I was looking at these. Got any pics ? Did you wire them internally ? Are these the 11/4 bars?
Sorry it took me a while to answer... no i didn't wire them internally. I bought some heated grips that were external so I just left them all external.
Can anyone recommend a solo seat that a little higher than stock (other than the police set up)? I'd like to get an inch or so higher than I am now on the C&C solo.
The mustang seats on the 09-13's moved you back and down compared to stock. The same seats installed on the 14-16's is slightly taller than stock and back a little. The stock Rushmore seats are lower than previous years. Compared to the C&C I don't have info on.

I thought the stock seat blew chunks. I had my stock modded to move me back 2" and add memory foam and gel pads and recovered in white Gator. Then my OL bought me a Tall Boy and had the padding upgraded and recovered in white Gator. I am hooked on custom seats. Will never run a stock seat again on anything.
Just bought a Sporty 72 so I've only been taking the Road King on long hauls. Still loving it. No problems except for the shifter linkage issues everyone else is dealing with.
I briefly owned an old iron head sporty on a hard tail frame with a veeeeerrrry long girder front end back in the 80s. Recently had been eyeing the 72s at the stealer. And I rode one of my club brother's sporty bobber back from Norfolk last month and found I missed the stripped down, no windshield feel sometimes. I sold my Buell and one of my SuperGlides to a couple brothers a month ago. Walked into a Victory dealer looking for a part for my OL's Eightball and saw a beautiful used Metal Flake Green 72 for dirt cheap. A 2013 with 1200 miles on it. The price was right so I snatched it up.
Love it so far. Have had to replace the battery, extend the seat, and get memory foam to cushion the ride. A spring solo is coming. As is Full Boar slip-ons, Ness Big Sucker, Xieds, bitch pad and bar. Maybe a few more doodads.
My OL has been riding it a lot more than me. She loves it. It's been a very long time since I owned one.

Having a blast (except for the tank size, LOL).
Lol, had the very same bike....loved it...miss it. If not for mileage I'd have guessed you bought my old bike! Mine had 8,000 on it when I sold it. It helped pay for the RK....picked up an Ironhead project to fill the hole it left in my heart. Enjoy.

Still loving this bike. I'm only up to 23K on it though, since it shares time with five other bikes (I know ... I have a problem). Though I'm selling the Buell and the Superglide to brothers on payments. I'm still in love with my baby as much as the day he came home with me. Almost got it looking like I want.
It has been completely reliable, just as every other HD I've owned since my 85 Evo. Still rails the twisties like no other bagger I've ever been on. Has been cheap to maintain - tires lasted forever. And any time I have a ride over four hours round trip or packing the OL he's what I fire up.
I test drove a new 107 RK and it just didn't impress me enough to consider trading up. I bought a British Crotch Rocket to play in the curves with, instead.
Years later and still in love with the Rushmore RK. It's now been with me longer than a couple wives. Been thru two clubs, too. It has been rock solid dependable at 36K miles and I've done nothing but change oil, brakes, and tires. I have a four-hour round trip work commute weekly or more and still love hopping on it, as long as the temps are above 30F. The wife loves packing on it (when she's not on her own bike).
I have lusted after a new burnt orange Heritage, a new Road King Special, and an Indian Springfield. But I just can't let my 'Gator' go. Will probably die with this bike in my garage.
