Local road glide "project"
So in searching locally for a road glide, I found something nearby. It's a 2012 with 21k miles which they're asking 9900 for. The kicker, it is missing it's hard bags. The selling point, I already own a pair of rushmore hard bags and a tourpak. Is there anything huge on later models that I should need to pass this up?

I'd be very,very careful considering that bike. It sounds like it's either been mistreated or a project was started and abandoned. It's possible you could strike an advantageous deal but it will require a very close inspection and an understanding of what you want and what may have to be done.
There are garage queens out there for good prices and your bags will sell.

a 2012 for 9900? make certain it runs and rides. no salvage title, then make you best offer to the man.
for that price, if you own the bags and tp already and it only needs a radio that you probably would replace anyway, its coulb be a reasonable deal.

Last question. I read that there are methods to make the rushmore bags fit on the pre-rushmore brackets. I am not worried there. Can the rushmore stock support brackets (I have them as well) bolt right up to the pre-rushmore fender? Looks like it will, but hard to say for sure.

Its real easy to make em fit. Just have to loosen the mount brackets. Adjust to line up. Retighten brackets. Just put em on a buddies 2008 off a 2016.

If it sounds too good to be true, it usually is.
Check the Bike out very carefully, give it a good once over from top to bottom.
Fiend out all that has been done to the Bike, like a Stage-I, and what missing from it.
