How about we put up a Sticky titled "Read the F-ing Manual." Except for the lack of a wireless headset, most of the complaints I see about the radio/GPS are from owners not knowing how to use it.
Sure the one guy who spends 9 Months planning his 38,000 mile trip isn't gonna be happy with the stock GPS but compared to the tape deck from 1984 that came on the '13 models, I love mine!
Clutch issues were all handled through recalls (not sure why people complain about a company making repairs on something when it needs to be fixed) so nothing to mention there.
The only other Rushmore specific thing would be the cooling system. With the number of them out there, those issues seem to have all but gone away also.

I vote yes!
I'm for it and voted accordingly.
Great idea and I think it should be implemented immediately!
That way, the people who hate hearing negative things about these bikes (or the MoCo) wouldn't have to be bothered with reading about the ongoing issues with some of them and others would have a place to go to do research before making a purchasing decision.

Another GREAT idea!
I never turn mine on to begin with, so no (known) problems with mine at all, but all the folks who are addicted to high tech gadgetry would surely appreciate it, at least I would think so.

Sooo, what kind of oil do you use in your flux capacitor? How about a thread on substituting Laundry detergent for fork oil.

If you put a separate "problem" sub-forum, Harley haters will migrate there to report back to their respective forums. And there's no way that people with problems will ONLY report them there. They will still post them in the other forums.
One last thing...it'll look like a shoot load of problems when a prospective buyer comes to the forum wanting opinions about getting a Rushmore. They may not notice that the same problems are repeated constantly.
