I started ridin Harleys in '89 on a new '88 FXRT after riding tons of jap iron goin back to a Sears Alstate about 1960. Of the 5 new HDs I've owned I've had to put stators in 3 of em. (One of the Electra Glides, I only owned one for about 6 months so maybe its not really fair to include it in the count.) So 75% of the big twins I've had to put stators in. Doesn't that seem kinda high? The Triglide I own now just turned over 35,000 miles and had to have its first replacement stator. None of my other EG stayed with me long enough to exceed 35,000 miles but they all needed stators along the way. Have you guys run into this problem or do your stators last longer than that? Each time I replaced one I put in a Cycle Electric, usually intending to keep the bike, I just made it better for the next guy. It's not like I have money to burn!
