Do police ultra`s have a tighter turning circle than standard or cvo bikes ?
Work your circle down to a full lock, and then lean the bike inside to get it to turn even tighter. Stay in the friction zone slipping the clutch, keep the engine speed up and steady, and drag the rear brake. Head and eyes MUST be turned and looking over your inside shoulder and looking behind you. If you can see your tourpack you have a pretty good head turn. The head turn is the hardest part for a lot of folks.
Do NOT:
look down
look away
pull in the clutch
let the clutch all the way out
roll off the gas
take your foot off the rear brake
touch the front brake
If you feel like the bike is tipping over, e-a-s-e out a little more clutch to hold the bike upright. However any drastic change to the clutch, throttle, rear brake or head and eyes will make it more difficult. I suggest you practice on another bike if you have one. IF the CVO is ALL you have, take the bags off and wrap the crash bars in heavy protective garden or heater hose.
Donna Paladino told me that Jerry had to take his grinder to her new bike and cut the stops down to get it to turn tighter. Shortly there after HD came out with a change to the steering stops so the bikes can turn tighter at full lock.
