I've been wanting a 6sd for several years. The 103 and the new frame is a bonus. the only thing it doesn't have that I wanted was ABS.
thanks for your advise
I traded my '12 RK for a '15 RK last year. The changes are SIGNIFICANT on the Rushmore models. The new cams, the saddlebag latches, are great! But, the biggest + best difference is the linked ABS + security on the new bike. You mentioned you were looking for it.......I'd hold out for what I wanted.

Hell yeah, I couldn't agree more with that. After having this Rushmore I could never go back to a pre-Rushmore bike ... they are much better imo. Sure some have their minor issues/recalls, but this is the best HD I ever had. I love my wethead! If you're treating yourself to a new ride, go all the way man ... even if you have to wait a little.

If you are wanting ABS I would hold out for a bike with it.

It's one of the things I wanted when I made my purchase.

The Rushmores are just better. Been on HD's since '68 and can tell you for sure they are so much improved over the pre '14s. Ride one and see for yourself.

Rushmores are nice, but not in my price range yet. Maybe in 3-5 years I can get a good deal on used ones.
I went and looked at the bike. all seemed well. thanks for the advice everyone
