Just to add my tuppence worth.... I have always thought that 2012 ultra was a bit nervous in windy conditions and a bit of a handful when coming up behind large vehicles; especially just before you would pull out to pass if it is a windy day. I had just assumed the fairing was to blame but how wrong I was. Last weekend I met up with an old mate Steve on his standard 2011 ultra and my normal riding buddy Grant, who was on his fat boy low. It was a perfect riding day with just a slight breeze and after about 40 miles we pulled over to swap bikes around. I was surprised when riding behind Steve, (who was on my CVO ultra), that I could see the effect the draught from the bus in front was having on the CVO. As I then came up behind it to pass, the standard ultra was not affected in any way by the turbulence from the bus and at no time did I experience any issue with the handling on his bike. When we stopped for food and a chance to compare notes we all came to the same conclusion that the CVO ultra was badly affected by wind/ turbulence compared to the standard ultra. N.B. My CVO ultra has 1500 miles on it, Steve's ultra has just over 8000 miles on it and is still on it's original tyres.
