My bike has 10K mile, got her w/8K. I bought a new 78 shovel, that was trouble from the start. This FLST is ´the bike´ I love her. She is fast, loud and heavy. No problems yet. I´ll keep her. Technology from 78 to 91 is clearly better. My bro has 2002 lowrider, I rode it and like my bike much better.
