WFP gets a Candy Concord SESG
« on: August 28, 2009, 07:18:18 AM »
As I posted in my poll, I too have joined the ranks of SESG owners.  Picked it up yesterday afternoon and have about 100 miles on it right now after riding it to work.  My first impressions:

1.  Having owned CUSEs since 2006, I forgot how light and nimble this type of bike can feel.  Better than the 2004 SEEG from what I recall.
2.  The gauges seem brighter than the 2008 CUSE...but the Dakota Digital would be so sweet!
3.  I miss the power locks.
4.  Felt some heat on the right side of the seat as expected...
5.  The Floorboards to seat height seems shorter...my knees feel higher than the CUSE.
6.  Need a rider backrest...I have grown accustomed to this.
7.  The rear end is Sweet...need to add the saddlebag spoilers!
8.  The mustache bar is hard to use as highway pegs...too narrow, need to add some pegs.
9.  The color is fantastic...wish HD added some of the pale gold to the front fender and fairing...they seem a little plain.
10. Need to add the Garage Door Opener....I am spoiled.

All in all, this bike will be perfect for it's intended use....weekend trips, commuter vehicle, dinner etc.  I don't have plans for a tourpac but have ordered the stealth rack so that I can use my T-bags for weekend trips.

Congrats! You're going to love it. I've got over 1000 miles on mine after coming off 4 yrs on an 06 SEUC. It's quite refreshing!!!

Yes, it is very nice-again congrats.   Regarding the rider's backrest, that would be the last addition I would take off my bike.

Happy to see that some of you fellow CVOer's are keeping the economy going.    :2vrolijk_21:

3.  I miss the power locks.
5.  The Floorboards to seat height seems shorter...my knees feel higher than the CUSE.


Making an assumption without the foundation of actually having looked here Bill.  The old frame had three up and down mounting positions for the footboard brackets to the frame.  If the new frame continued that your brackets might be in one of the upper positions.

The power locks can be added.  Harley makes a kit.  I rolled my own for the red bike before Harley released theirs.  You can do it that way for quite a bit less than their kit price.  But you'll need to build your own wiring harness for it.  Simple harness though.  I've got the schematic if you feel salty some weekend.

It was supposed to be sunny for most of today!

Oh well...it was going to get wet sometime.

I will have to check the bracket...the locks do not come up as an option on HD website for this bike...They do specify 2008.
