When you pay over list for an outdated model, I just wish I would have kept the 20G I paid plus my 95 inch Ultra, for an nonfunctional touring bike. I agree the bike is very cool, but look at what you have to do to it to make it what it should have been! It's supposed to be a touring bike. It's half way there. I've had hopped up Evos that could knock the dog squatting piss out of my bike. You need new heads, new cams, new pipes, new ignitions, an aftermarket aircleaner kit, what ever else- just to have it run right. -It seems that it's almost impossible to find an exhaust system that is reasonably quiet- yet allowes the engine to breath enough to make a reasonable 100 hp/tq. My old '00 Ultra was a much better bike. It had an MP3 plug in to the stereo. My stereo is still screwed up, and it's been replaced once. The dealer said they have had a lot of problems with the system in the new bikes. This is my 7th Electra Glide, I've loved most of them, but for a CVO this bike doesn't measure up. I'll probably put a gear drive cam system in it and give up on finding what I wish HD would make. -Like I've said before, too bad the MoCo doesn't give us what we want. I'll also have to spring for a Baker 6 speed tranny. Oh well, I still have my '01 Heritage Classic with big bore, Branch heads, S&S gear drive cams, 45 mm Mikuni carb, White Bros. E series 2-1 exhaust, etc. that I can really enjoy when I want to ride a "real" motorcycle.
On a positive note, the extra chrome is nice.
