Default Looking to buy 2015 Road King

I looking at a 2015 Road King and was interested if any recalls had been issued for this bike. I don't know the VIN or I would run it through SIP portal.
Color is Jade green and vivid black, the jade looks to be metal flake.

There were a couple of minor recalls but nothing major. I ride a 15 Ultra Classic. Buy the bike and enjoy.

Nice color on you Ultra, the big one that had me concerned was the clutch recall. I know the bikes affected had to have the clutch MC rebuilt. I believe there was incompatible materials used that caused some gassing that put air into the system.

I bought a '15 RK new. The only issue was a bad ignition switch, which I think was a random failure. Mine has a cable clutch. I installed a SE 110 Tire Shredder kit, and it runs great. It has about 27K miles.

I have a 2015 RK. I just bought it with 22k on it. I called a dealer with the vin and the dealer said there was a recall on a saddlebag bracket the the previous owner had fixed....almost seems insignificant. I've had it for for 5 months with zero issues.
Mysterious red/ cayenne
Love the bike

I forgot about the saddlebag attachment devices. Apparently Harley switched suppliers, and the new ones had a tendency to come apart under vibration. Some owners actually lost a saddlebag because of it. I swapped mine with the screw type for extra security. I also installed a set of saddlebag rails, mostly for the looks, but they would catch the bag if it came loose. Anyway, it takes the dealer 10 minutes to swap them.

For some reason I thought that the 14 and up rushmore bikes all had hydraulic clutches.

I think all the touring bikes EXCEPT the RK came with hydraulic clutches.

The bike I considering has ABS and steel laced wheels with white walls, no security. Not crazy about the steel laced wheels, with tubes and all, but I plan to get some Mammoth spoke wheels'
Looking to go gangster with this one.
