I can't be the only person with more than 50k miles..
I should list what went blewwieee... unfortunately, I think a lot of it is due to treating the poor thing like a dirt bike.
Probably related to dirt bike treatment..
busted rear gas tank mount
busted rear fender (where the license plate bracket mounts).. x 2
(part caused by having that heavy helmet lock thing behind the license plate)
busted headlight shell
busted muffler mount
front wheel bearing
front fork seal leak, fixed just by cleaning the tubes & replacing oil
Things possibly not related..
Blew the baffles out of 2 HD mufflers.
Headlight rattle
Speedo rattle
shifted to raptor petcock (gas starve at highway speed)
minor oil leak where clutch arm enters case (on list of things to fix)
verslavy put in at about 12k miles.. cover not opened since.
Big Crank battery.. got tired of adding water
many tires, many oil changes, a couple air filters, iridium spark plug just because.
Other things, but they are cosmetic, safety or comfort related.. or I forgot. Not important to this discussion.
