Harley-davidson rushmore models losing the speedometer/tachometer cluster and cruise control while or after riding in the rain. This happens to me and is well documented on several motorcycle forums on the internet. The speedometer cluster went out which eliminated my ability to determine speed, control cruise control, and detect the state of my headlights, driving lights. This clearly affects my ability to operate the motorcycle safely.

What 2014 Harley-Davidson FLHP owners say
Most recent owner complaints, unedited.
The shift linkage rod that connects the foot shift lever to the transmission shift rod lever had the splines stripped which meant that when I was coming to a stop I was no longer in control of the motorcycle because I could not shift gears. The motorcycle was nearly brand new, having less than 15k miles on it, and it has been properly maintained. All torque values were correct and the linkage rod was replaced once I was able to get the motorcycle to a dealer. Part number 15 where it connects to part number 16 in the attached document.
