Default Been quite a while, but I.....

Am back on the forum - in the Rushmore section with a '14 Limited I recently picked up.
Bought it "used", but it's only got 452 miles on it. Seriously. Score!

The ride - as I picked it up.



I'm not a fan of the floppy battery tender plug, and much like I did for my FXDWG, I ordered the Flange Mount Kit so i could make a solid mount. This kit plus a $12 inspection sticker plate fit the bill.




Because of my garage layout, I use the tender on the right side. I routed the (new) harness to the right side and used heat-shrink over the connection.



Got everything tied up and bolted in place. Now I can sleep at night.



Bolted on the S&S Power Tune dual head pipes with Rinehart 4" mufflers
HD Ventilator air cleaner which the breather is vented to Mother Nature
V&H FP3



Added a +0 SoftBrake pedal as the stock configuration was horrible.




The real gem of the day was adding all the light to the rear end.
- Bright *** Light laydown tail light
- Custom Dynamics Fillerz (run & brake only - no directionals)
- HD's Saddlebag lights

Overboard? Probably. Don't care - I like it. lol

Home - before I started with the lights & other mods.
(and knocked out the surface rust in the pipes)







Also added the Custom Dynamics Dynamic Ringz w/ smoked lenses & their fender tip in white light w/ smoked lens up front.
The Ringz appear to be solid white, but that's via a phone camera. They are a halo with amber center.










Now if I can get that lien release paperword from Eaglemark, I can title/register this beast and start riding it.....
(they said it takes them up to 14 days to process/send the lien release even though the loan has been paid off) huh?

Time to update the sig pic.

Edit to add video -

Welcome back. Good to see people aren't riding the Rushmore's any more than they weren't riding the other bikes. Great deal for sure.

Thanks for posting, I was looking at doing the same with my rear.

Now that you have it done, would you do it over again the same or pick doing just one or the other- saddlebag OR filler lights?

Thanks fellas. The battery tender flange mount was something I learned on this forum back in '07 or '08, so it's only fitting I bring that knowledge back where I got it.

I spend quite a bit of time reading & researching before pulling the trigger. For me, I wouldn't change a thing. I didn't connect the Fillerz to the turn sigs and love it as-is. The BAL is probably my favorite addition, but I'm glad I did all 3 back there.
