March 2023 Bike of the Month

I guess I'll give this another shot -- I'm not sure what to call this other than a Rushmore Road Glide Limited. This bike started it's life as a 2014 Ultra Limited - the year they didn't make a RG- and remained so until April 15 2020 when I stumbled across this forum and found a couple fellas willing to show me that it could be transitioned into the bike it was always meant to be,

There's not much that hasn't been done to this bike. The easier way to state upgrades is to say the tank and the tourpak are the only thing that remain stock. Everything on the bike that could be chromed has been done, from the wheels and calipers to the inner primary and pulley. The engine is a 110 with Baisley Superstock heads, Tman 660 cams, roller rockers, a 64mm tb and a scorpion clutch. The drive pulley has been changed from a 32T to a 31T so it jumps pretty hard off the line. It's finished with a D&D Fatcat with a dummy pipe on the left side.

Bags, side covers and rear end are TopShop and I yanked the Limited front fender in favor of a smooth look without emblems. The bars are custom made by my buddy Joe at Vindikta and yes, they're tall measuring 20" from the bottom of the bar to the top of the point. In reality they're just 18s and ride like a dream. Suspension is Ohlin in the rear and the HD premium upgrade in the front and has Dakota Digital gauges.

More than anything the bike is a big audio bike with four amps, a dsp and 8 speakers if you don't count horns and compression drivers - if you do, it's 14. It comes in with a cool 4400w and plays loud enough that I can't hear the exhaust if I don't want to. Runs a Braille lithium battery and has the HD H.O. Charge System.

Bike has 36,000 miles on it after a super low mileage year in 2021 due to a busy normal life but it's ready to roll if we ever get a spring here in Minnesota. It's been to Sturgis, Nashville, St. Louis, Sedona, Arkansas and everywhere in between. We don't own a trailer but we do have two madstad shields for it given the weather forecast!

Thanks for your consideration.

Ah what the hell only been on this site forever so may as well throw my name in the hat.

I'd have to say this bike has been amazing. I bought this bike brand new with 14 miles on it in August of 2017. I made the jump from a 95 cu in Twin Cam with +95 HP and +95 ft/lbs Torque. I had tried to get into the new road glide when they came back out in 15 only to find out how gutless a stock 103 cu in motor was. The 107 was everything my 95 cu in motor had and more. This pretty much amounts to my favorite aspect of the bike, never in my wildest dreams did I think that Harley would put a motor in a bike that had enough power and torque out of the box to make touring comfortable. They did it! I forgot to mention she's paid for too, which makes riding the ol girl that much sweeter.

I've ridden this bike cross-country to Tennessee and North Carolina. All over Montana, Colorado, Idaho and Wyoming as well. Although riding to TN and getting to ride the Appalachians was a treat, I really really enjoy riding in Idaho. I recently got back from Phoenix, Arizona as well which AZ is fun to ride, yet most of my riding consisted of commuting to school and work in Scottsdale. The bike performed well in the sweltering temperatures PHX has to offer. I ended up putting over 15K in 10 mo while living down there. I can see myself owning this bike through 100K mi. Thats only a mere 49K to go! All in all, I wouldn't choose another model to do my touring with.

Hope that's not too short......but if you ride a Harley you know that there aren't enough words in the English language to aptly describe the feeling or the love we have for our machines.

Good luck to the rest of the entrants!

Cheers!

My first Harley, although i rented Harleys for 10 years! Bought it in 2020, was so dificult to choose this color since I alway rode black bikes. But she kept calling my name at the dealership, so I made it mine. Took me a year to really fell in Love with her, now we are inseparable. I get anxious when I have to leave it for service. Upgraded engine to 131 Stage4, added front fenders and upgraded front and rear shocks, since I take this baby to the mountains a lot! Never wanted to have music riding before, but now, impossible not to, so I upgraded To Rockford stage2. It came with the Klock Werks windshield. Also, added punisher horn cover with American flag. Currently at shop since I am upgrading Transmission to Grudge Box and Dark Horse compensator. I took her to Sturgis for our honeymoon!

...forgot to mention: Jackpot 2-1-2 with Tab Zombie mufflers and of course Tuner by Dyno Jet!

This is my 22 Road Glide Special FLTRXS. I purchased it wrecked and rebuilt it. It has base coat black with ZGA Hypershift pearl paint. I done all of the work myself with the exception of my wife helping wet sand. It has a Stage 4 131 engine, with S&S Sidewinder pipe. 21" Fat Spoke wheel and wrap around finder. 14" x 1 1/2" ape hangers. My favorite thing is thing about it is that I done the work myself.
