I'm guessing few bikes ever get that many miles in 10 plus years of ownership by any owner before either traded or they keep and they never get there.

That's interesting, I have not heard of any final drive problems on the Wetheads.
Seen a few rusty driveshafts where water got past the rubber boot.
