Default 2015 Road Glide

Are there any known issues that I should be aware of, as I am buying one in a few days?

Has the brake fluid been flushed? If so, when?
Has the bike had any recalls? If so, have they been completed?
Does it have aftermarket exhausts? If so, ask if there is tuner included with the bike.

That's about all I can think of off the top of my head. The Rushmore bikes have been excellent machines. You'll enjoy it. Congratulations!

Appreciate it! I will definitely ask those questions and make sure it’s all taken care of before I put it on the road for some serious miles.

I have a 2015 RGS absolutely no issues. BTW no tuner is needed as long as just slip ons were changed. I did do a Power Vision tuner when I decided to put on the VO2 V&H breather.
Power Vision tuner bought from Fuel Moto

I forgot to mention that it would be nice if you had proof that all the maintenance had been performed over the years. Also, take a look at the front spark plug wire where it routes up under the tank. Some of them were rubbing on some Rushmore models.

Can I ask a personal question? How many miles on the 15 and how much are you purchasing for.
The only reason I ask is because I have a new Heritage on order and am trying to decide if I should sell or keep my RGS.
Thanks

Just under 6k miles. I’ll let you know how much after I pick it up so I don’t jinx myself...lol
