Who has 40,000 miles on their Nomad

[flavor]

I'm wondering who has the most miles.

Include anyone you know as well.

Let's start with 40,000 miles or more.

Include in your response any mechanical issues besides normal maintenance.

Ive got about 53,500 on my 02 now. Other than tires Ive replaced the rear brake pads and a clutch spring so far. Thats pretty good in my books.

there was a guy that was at the eastern rally that had 212,000 on his he said he had to replace the drive shaft and clutch spring I think twice, and of course countless tires, but that bike is what made me a true one bike man this was and 03 same as mine if I can haft that I will be more then happy (just to have ridden that many miles) can't remember his name anyone that was there recall?

He was from GA, I do remember that. Quintin was his first name, can't recall his last name. Great guy though.

I would have if we hadn't gotten early snow this year, I'm 500 hundred miles short. All I've done is change oil and filter per recommended mileages, lube splines, couple sets of new tires, clean air filter, and change the hyponoid gear lube twice. (And rejoiced at having hydraulic valves at appropriate mileage intervals.)

Okay, my ignorance -- hyponoid gear??? ???

40K on my VN1800B, BTW, zero issues. Pretty sure it does not have a hyponoid gear, if so, don't think it ever got lubed.

you crack me up Ells ......hypoid....you know old people like dank can't type...hypoid oil in the rear gear casing.

I have 60,000 on our 2006. Had to replace the clutch spring at 38,000. At 52,000 I replaced the clutch push rod seal, did this one myself for less than $20. At 57,000 I had the drive shaft seal change out, I think that one cost $120 at a shop in Illinois. I, myself replaced the inner and outer spark plug tube O-Rings, for under $20. This one was my fault for taking the tubes out in the first place (wanted to see if my cam chain was rubbing on the tubes....NOT). I changed the rear brake pads 2X, about $35 each time. Oil changes every 3K, And lots of tires when necessary. To be honest, this bike runs as good now as it did when new...I love it!
