Man, not the reliability myth again. Harley's are more reliable than a lot of metric bikes these days, due to self-adjusting valves that many metrics lack. Harley hasn't had reliability issues for 20 years now, but I see the myth still persists.

I guess that why my co-worker's 2000 Road King sprang a major oil leak around the rocker box covers after a year or so? But I guess that's not a reliability issue, just a messy inconvenience.

Self-adjusting valves are not a reliability issue, either, but a maintenance issue. My bike needs it done every 15,000 miles, which is more than most people put on their bikes in 3 or 5 years. In the meantime it puts out 100 reliable, quiet, smooth, leak-free HP. And you don't have to tighten every bolt on the bike weekly to keep things from falling off.
