going on Friday to possibly buy a 11...any of you new owners have any input on the Bike....comfort, wind buffering, performance???...etc....thanks

[LarryB]

have the dealer check neck bearings

man after reading all the problems on the 11's.... i may need to keep my old 04... seems like quality control has gone to crap

[RedDevil]

Don't regret buying mine at all.  Just had the 1k done on it and it works great.  I had some cosmetic issues, scratches on the inner fairing behind the speedo pod, and water rings under the clear coat on the tank, but those issues were taken care of (inner fairing and tank replaced).  Bike is very comfortable, rides like a dream, and as I'm 6'4" tall, there is a little more wind buffeting than I get on the SESG, but not enough to be unhappy with it.  Love the iPod setup and the new boom audio speakers sound great!   Very happy with my "Silent Gray Fellow".

there was a SE Ultra Classic sitting beside the Glide and  it also had a ring mark on the gas tank and swirl marks on the fairing, the buffering is one thing i am worried about, i get alot of wind on my Electra Glide, but its not turbulent/dirty air my glasses dont shake...i had a 09 Street Glide and could'nt ride over 50 to 55...felt like someone was slapping me up side the head..(wasn't the bride) tried  4 windshields/fork baffle nothing worked..sold it...it's really strange how air flow is diff on bikes with the same fairing

As tall as I am, I get buffeting to a certain extent on both my SE Street Glide and my SE Road Glide.  But like I said, no eyeglass shaking or head knocking type of buffeting.  I've had both the SESG and SEURG up to over 85 and no problems.  Just a little more on the SEURG.

I was not in the market for a new bike as I was on a 09 Ultra Classic that was a rider 28000 miles in 14 months and thought it could not get any better.  I bought the RGUSE because I feel in love on the showroom floor,   Ivory / Gold and had to have it.   Took the bike in for a 1000-mile service and the “wobble” and was given an 11 Ultra Classic loaner.  Getting on UC  was like a scooter, it is cramped, very unresponsive and the ride is so affected by the wind, I am amazed.  I bought due to color, but now I am a convert, believer and a disciple of the “FUGLY” Shark crowd.  Have had no issues other than the wobble and they will get that resolved.    I too am “VERY HAPPY”

I have an 11 SERG. It is my 10th bike, 6th harley, 3rd Road Glide.  It is ALMOST as smooth as my K120OLT and Gold Wings -- almost.  Add the right size windshield and attach the HD wind deflectors.  You will love it. Of course, don't forget that stage 1 !!!!!

what size shield did you opt for & where do you mount the deflectors on the Glide?

[inflatableman]

I am 6' 1" and ended up with a Clearview GT Medium and the RGUSE comes with the Harley wind deflectors. 

[ultrafxr]

I am 5' 9" and I find the ergonomics of my CVO RG Ultra just fine.  I have almost 3k on it and it is smooth as silk and thankfully I have not experienced the dreaded wobble (and hope I never do!).  Maybe because I am not tall I find the windshield just fine - no buffeting to speak of.  My only concern is that in the summer's heat there is no adjustable wings like on the ultra to direct air flow over the rider.  But hopefully that won't be too big a problem.  The seat is very comfortable for me.  All in all a good job by the moco on this one.

A bunch of small issues at the start but love it handles like a dream and all the bells and whistles 2 months and all is good

[icufltrn]

I have 3500 miles on mine and haven't had any issues. Do a lot of commuting to work on the highway and no buffeting to speak of. Even at 80 and all the way up to 110

[DesertHOG]

I have 10k+ on my RGUSE. I love my RGUSE. I traded my '07 FLTR. The ride on this RGUSE is twice as good as my '07 if not more.
Regarding buffeting, I'm 6'3" and went to a Clearviews that I got from a friend. It's improves things but it's a motorcycle and I like the wind.
If I want to get rid of the wind altogether, I'll drive my car.

LOVE MY RGUSE!!!
