[Major Tom]

Major Tom was gracious to offer his '15 CVORGU (1,300 mi.) when he and Lovely Lenda stopped by on their way to The Keys in March.

'Having not had a chance to ride a Rushmore yet, I jumped at the opportunity! (I tried to act nonchalant, but I was  ) So "The Ball & Chain" and I jumped on.

I haven't been this impressed with a stock Harley since the '05 SEEG!

The '15 is superior to my '09 (when stock) and my Bud's Skunk (when stock) in every category!!! I just reference these as other CVO Road Glides, I have ridden several pre-Rushmore CVO Ultras, and many flavors of non CVO Touring Harleys since '01... I'd be curious to hear from the folks stepping off of the '11 CVORGUs

The Motor; quiet, smooth, plenty of linear power, awesome throttle response, even being the hot-rodder that I can be, I wouldn't change a thing! We only got it up to 90, it was still pulling effortlessly. Transmission is very quiet and smooth, as is the rest of the drivetrain. Tom went to see Doc (TTS, Dyno of course, Fullsac Header) on his way to The Keys, I can only imagine...

The Ride / Handling is as good or probably better than the '09 (HD Premium F&R), with only the rear air shocks holding it back a little. Overall, the smoothest, best handling (stock) bagger that I have ridden. Tom is in process of putting on the HD Premium rears...

  The sun came out, my riding Buds are calling, gotta' get some Breeze...
I'll be back...

The Linked Brakes are great, seamless...
 
The Aero is great, nothing but clean air up to 90, the way it felt, it doesn't seem that there would be any degradation at triple digit speeds...

The stereo sounded great, I wouldn't change a thing! The Ball & Chain liked it also. We both enjoyed MTs taste in music Did not play with any other functions of the Infotainment... Tom mentioned the AVC not working properly.

The comfort was good (just a little cramped on the legroom for me ~ 34 inseam) "The Ball & Chain" loved it. The fit, finish, quality materials, are all there.

Rushmore Bags / TourPak, What's not to love??? Same with the lighting...

'Didn't get to use The Central Locking System (no key fork lock) once you get familiar with it, if works like it's supposed to, it should be the Deal.

As I have mentioned to some of y'all, the '05 SEEG is a benchmark Harley for me, it is a very well rounded motorcycle that operates (from the factory) as a sorted package. In spite of what I've done with the '09, it's the badass Factory vehicles that have always rung my bell... 

IMO The '15 CVORGU is the new king in my book, (reliability TBD as the time/miles progress) it does everything better, much better... It's All There... A well sorted package that raises the bar for Touring Motorcycles...

Greg,

Where did you order the EZ Brake lever from?  I must have missed it if you said earlier.

[gadgetz]

Sure is yellow.

I sure do like that license plate Greg. Is there an old thread where someone described how install that? 

[dooinit2u]

Very easy to install, Gadgetz...

[gadgetz]

Thank you Sir! 

[FLSTFI Dave]

Mounted.

Finally have all parts for the tour pack detach and plate transfer thanks to Dave.  Will get on that soon.

Looks good.  Much better than the one that comes on the bike.  My stock one is in a box.

Gadgetz,  The part dooinit2u used is from Kuryakyn, comes with instructions and is plug and play.  In early 2009, I leaned from posts here and improvised.  Here is the old way:  Re: SERG AND CVO: VERY GOOD TO ME! NEXT?.  If you read a couple of pages, you'll see what guys did. 

[GregKhougaz]

Okay, this is worth a laugh.  On 4/7, I ordered from Revzilla the Custom Dynamics run / break / turn module that Dave had suggested in his thread.  The USPS tracking site said the "expected delivery"  would be 4/11.  On the 15th, I contacted Revzilla because I had still not received the item. They initiated an investigation. On April 23, I finally received the box in which the item was supposed to be.  Here is what I received.   

So, the thief was not only dishonest but sick enough to pull a prank by inserting a doll into the box and putting it back out for delivery.

Maybe he mistook the intended recipient as/for Bruce Jenner... just sayin'

Seriously though... that is FU!!!

That is kind of funny, but I would be pissed.

What does Revzilla say now?  I know it's not their fault, but will they or the shipping company make it right?
