Has anybody had any issues with handling (rear steer, high speed wobble, flexing,  etc.) with the new 09 frames?

With only 3000 miles on mine I can say it is the best handling Harley I have ever owned.


There has been a few times at speeds like we rode to get your camera ( ) and no wobble, weave or rear steer.


What's everybody else with an 09 think?

I've had an 03,07 and the 09 is the best handling bike by far.... straight on the highways, great in the turns

Difference from the 04 Road Glide and SERG is very distinct.  The 09 feels planted all the time and confident if not downright aggressive in the turns.  Back in Sept. we were teasing new SERG owner who said they did not scrape in turns as not riding hard.  I do ride hard and have yet to scrape anything in a turn (other than a bell hanging from the frame).  Coming up on 2K miles and am very glad I got one!

Let's see: 01 SERG, 01 Heritage, 01 Ultra, 05 SEEF, 09 SERG. Hands down the best handling and most stable Harley I've ever owned. 4,000 miles and I STILL haven't touched down a hard part.

Looks like that's pretty unanimous.....and a good report.  Maybe they've finally corrected that issue.

Marty, after this weekend, Terrie's looking at the possability of trading her Dyna in on a Street Glide.  Of course I'm pushing her to go with the 09 for the new frame, ABS and cruise control.  Sure would make life easier for her.

To add this JC,
The economy sucks.
Dealers are ready to deal.
Ask for 20% off on all parts for 1 year.
Have them throw in the LoJack. (with pager)
An 09 is the only way to go.

But have to ask, how tall is Terrie?
Those new ones sit high!
But Jim has Arnott's.

The difference between my 07 RG and my 09SERG is HUGE!  Love the 09!

JC, The street glide is lower then the ultra, she might fit well on it...

Thanks Marty.  We went down night before last....just lookin.  I think we'd only have to change the seat (narrower cut and maybe a little closer) and leave the shocks a stock length.  It's her decision and she's let me know on more than one occassion....that she's more than capable of making up her own mind.

that she's more than capable of making up her own mind.

 I know the feeling I get out voted all the time

 Marty = 1 voting power
 Paula = 2 voting power

This is the third FL series motorcycle I've owned and I love the handling response .  Its much quicker reacting and nimbler than the previous frame. I will say that it did take a couple of weeks to get used to the quickness, but now its great.

HD screws up plenty of stuff but this frame they did good.

cheers
