I´ve had my 2001 for 2 years now. The only thing I needed to do was change my oil. Very reliable bike. Check out the homepage link if you have any questions about the LC. I spent 5 days and 2000 miles in one shot in the spring. No complaints, rode like a dream. Strong out of the hole, and cruises like a Cadillac. Best kept secret in cruisers. BTW, I have 9,000 miles now, and no brake problems. Even the early ones will hold the brake pads as long as you add the "puck". Find all the fixes here... www.moccsplace.com
