Can't say I put em all on myself, but it sure is a testiment to the bike!  Still runs great, and very reiable.   I know a few other posts have already done this, but what milage does your bike have?

Land_shark is a liar, I put at on at least 2 miles on his bike while testing it.  And another 200 when he was out of town.     :monkeymoon:

110,000 k's or 66,000 miles, and I'll be right pissed off at Mr Suzuki if it don't last another 110,000 k's. But when finally the little 600 engine says enough I'll just shove a gsxr 750 slingshot motor in it. :shock:
What another 30 hp, carn't hurt can it, I said can it. :motorsmile:

Just passed thru 39,000 trouble-free miles yesterday on my '01 B12.
The first 590 miles weren't mine though.
