Well finally traded the 2011 RG. Had it up to 60,000 miles it had needed several repairs and it was time
Been working a deal since October as my dealer had 4 left over 2016 CVO RGultras. A week didn't go by without a call from them and the deal finally got done. Picked it up last weekend. 2016 RGU CVO in silver got a great deal JMO, the numbers worked and the 11 is gone.
New bike runs great. The 6.5 radio is amazing blooteef I can take and make calls if I want text gps. Heck probably can launch a rocket lol Got about 250 miles on it so far.
Ordered new CVO power cores from Fulsac, I could have moved the 11's but didn't want to mess
with it, kept the Fulsac header, it needs to be freshened up, need to get it recoated where its got a bit of rust from road debris. Maybe I'll just sand it and hit it with high temp paint in those areas.
Have to order new CD dynamic rings for the front since HD changed the connectors.
May have a set of the older style (pre 16) dynamic rings for sale if a friend doesn't
take them first.
I considered the M8, but by the time I added exhaust (can't move the header) a tuner, heated grips and seat (yeah we do use them in FL when it gets below 73) chrome floorboards, pegs, forks I would eat up the difference on the 16 and still have a base 17 RGU with bolt ons that are worth nothing. Just bit the bullet and got the 16, I'll ride it a few years and if HD comes out with an M8 CVO RG then move to it at the end of that model year.
Obviously I don't have to be the first in line for a new models, used to, but then I got older and it isn't as important...
