After riding a 2006 Ultra that I bought new in 2005 for 37,000 miles I decided it was time for something different. I started out wanting a CVO Ultra but once I saw the Black/Orange CVO SG I couldn't get that bike out of my head. Crazybob had his listed for sale and it was set up perfect for me so I bought it.
Yesterday was the first day I had a chance to ride it. It was 35 degrees and cloudy but I just had to go for a ride.
I'm in love with this bike! It rides better than my Ultra. Granted my Ultra has a 21"/18" combo with the front lowered an 1" but still the SESG rides smoother! Which surprised me.
The 110 is worked over and pulls hard! I didn't ring it out completely because it only has 700 miles on it but I can tell I'm going to be happy with it. My Ultra has a 98" GMR build and it ran good but this bike is much stronger as it should be.
The seat seems comfortable but we only went 20 miles at a time between stops so I won't have a full opinion until spring.
I'm definitely changing the bars to Chubby 575's, I feel like I have to reach to far with the stock bars.
Is it the new frame? It seems to me that I'm more scrunched in the sitting position than my 06 Ultra. I know the seat on the SESG is lower than an Ultra but my 06 Ultra has a sundowner that lowers that seat an 1" over stock and it seems my 06 has more distance between the seat and floorboards.
Do they make a kit to lower the floorboards?
