I am a convert from a full Granny Glide... To the HD original colours orange and black CVO Street Glide. I really liked the look of the new CVO Ultra in the Cherry red and black flames, and had one been available I might have done it but made the box removable when running solo... BUT:
The SESG sold me with the extended boxes around the exhaust, and the lowered look. I am adding the CVO Passing Lights onto my SESG and already have V&H headers, and a modded Super Trap Mufflers with O discs and inverted cone opened for a trumpet ended exhaust that is loud and low.... I can upgrade the SESG to a full Tourer if I want, with a docking station and a black back box so I have not lost anything.
My feeling is that my 2011 SESG seems to handle better.... Anybody get that feeling? I almost downgraded a full Ultra Tourer to a Street Glide, and now am thinking I am better off with the SG upgrade to Tourer if I want that top box.
It is more than just the absence of the back box weight and windage, it seems to handle on the curves better. Is it just that there is no air shock suspension?
The rear tyre of my 2011 Ultra Classic EG was wider, but the CVO SESG seems to hang into the curves better and tracks better..... Like even on the straight: Look Ma, no hands... Easy peazy....
Anyone else get that feeling the SESG handles better? I stumbled into this with luck, but now think the Street Glide is just better even if one wanted the full Tourer Pack. Anyone else experience this?
