Default 2014 Ultra Limited

I have a few minor issues I hope I can get some answers on. One It seems my right heel touches the pipe when I ride. Is there a shield available at the curve that will keep my boot form marring the pipe. I see no damage on my boot but I am concerned about the pipe. Also I am getting a burning coolant smell and the coolant level is a little low. This is the second issue I have had with the coolant, the last time the coolant was running out the overflow all the time.

Another issue is the off-ignition switch keeps sticking when i try to turn it. And last the mileage. What should I expect with a bike that has 200 miles? I am getting around 20?
I appreciate your responses. Thanks.

Shouldn't the title say Ultra Limited the Classic isn't water cooled.

HDF has a dedicated 'Rushmore' forum, where you should get answers to your questions. With a '14 bike I would expect it to be still under warranty?

20mpg is just wrong. Should be closer to 40! I'd get it to the dealer if it were mine.

Low coolant level is normal for an air cooled engine. I have a 13 Heritage and the coolant level is always empty. lol
When the infotainment system gps gets a couple of years on it, it will require a new system as the old will no longer be able to be updated.
The side saddle bags of the 14 Ultra seem to have less space than my saggy bags on my 13 Heritage.
Im finding most people say you have to upgrade the stock stereo speakers.
Seems like people find as much wrong with the new touring bikes as they find good.

you should be getting around 40mpg not 20
