That's why it's hard to find neutral. It's just not fully "loosened up" yet. Give it another thousand miles or so and it'll drop right in.

Guaranteed!

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....

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?
Seriously - what kind of stupid question that is ? There nothing perfect but imperfections - you need to be able to make decisions in life good or bad and live with it.

It's weird, this QC of MOCO products...when it's good, it's really good...when it's bad, it's pretty bad.

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

been riding motorcycles since 1969. Harleys since 1979. Rode a lot of goldwings over the years. I have a 2015 streetglide special and a 2015 triglide. I think the streetglide is the best bike I have ever owned. You will have some likes and dislikes of anything you buy.

Nothing I hate, as one mentioned bluetooth headset would be nice but I haven't lost any sleep. Hell this is the first bike I've owned with a stereo.

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!!

I love my 15 Street Glide. The power, the ride, the handling are great. well above the 08 Fatboy I traded in.

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!
