You are correct, they are worth something. If they are worth something to you that is all that matters. Value is in the eye of the beholder. The motorcycle market is currently in a tail spin. The local dealer where I live has let go of more than a third of their staff. The sales guy I know says it real bad. A bike I traded in, in February is still on the sales floor. I got a great deal on a 2020 FLHTK! Good luck!
Went to look at the bike today. It's a gorgeous bike and extremely clean! With all the upgrades like the rear shocks, the quick disconnect tour pack and the luggage liners. Plus it comes with two seats and a whole lot more...
Thanks for all the info and advice. I'm taking it all to heart.
Thanks also for the info on the pump and the link to a great write up!
As always, you guys rock!
I'll keep you posted!

If the bike is that nice and has all the extras you would buy anyway i say buy it. The extra do mean something. Like you said those shocks are $900 and if it has after market wheels , that's big bucks. There are bike out there that are just over the top and very well taken care of.
Rushmore years 2014-2016, lots of improvements . I've been hearing that stuff about aftermarket being worthless. That was the main factor in my purchase, PO spent a fortune on upgrades. Certainly was worth it for me. Some want to buy a bike all stock, but I think all stock is boring. 2009 Ultra Classic
Thank you sir! Previous owner was well-to-do & Canadian. Has a second winter home here in AZ. Had everything done at Arrowhead Harley & the custom paint job from another local painter. Cant recall the name right now. He was only selling because he had heart surgery & physically couldn't handle the bike any longer. Also had very poor pictures on craigslist. Glad I went to see it in person.

Nice bike! But technically, aren't the project Rushmore bikes 14 and newer? Or was 14-16 classified Rushmore and anything newer just classified as the new normal? Maybe I am wrong.
Perhaps? Cant find anything definitive online. On the forum here usually people are referring to 2014-2016 models as Project Rushmore. I dont think the M8 engines are part of that but I'm really not sure now that you mention it.

Rushmore features appeared in 2014, so from then on, every bike on the touring frame would be considered a Rushmore bike.
