I had some paint issues at the beginning but all taking care of. I love the new bike. I run the stock windshield with the wind deflectors that come with it. 3500mi no issues. I have to admit the my 09 RG handled better, I think it is the weight difference between the two bikes. but the 2011 CVO RG still handles a lot better than my 03 RG. I would make them check the neck baring before you leave, the warranty for the neck baring is only 1000mi. because they are supposed to check them at the 1st service.

I have around 10k on my RGUSE. It doesn't handle as good as my old 2009 RGSE. As far as the handling I was told that a change was made to the triple tree assembly to change the turning radius. Still handles better than the older RGs. As far as wind turbulence goes it's not bad. I have the Clearview small on for the winter and I use the HD Windsplitter in warmer weather.

I've had my share of problems.

Throttle stopped working (had take apart and clean contacts in handlebar)
Steering head bearing tightened (twice)
NIM replaced
Noise in front - rebuilt fork and triple tree assembly (noise came back after 1k. Need to fix again)
Replaced XM and radio antenna
Replacing ignition switch
Replaced right heated grip
Paint peeling on motor
PTT doesn't always work (not fixed yet)
Radio switches mode without touching the mode switch (not fixed yet)
Ipod locks up periodically

It's a pain taking it to the dealer so often but they are very good about fixing it. Overall I like it. The bike has a lot of nice accessories. It just sucks to have to work out all the bugs for the MoCo.

Picked mine up on new years eve, it came in 2 weeks early. I agree that my 2009 SERG handles better than my new 2011 SERGU, And both bikes handle better than my 2008 SEUC. having said that the SEUC is more comfortable to ride long distance than the 2009 SERG. I have not yet had the opportunity to ride the SERGU for a long distance. but I do not think it will be as good. I was hoping to be able to consolidate both the 2008 SEUC and the SERG into the new SERGU but I am not yet convinced. I have C Bailey winshields on the older bikes and like them. I have not changed the new one yet, but have found if I tuck down an inch or two it greatly diminishes. I like the feel of the wind but I do not like the noise on the helmet or the vibration on the glasses especially for the longer trips. Biggest issue so far is the Nav system turns on the helmet mike to give directions even if the CB and Intercom are turned off. It makes it impossible to hear the directions.New pipes go on next week so the real feel will begin then, for now it sounds like im ridding a sewing machine.

I think once you have had a chance to do some long distance riding you will find the seat on the SERGU to be as comfortable or better than your 2008 SEUC. I find that it is no problem riding tank to tank on the SERGU.

OK I have had my '11 SERGU (Sir Goo ) for only a couple of weeks now so my input is limited but... I am 6"4" ish and ~250# to give you an idea. I am running stock everything at the moment as well. I went on a 470 mile mountain road break in ride last weekend and 10 hours in the seat was just fine. As for the wind, I didn't notice it much at all but I do wear a full face as well. My head never got knocked around, shield open was not much of an issue either. My '03 Glide was better around town but does not even live in the same world as the '11 when you get out of town. I am planning another ride this weekend to get to the 1K service level and will be able to provide more feedback after that ride.

My overall impression is that the '11 SERGU ride is at least 200% better than my '07 FLTR. Even around the city, I like it better. I think your around town comment is probably based on the fact that the '11 SERGU is heavier. As far as the twisties or the open road, the '11 SERGU is simply AMAZING!

I have the 09SERG and ended up with a 14" Cee Bailey windshield and love it! Could not ride over 50 with stock wind deflector. IMO that was the worst part of this bike. 18k miles and still happy as a pig in chit! One on going problem is rubber molding on fairing between inner & outer starts walking out on hot days. Stealer replaced it on warranty and it is coming off again. I think I will ask them to get me another set of moldings and put them on myself with some sillycone! The adhesive the mo-co uses is sticky and soft and fluid in the hot summer sun! Coming from an 07 FLHX I totally love the ride of the SERG better. There is no comparison IMO!  Face

This is the old bike that I traded in, next post the new bike. This should explain why I  love your choice!

That is the best looking 100 year ann. I have ever seen! I love the blacked out look!     The new bike is also sweet!
