First Ride CVO M8 Road Glide
« Reply #15 on: June 28, 2018, 09:13:33 PM »

After 640 miles I must say Lowers are needed...that wind beat my legs up over 75mph...had my legs shaking at 90Plus. Looking at the lowers for RG thresh now.

Also the M8 engine is super quiet and very responsive. 6th gear 3500 rpms crusing at 95mph with a passenger. Gas was burned quickly tho lol.::

I did manage 110 mph and at full throttle it was not moving from that...

Had mine up to 125 mph and it had plenty more to go!

The M8 bikes are governed to 107 mph.  5th or 6th 107 mph is it, unless you add an after market tuner capable of removing it.

You indicated 110 sounds about right as HD speedometer always indicate faster than your going unless you calibrate the speedometer with a tuner.

No comma port but on the website it says it’s standard.

I am guessing your dealer did not do a good job explaining your bike at delivery.  It came with one Harley wireless head set, the BOOM 20S.   The bike also has an installed WHIM, Wireless Headset Interface Module. 

This set up lets you talk on the phone, or give voice commands to the bike.  If you get a second head set you have intercom with your passenger.

I'm going to ask a question for which I think I already know the answer but here it goes. Can you intercom between an HD Sena 20S and a regular Sena 20s?

My understanding is yes, the Sena 20's is completely comparable except music will be in mono from the BOOM.  All other function will work correctly with BOOM.

I can confirm that my 10S did not pair with the HD Whim.
