' heads would explode.

Good luck with that!
Dang pollen is worse than Sheetrock sanding dust. It "will" find its way into every nook and cranny!

One thing Harley riders can thank Indian and Victory for is forcing Harley to produce bigger motors for production and increase the base motor size.
there was not a 114 option for the Fat Bob 5 years ago. Biggest was maybe a 103.
 
And before that was this '82 Nighthawk I bought new and rode for 5 years and loved every minute.
All I ever did to it was change oil, spark plugs, air filter and rear tires. Probly 6 or 7 rears and 1 front!CCF04042018_00034.jpg
Think it had 46-47K on it when I sold it. Buyer totaled it within 2 weeks.
It is a miracle I did not die on this bike and was in my best interest to get it gone.

The biggest was the 103, it was standard in all bikes except cvo models from ~2011-2017 when they released the Milwaukee 8 engine. In the 2018 models you can get a 107,114 or 117 in some of the cvo models.

And the 103 came as a readily is the Victory 106. Before that the base on most of the cruisers was 88 or 92, I think.
