Do you hate your Rushmore?

Naw, I don't hate it. I put a real windshield on it and can hear the stereo fine. It handles the Ozark curves good, and feels really planted. Runs well, looks good. I just have the 4.3 stereo, so no GPS etc.. Only real complaint is the reflection off of said infotainment center, and even that is just aggravating at certain times of the day.. I put a hammock seat on it and like it just soso, probably a new seat somewhere in the future, as well as rear shocks....

Just fishing for some feedback, I always seem to hear about all the negatives after I buy something, so I figure a little research could not hurt.
Right now I have my 2011 RGU and I am not unhappy with it but I was very happy on the demo ride I went on with the new models, I bought this bike used and had the the thought that when the new RGU came out I would go for it, that thought was squashed when the the ultra did not come out in 2015, and I was not plopping down 40 grand for a CVO. Now the 2016's are here and I am again tempted but I am seeing a mix of feedback all over on the good and bad over the new and old.
So if you got a redo would you pull the trigger on that new one again or would you stick with the one you had?

I've never had a problem finding N since mile-3 (what was on the odo when I bought it). I've changed ALL three fluids every 5000-miles (yes...I know...overkill for many) and I'm about to do it again as I approach 20,000 on the odo...10 months later
I think heel-shift lever position could be key as its so easy for me to "snick" my RGS into N whether it's stone-cold off, running (after I've geared down to 1st). I very rarely use my toe-lever to snick into N because the muscle-memory of using my heel makes it an instinctual and very easy procedure for me...a very light finesse tap with my heel is all I need for THIS bike and set-up. Mine is really good...so far

I can find Neutral but not easily from a rest, sometimes clutching it a bit helps, but I suspect changing the gear lube at 1000 along with some more miles and it will get better.

I went from a 2010 HD Street Glide to a 2015 HD Ultra Limited last year. Both have been great bikes but the Rushmore model offers so much more and it definitely rides better. I love my new bike and plan on putting all kinds of miles on it. Granted I had two recalls and one little issue with the driving lights but I had that on the Street Glide also. The AVC still doesn't work but it doesn't affect the good times I have riding. Plus when you have a GREAT Harley Dealer close by its just convinent when one of them crappy little issues happens!!

My first bike was a 1965 BSA Lightning, second bike was a 1961 Harley Davidson Duo-Glide Panhead that my grandfather gave me, third bike was a 1979 FLH Classic that my dad gave me and there were several metric bikes in there!
Got out of riding when I got married in 1989, then started again when I got divorced in 2008, bought a 2001 FXDL Lowrider and traded for a used 2005 FLTRI Road Glide in 2009, then traded for a 2009 FLHT in 2010, then traded for a 2014 FLHX in Aug. 2013 and now I've traded for a 2016 FLHTK.
Both of the Rushmore bikes have been the best that I've ever owned, couldn't be happier with my new Limited! My advice, get a Rushmore, you won't be disappointed!
