Default Any issues to look for?

Hi everyone! New guy here from NC.
I recently purchased a new to me 2015 Road King. She has 14,000 miles on her and runs out like a champ!
Are there any issues I may need to keep an eye out for? I know the old TC 88's had the whole cam chain tensioner issue, so are there any issues with the 103 to be aware of?
Thanks!

Oh, man! You should have asked before you bought it. The 2015 Road King engine craters when it hits 14,001 miles.

With the Rushmores, and maybe earlier, some of us have had front wheel bearing issues. Nothing to freak out about, but when you are in for your next tire change ask them to check over the wheel bearing. If the fronts require replacement don't be surprised. They ain't dirt cheap, but not that expensive. Cheaper than a rear end on a shaft drive BMW.

Make sure the saddlebag lock pin recall has been done so you don't lose a bag, and if it has hydraulic clutch, ask about the recall and have the fluid changed. I have a 14 and 15K on it, the only issue I have had so far is the left hand switch pack went bad, cruise didn't work. Works good now. Now, where did you put that picture?
