Yep. IMO, the Rushmore Limiteds are the pick of the MOCO litter - hands down, no question about it. Best bikes to come out of the MOCO to date.

Lovin' the hell out of my '15!

I also had to adjust my headlight (I think everyone probably does). Still ain't the greatest road-beacon on earth, but totally adequate and serviceable. Redline Heavy Gear Oil W/Shockproof, or whatever they call it, did wonders for my noisy tranny and it shifts way better, too.

The MOCO and its beta-testers are more than welcome to those M8 bikes.

I'll be getting new tires this service as well.
The wobble showed up on mine at about 12,000 miles. I tightened up the neck barring adjustment a little and it went away. Be sure to let the service department know that it is happening.

We talked about it. I told him I thought it was the neck bearing, and to be sure the tech that services it knows about it. It wobbled like a mother on one occasion.

I need to tighten mine up a bit but no issues since the front tire swap. I have over 30,000 miles so far and love the bike !!!!

Got my 15,000 mile service done. The bike actually had 16,325 at the time. New tires, new brakes....bike feels new again. No steering wobble noticed, so it may have been tire related. I'll keep an eye on it.

I also ran the tank down to "low range" for the first time. I put in 5.499 gallons, so it's good to know I could have gone another 20 miles or so, if need be. Taking the loaner back.
I got my baby back.
Pushing the limits.
A good half gallon left.
Could have gone 250 I'm sure

Beautiful ride! Don't get your hopes up on the Shockproof in your tranny, it only last a short time then its back to the clunk and search.

Default 20,000

I surpassed 20,000 miles this weekend. I'm taking it in for service tomorrow. I have no real complaints with the bike. The rear brake has been squealing since they replaced the pads at 15,000 miles, so I'm gonna mention that. The kick stand seems to drag way too easy, and I don't recall it doing that when brand new. I've used the navigation quite a bit, and I'm pretty happy with it too. I do like letting the nav lead me to my destination, using the twisty setting.

About 10,000 mi. on my '15 Limited and nary a problem. The M8's may be great, but I love my Rushmore. No more new H-D's in my future, I got a good'un & I'm stickin' with it!

I finally did a test ride on a M8. I was impressed with the motor and slick tranny, but I didn't want to come home and throw rocks at my 2014 Limited either. I am still enjoying the Rushmore Limited. The bit of extra oomph with the M8 is very cool, but not a must have.
