A softail with a better lean angle would be huge! And it would make me pull the leather from my pocket instantly.

"Improvements"=cheaper parts, unreliable, reduced quality, and higher cost. The Rushmores are a joke. Now they have a recall for saddlebags falling off. Smh

This exactly. After I bought my 2013 Anniversary Road King, I heard all about the "upgrades" of the Rushmores. Dear lord am I happy I missed those upgrades! Almost every one has had some sort of issue or recall, and the one single feature that I really liked was the new saddlebag design. And now even they are flying off bikes. Harley can keep all there freakin upgrades.

I've got to say that the Heritage is the most comfortable bike I have ever owned. It fits me like a glove. It would be really hard to improve that. Personally, I don't need to go any faster and I don't need any more of a lean angle. I wouldn't mind cruise control.

I'm interested to see what they have. My wife told me the other day that the Heritage is not comfy to ride for her, which is why she hasn't gone with me for awhile. Doesn't really hurt my feelings...not much anyways . Admittedly, lately I'd rather cut the grass than take the bike out...which sux. But I need more power to pull these mountains I ride in 95% of the time. She's a slug, even with the Xieds installed. Oh well, bring on the '16's and lets see what they got.

👆The popcorn and beer diet probably doesn't help "pull those mountains". Just sayin....
