King to Glide maybe
Hey guys going to rent a Road Glide for a weekend and see if I think the move is worth it. My question for you all is Rushmore or not. I'm not that interested in the new gizmos on the Rushmore but for you guys who have one what do you think of it compared to the earlier bikes. There are a couple nice 2013 low mileage Glides at my local dealer that I could probably work a good trade for.

The Rushmore bikes are not just gizmos, Check out the Project. Engine, forks, bags, and lighting are all improved, and then you have the gizmos too. Only you can really decide if those improvements are worth it to you. enjoy the test ride.

Go ride one and see what you think of the changes. I just traded in my 07 king on a road glide and all sentimental value and additions aside I couldn't be much happier with the decision. Handling, power, ergonomics... Road glide is an awesome machine.

I have a 10 and a 16.the suspension on the 10 was upgraded front and rear. The main difference is the motor is quite a bit better but truth for me i still pick my 10 a good bit of the time. Rent one for a day.

I purchased a new 15 RG last year and kept my 03 King in the stable. I like my king more due to the history, but the Rushmore is light years ahead. I got it for the improved frame, forks, etc. I thought I might enjoy the stereo and other farkles on the 15. I could care less. I think the GPS sucks. Bad.
