The 2010 CVO SG is much more expensive than my 09 SG (even with all the changes I made to it). The 09's 2-1-2 exhaust flows great for my purposes (didn't care for the 2010 SG "lost one muffler" look). I went with the stage II 103 with 255 cams and love the performance (much better than a 110 that keeps sprouting oil leaks)... Glad i went with the 09 instead of waiting for 2010s. I have quick detach tourpac, pass backrest, and choice of two racks, 103 motor, passenger floorboards, rider adj backrest, and everything else I wanted on the SG for less than the 2010 CVO SG that doesn't have most of the options I added (for less money)...
Yes, the 09 and 2010 have many advances in handling design, worth an upgrade for sure... probably plenty of 09s on showroom floors to get a deal on too... Nothing in the 2010 lineup that I can't live without... Now if my wife will just shutup about wanting a trike...
Anyone else notice the stage II 103 is no longer available for a 2010 SG? For that matter, the SE catalog is now mostly tools?
