Did your Rushmore fall over?
Did your Rushmore fall over?
I was wondering when my limited falls over, (I'm sure it eventually will) how far will it go? Does it go to about 45 degrees like some other big touring bikes? Do the bars on the bike protect it well?
What gets scratched, and what gets damaged.
Let's say just for discussion the bike is stopped and falls over.

14 limited. Did it backing out of parking spot with deep rain gully. Wasn't paying enough attention. Tried to keep it from falling hard, probably not a smart thing to do. It did not het hard and was resting on crash bar. Was surprised that it was not that hard to lift. It's all technique.

Before I put my GDO on my 2015 Ultra Limited, I was getting off to shut the garage door and went to set it on the kick stand, but forgot to put the kickstand down. It happened real fast, tried to stop it when I didn't feel the kickstand and it was too late. Very minor scratch on the bottom of the engine guard, nothing else. It's a heavy lift to get back up, but this method works. Won't be forgetting my kickstand anytime soon.

I went to park my Rushmore bike on a steep incline at Mt. Rushmore during Rally Week last Summer, put my foot down and. . . no contact. Bike slowly keeled over onto the crash bar, at least 10 brothers were there immediately to right the ship. No damage at all. Thanks brothers!

Saddle bag guards are key my old road glide fell over at the shop and broke the bag into pieces I'm glad my ultra has guards or I would put them on

I had an unintended lay down (gentle) on my 2014 limited, no damage but a very minor scratch where the front crash bar contacted the pavement.

I laid mine over in my driveway when I was backing out. It settled on the left highway peg mounted on the front crash bar. Scuffed the highway peg a little, but that was the extent of it. I lifted the bike by myself using the first method shown in the video.
