Default Rushmore

H-D says they talked and listened to several riders in order to develop the changes in project Rushmore. I'm curious did they ask anyone here, or do you know anyone that was asked?

After I purchased my Rushmore, I was invited to be on an advisory panel. Each month they send you a different survey to complete. I'm not sure how many people are on it, or even how they select individuals either. My father has been on it for a few years now as we'll.

Yes, I personally got a phone call a few years back. They flew out and met with me. I invited some fellow riders over and we all talked

No one asked me, but I had a list of issues with my 09 Ultra & 10 RK that I thought if they would just.... And tweak this.... And add some... Fix these... Then when the 14's came out I coulda swore they stole my list...

After my purchase, just as Bsibold I was asked to now take part of these surveys.

I also did a after the fact survey.A little late since I'd already had the bike a month or so,wasn't like my opinion was going to matter.
