DesertHOG · « **on:** February 12, 2011, 11:46:11 PM »

When I bought my CVO Road Glide Ultra I thought it had just about every kind of toy and gadget that there was for a Harley plus a 110ci motor. I was truly in HOG HEAVEN. Then I found a website called CVOHarley.com and I found out that buying a CVO was only the first step in a long journey.

In the rest of this posting you'll find pictures of a heavily modified CVO Road Glide Ultra. Some folks think I am nuts for modifying a CVO - "Dude, you're messing with the resale value!". However, the way I figure it, I plan on owning this bike for at least 7-8 years and plan on riding around 15k or so mile every year. Why not make it unique to me and my experience on motorcycles.

Therefore, I present to you my TOUR'N Screamin' Eagle CVO Road Glide Ultra

Paint and Custom Body work by Danny Bally (www.dannybally.net)
First, Harley forgot to put Eagles on my fairing. I don't know why but every other CVO RG has Eagles on the fairing and now mine does too.

Second, I love the bagger look with the wide rear end and extended saddlebags. I've seen a lot of nice work out there but nothing quite of the detail that has been put into the rear end of this bike.

Third, I really have enjoyed touring America for the last 3 years on my old '07 RG and my new '11 SERGU. I decided to celebrate motorcycle touring with the pictures you see below on the TourPak, fender and saddlebags of places I have visited. All of the pictures were taken by me with minimal artistic license, Eagles excluded

I really want to thank Danny Bally for taking my concept and giving it a beautiful life on this bike.

Finally, attached to this message is the final dyno run chart. While the Torque (105ft-lbs max) and HP (104hp max) around 3k don't look that great, I assure you that this bike RUNS. Since the Dyno Chart shows results of a wide open throttle it is kind of irrelevant since I won't be anywhere near wide open at 3k.

So my project is done for now. I am really happy with the results and plan to have this bike for a long time. I hope to see some of you during my travels this coming year and future years.

My immediate bike run plans are as follows.

Arizona Bike Week - April 1 - April 3
http://www.azbikeweek.com/
Amarillo, TX CVOHarley GTG -April 9,10
http://www.cvoharley.com/smf/index.php?topic=58085.0

Here are some additional pictures of the rear end work as it progressed along the way from a concept and some parts to the full effect you see in these pictures.

Good job Simon looking forward to seeing it in my rearview mirrors at the Amarillo GTG the second weekend in April.

You've definitely made it your "Custom".

RedDevil · « **Reply #41 on:** February 13, 2011, 11:47:56 AM »

The bike looks great! Nice job on "making it yours".

In looking at your dyno chart though, the Torque comes on way too late in my opinion. I don't ever hang around 4200 rpms. That's a good thing to know on those S&S cams, because those are the ones that my dealer was trying to get me to put in. I'd never realize their potential with them with the TQ coming on so late. I prefer something that will start coming on at around 2700 and peak at about 3500rpms....but that's just me.

You did an absolutely outstanding job on creating a one-of-a-kind custom

That is amazing what you did with the rear lights!!!

Looks great, could you tell me which windshield you have on it?

Most of the pictures show a Clearviews that was modified/trimmed to work with the handlebars.
I have since switched to a tall National V-Stream which also allows the mirrors to clear and the fork to lock and does look "cut".
So before you ask about buffeting and whatever, I will say that the V-stream works just as well as the Clearviews for me.
At 90+ mph I don't think any windshield is going to work fantastic. Nor will they work with crosswinds.
I will say that I recently rode a stock FLTR from Austin, TX to Albuquerque, NM and I found that I felt the wind more
on the FLTR than on my FLTRUSE. I think the wind deflectors and the lowers on the FLTRUSE really help out the wind situation quite a bit.

When the dealer did engine mods on the wife's Deluxe I got a torque curve similar to yours and I took it back. I do not believe a large v-twin should ever have a deep drop from 2-3G. That kind of performance reminds me of the two cycle dirt bikes of the 70s where you had to red line them to get "on peak". I rode a friends SG yesterday and it had no power till 3500.

Not for me. I'd say wrong cam or not enough back pressure.

You know the curve looks like chit but the bike runs great. The curve is 5th gear and wide open throttle. I don't run wide open when I am in the 2.2-3.2k rpm range. I think the chart is just a point in time under one set of parameters and doesn't reflect the way the machine behaves.

Love it!

You've done an incredible job DH at creating a truly one of a kind custom CVO!

Enjoy & ride safe.

I do believe that the way it feels is more important than numbers on the graph. Enjoy what I think is the best bike on the planet. Long live the SERG!

The rear end is doing great.. got 35k on it and still provides a solid and comfortable ride. The front end took some adjusting from my HD tech as he had never worked with it before this install. He got close the 2nd time. I think if I had it to do over again I would get the front end done by Traxxion, as they have experience - expensive but supposed to be the best.
