15k for steel. About half that for most aluminum

As for the Harley rider, it was likely that this bike is more a trophy of "I have a bike" for when he has company over to the house, they honker around the bike and talk lol. The average seems to be about 15,000 but if well cared for maybe 20,000 as the exception more so than the rule.

Get Pazzos, they are cheaper than CRG but still very good. Make sure you get the shorties.....I don't understand peeps who get the long ones.

Anyway it seems like people really like pazzos...gonna have to check them out. Also how long roughly are a chain and sprockets supposed to last. Some harley guy I met last night asked me why I already needed a new chain and sprockets on an 05 bike?
That would be me

I got 17,500 or so out of my stock chain and sprockets. Replaced with the same or better quality steel sprockets, you should get the same- depending on maintenance, of course.

As for Harleys most of them travel farther on a trailer or under a service tech than anything. My bike is an '07 with close to 20,000 miles- all of which I put on and did my own maintenance. Buy your own tools, and if you stay in the sport long enough, you save tons of money and help a lot of people.
