DesertHOG,
First off, congratulations on the new bike. I am supposed to get mine (Red and Black) Aug 23. I have a question for you about the NIM (Navigation Interface Module). Harley claims that if you are listening to the radio/cb/intercom that the gps directions will interupt the current mode and then switch back. Have you had a chance to try it out yet. Any info you can provide on this feature as well as the mp3 and phone on the gps is appreciated.
Thanks,
cvosjoe

Joe, I believe their claim but have not taken my GPS out of the box yet. I did read in the manual that if you try to play media file on the GPS you will not hear them through the radio (media files could be interpreted as MP3?). I have also read on other forums that you can hook up via Bluetooth and if you get some add-ons from CallSet, that you can get your phone working through the microphone speaker combo of the intercom. I may try this but frankly I go on the road to get away from the phone. I did read the manual regarding GPS but it's only 5 pages and I believe there is a lot more information in the Zumo660 manual.

GL, DesertHOG

PS: I attached the five pages on GPS from the manual in a ZIP file.

Deserthog, my wife and I were at Santa Fe H-D on Sat., Aug, 7 while you & your wife were there....IIRC, we were both paying for something at the cashier. Got a look at your bike when you & wife pulled out of the dealership...beautiful machine for sure.

Bottom line is that they "Old manned out" the SERG. It's that simple, and I couldn't be happier to own a 09 SERG.

Yup, that's exactly what they did and this "old man" is very happy.
Btw, I'd like a 2009 SERG for bangin' round town  and daytrippers.

Hmmm, I'm getting one and keeping my 09 SERG!  Who says you cant have 2 CVO's!   (shhh, if my wife asks just tell her it a regular bike!)

Your going to love it. 

Nice picture from 3rd and Lazzel in Sturgis.  I saw them there too.  I test rode one, its a great machine.  I really do like two of the three colors also.

I need to add the chrome gps mount and the Ipod integration kit too.

Joe,

Don't know if this will help, but I have the 660 (same one on the cvo). I have it hooked to the Aux port in the front and while listening to any music (XM, radio, CD, or MP3) it will interrupt the music to give you nav directions. I believe (seems to me anyway) that it actually pauses the song on the MP3's when it interupts and then picks right back up where it interrupted at.

I cannot imagine you cannot hear MP3's thru the radio. Can anyone verify this?

Rob,
How did you get yours to pass directions through the speaker while you have XM or Radio playing?  I have to switch my HK head unit over to the "AUX" mode before I can hear the directions on my 660, and that prevents me from listening to the radio.  I can listen to the mp3 on the memory card in the 660 and it does pause the music when giving voice commands.  Did you do something different to allow you to have your radio in AUX and listen to XM or the radio?

Ahhhhh... there in could lie the problem. I have a stock bike and listen to XM and MP3's thru the 660 itself. I forgot you have it in the radio unit itself. I apologize! Wish I could have been more  (any) help!!

Didn't know if you all saw this topic (I'm sure, but just in case) http://www.cvoharley.com/smf/index.php?topic=52216.0 check out reply #3.

Test rode the RG Ultra CVO version in Sturgis and the engine temperature was so hot I had to hold my right leg away from the engine on the highway to keep from feeling like my pants were going to catch on fire. This was after the bike had not been ridden for about 45 minutes do to an accident on the demo route. Had 8 to 10 miles of two lane riding (to Whitewood) and then the same mileage back on the Interstate to Sturgis exit 30. Could not believe how hot the engine got. Love the looks and all the extras, but could not stand that much heat.

[DesertHOG]

A few more things, what about engine heat, and heat from the exhaust? How about engine noise from the 110 this year? And how would you rate the quality of the stereo sound at 65 to 80 mph? Thanks.  

Exhaust heat compared to my old Rinehart dual exhaust is way too hot. I am looking for a solution that will probably involved Fullsac X Pipe.
Engine noise: Nothing out of the ordinary.. darn quiet compared to my 103.
Stereo quality is off the charts even at 100+.

Took delivery of our new charcoal slate/black SE Ultra Road Glide today.  When we first rode it a week ago the wind was too much for wife and we didn't do the deal.  Dealer ordered in two different windshields. The smoke tint Kuryakyn one did the job and looks really great on it. Reduced the wind to about what wife experienced on the '07 SE Ultra.  I went with the new screamin eagle slip-on exhaust that look like the supertrapps.  They have a bit louder and deeper sound than the stock CVO mufflers but are street legal stamped and I think they look good with the trumpeted shape and the disc baffles visible.  Didn't get to ride it more than bringing it home and putting it in the garage but plan to put some miles on it this weekend.   Now I'm going to have to change my handle!!
