If you are ever just looking at bikes, one of the easiest ways to tell is how the saddlebag lids open.

Rushmores introduced the one-touch latch/lever on the inside front edge, previous edition has the latch on the outside face of the bag. There are other visual cues as well, depending on model...

2014 was the first year of the Rushmores, as stated above.

All the best,

Shane

The mail slot is a dead giveaway. Can spot it coming down the road.
