2006 flhtcu/ 2016 flhtkse height diference
« on: October 25, 2017, 10:57:29 PM »

My old bike seemed to handle a lot better then my new cvo. The 2016 feels extremely top heavy and unsteady at slow speed. I am wondering if there might be a ride height difference between the two.

On the pre 09 frames you sat more in the bike whereas on the later frames you are more on it. The new bikes are also heavier. There are companies making drop seat kits for the new frames that lower your seating position up to 3".

And the Hammock seat upped the seat height. I sat on one and couldn't reach the floor.  :huepfenlol2: Wish the MOCO would have made the Ultra Limited Low model back In 07. Made the mistake of sitting on one in Carson City. Fit like a glove for me. I recently added Dirty Air fast up in the rear, happy camper now. Sorry Jim I did the wiring myself. :o
