My 1993 Trident has just clicked over 150k miles this morning - seems a bit of a red letter day.
I do 100 miles a day round trip commute - she's let me down twice - only once I wasn't able to fix at roadside.
I've replaced (excluding tyres, brake pads,chains,oils,filters and other consumables)
1.Coils - although I suspect the primary terminal connection was the culprit in one case - soldering these on has cured misfires completely since 90k.
2.Ignition stator pick up twice
3.L/H switchgear - she lives outside all year.
3a. A few hundred bulbs
4. Steering head bearings (at 100k and only because I thought I should)
5. More L/H fork seals than right (sidestand?)
6. Wheel bearings twice
7. All three disc rotors twice - second set got eaten by EBC HH pads ! (now use EBC organic and floaters by the way.
8. Headlight glass - cracked by gravel
9. Rearlight lens - melted with brake light stuck on
10. sidestand switch - corroded
11. Fork springs - wish I hadn't and will put originals back when I have time.
12. about 40 yards miscellaneous rotten wiring !
13. Sprag clutch - have hole in g/box tob so easy to do ! (replaced alternator bolt while in there.....
14. Battery - bought gel one off Ebay - german thing - excellent even at -10C
15. Throttle cable (should have oiled it)
16. various bits that fell off because of me not checking tightness
Apart from that she's original ! And it's quite simply the best bike I ever owned by a long way and I've owned a few that have not hacked the 100 mile a day business.......including 2 BMWs even....
Still looks quite nice too - and pulls like a train right up to 125mph (I only do this rarely)
I think I'll keep her until one of us dies.
