A Great BIG CVO Welcome to you and your lovely wife. I have heard it said here that the family who rides together, stays together. Actually, I think I've said that. You are going to love your new CVO Ultra.
Surprised that your wife would move from riding an ultra to riding a deluxe. The other way around would seem to be the order of business, but you gotta do what you gotta do to feel comfortable with your ride. I have short legs too, so understand about wanting a bike with a low center of gravity.

Hey Candy, that DeLux is sooo much easier to manuver for a short/slight person, esp. in hilly/unsure surface terrain.......it's the lower center of gravety that the softtail has and no fairing/weight on the handlebars. I'm sure that's why she feels much more assured riding it. I speak with experience since I switch back and forth between the two bikes.
