The CVO Ultra is available in three color combinations: Ruby Red and Typhoon Maroon with Forge-tone graphics, Autumn Haze and High Octane Orange with Forge-tone graphics, and Stardust Silver and Twilight Blue with Forge-tone graphics.

Improvements to the 2009 Harley-Davidson CVO Ultra Classic Electra Glide include a new frame, new 2-1-2 exhaust system, and a suspended seat to protect the rider from engine heat.

Man, I really like the Red & Maroon.

Not sure about the new exhaust

And, what is a "suspended seat"?

Is there something different about the rack on the tourpak......is that the new rack with the L.E.D. in it?

With the pipe that close to the rear tire might bring a new meaning to "burning rubber".

Heh, but at least your tire will stay heated up/tacky for the drags.

Suspended seat also a good idea from the comfort standpoint.

I agree on the color. Although I'm sure the other colors will look better in sunlight, I think the 3xred will be the hot seller this year. If I didn't already have one, I'd be tempted, as long as the other changes past the sniff test.

Hopefully we'll get the upgrade PDF soon.

Sure does look that way. Wonder if they went with the SERK 3/4 sizes? I thought they'd do that to the '08 FLs after introducing those tire sizes on the SERK3. But they didn't. Wonder if this is a new setup, or the same as the SERK 3/4's. What were the frame changes?

How do you think they're getting "increased tire life"!!!!!!! A little oil makes a tire last a long time! That's the reason for the under cross exhaust- helps keep the tire hot, so the oil will soak in!

Amen to that. The 09s in all the colors make a good first impression here. But that red one; (insert whistle sound here).

As much as I was hoping the 09 SERG would be a visual standout these are the best looking CVO paint schemes since the SEEGs. Took them four years of tweaking the theme to finally nail it. And that red one; yowzer.

The new Ultra crowd has a lot to look forward to visually. Now can't wait to begin hearing how the new frames/suspension will perform. Interesting things this year.

Nah, oil tends to attack rubber so that's not it.

What I'm hoping is that they've changed the rear engine/trans/swingarm mount to eliminate the squirm/wobble. They can't say anything about eliminating the wobble, since they refuse to admit it exists, so improved tire life will have to do for now. All I care is that they finally updated their 30 year old frame design; now we'll see how much of an improvement it is.

Thanks for the photos of the '09 CVO's... I still can't get into all sections of the H-D website and was glad to have a peek.

I'm not a red guy at all, so that rules out 2 of the Ultra's leaving only the blue & silver which is just OK... I think I'll stick with my Duracell for another year.

The new exhaust system looks interesting. I wonder if it will help with the heat. I noticed that they now come with heat shields as standard equipment. I also wonder with the new headers if you can use a center stand???

By the way (touch wood) I have over 12,000 on my Duracell and not a single drop of oil! Just thought I would throw that out there.

Thanks again for the photos.

It will only look good on the silver bike and only if it matches the color on the

Fuel doors on the dashes over the six gallon tanks are larger. So prior year bikes to the larger tank couldn't use it anyway. I'd noticed that gas door also. But with an 05 or 00 am unable to use it.

Was told yesterday that basically nothing improved/changed on these 09's FL's will retrofit.

Frame change is substantial & while I have not seen one in person, also heard there is a fairly large space above the tranny area in the rear. Nothing there but large enough for a typical softail oil bag or.......

even some type of tank. Frame change looks like HD is getting ready for some more serious changes in the next year or so & liquids sure appear to be involved. If they place a tank there, lots of alternatives for less noticeable cooling fins instead of the more expected front of the bike. Makes ya wonder....

FYI - FLHTCUSE4 in High Octane/Autumn Haze Available at Hal's Harley - New Berlin (Milwaukee Area), WI at MSRP as 8/11/08.
This is really a very nice color - better than I thought it would be. The Orange sparkles in the sun a lot like the yellow SEEG2 (Nanner) of a few years ago. Fat rear tire and new wheels are really cool. Only thing that was weird was seat insert which is gray/silver - someone else mentioned that it doesn't match the orange or red FLHTCUSE4 at all.

Is it just me or do the antenna's look shorter? They look shorter than my 06'

The antenna's are shorter. I saw a regular 09 Ultra and they antenna's are about 24" - 30" long. The new antenna's look a lot like the J&M antenna's that several of us have, only longer.

Wonder how the drive belt will handle the exhaust heat. Setting 3 hours in traffic in Chicago should cook it well done!

Brad

I looked at the distance between the belt and the exhaust is very minimal.......should make it interesting for sure.

Like the Ruby Red best by far - from these pics.

Interesting - heat shields - makes sense considering.

Appears the tour pack may moved back - still cannot tell from these pics.

Suspended seat also a good idea from the comfort standpoint.

I can't seem to figure out what a suspended seat is?

Rob

That is a question I'm glad somebody asked!

A. - It "suspends" you long enough to lift your wallet..?!

Maybe this has been talked about and I just missed it........I was in Vegas last week and went to the LV HD dealer and they had a few 09 Ultra's(non cvo) and a Streetglide. I was told that on these models only there is a new system whereby you turn the throttle forward....beyond the normal idle position.....when stopped and the rear cylinder shuts down, ie while stopped at a light, etc. Then as you accelerate the rear cylinder kicks in again. Does the 09 SEUC have this? Again I was told it's only offered on the Ultra and Streetglide for 09.
It sounds like something else to go wrong on the bikes to me.

Willie....what does that have to do with answering my question about the suspended seat?

HA HA HA.... just kidding. It has been discussed but not enough. It is the same as the o7's had only you couldn't turn it on and off so easy. You either had to have a SERT and go into the program to switch it on and off or have the dealer turn it off (I think it came factory with it on). Then it would shut it down only if it got hot enough and then kick back on once you got moving AND it got "cool" enough. I think thats how it went.
