LED lights... they are bright without a doubt. Mine need to be adjusted to suit my liking. As they are right now they are just ok, not great. If I were running HID's I wouldn't change them out in anticipation of more light, a different light pattern yes. Again once they are adjusted I'll let you know what I think of them. Right now they aren't out far enough for me to rip through the corners. I found myself cornering in the dark as the lights weren't where they needed to be. The light itself is bright and white. I like the hi beam as it spreads a nice wide pattern. The low beam is not as wide which would be nice for those who live in more of a city environment. For once I didn't have oncoming cars flashing their lights at me, I'll change that  ;) .

Hidden antenna.....Having been through multiple hidden and short versions of antenna's this one rates somewhere in the middle. It is better than any of the other hidden antenna's I've used, It's better than the short billet and short rubber antenna's I've tried. It isn't as goos as the whip or even the Ford Focus antenna I was running on my 01. I've been running the roads in my area for 22 years so I know what stations I can get where. The hidden antenna worked but marginally. Somewhere along the line I'll install another Ford Focus antenna.

Handling.... I am coming from a 01 with all of the assorted stabilizers and bushings available. This bike out handles my 01 ten fold. I found myself rolling through the corners at a pace better suited for my 1125 Buell.

There have been a few changes to the position and height of the fairing over the years and they did a great job. I purposely followed trucks on the highway and I could not get the buffeting I use to get, the bike was rock solid steady. I could only imagine what this bike would be like with a good aftermarket suspension.

The height of the windshield combined with the wind deflectors on the crash bar along with the fairing change kept me from getting any wind buffeting around my helmet. For me the combination is great with my half helmet on. I'm going to try it again with my 3/4  and full face helmets.

Wow, thanks for all the pics.  You have a great camera but the subject sure helped.  I think the Orange is beginning to grow on me...still keeping Ginger but do like the color.  Thanks for the commentary on the ride/handling, too.  You have a great, new bike there Puzzled... :bananarock:

Last year I liked all of the CVO Streetglide colors.  This year all of the CVO Roadglide colors look great.  My top pick of the Roadglides would be yours.  Great combination

Wooooohooooo ! !

Thank you for this!  Great pictures, great info, great BIKE !

Man, that is good loooooking !

Does it say "Harley Davidson" on the windshield or underneath on the bike somehow?  That is cool!
Or is that a reflection?  What am I looking at??
It on page 2, last pic.
