Default Possible New to me Bike

All,
I've been wanting a Rushmore road glide special since the hard candy paint sets were introduced.

I've decided that my absolute favorite is the gold flake that was on the 16 model year.

I've found 3 of these bikes close to me and would like opinions on price. Yes I know it's peak riding season but this opportunity just came up.

Bike 1, 1826 on odometer, 19,000 out the door, 100% stock. Local dealer, home town.

Bike 2, 1658 miles on odometer, 14 yaffees, Corbin heated seat with backrest, 450 slip ons, luggage rack. In Texas 19,425. Sixteen hundred miles from me. High volume dealer.

Bike 3, 3329 miles on odomoter, 18,000, private seller, 1429 miles from me. Kst bars, D&D exhaust.

all are specials, all are used, all are out of warranty.

Thoughts?

I do not want a M8, it will be an all cash deal.

Thanks

I’d go stock and make changes that you want, not get one of the others and have to sell off aftermarket parts or feel like you should be forced to like them.

I like going for stock but it depends. Are the things done on either of the bikes things you would do? I like the sounds of number 2 personally.

No 1 - it will cost you $1000 to get the other two

Thanks for all feedback. To answer questions. All prices are out the door.

For my needs all I will add is apes and a stage 1.

​​​​​​ All stock and local feels better and more supported over time. My local dealer is a good guy and if I experience problems will be a stand up person.
