I see that they still don't have color matched frames on the CVO Ultras.  What's up with that? 

The painted frames would probably show the oil stains too easily?

Ernie, I like this 09 SEUC paint scheme; a lot.  And that's after having been underwhelmed by the prior three years.  The red looks amazing in the pictures too.  But not doing three touring bikes.  And the two here now aren't going anyplace.  So I'll have to bum rides on someone elses new SEUC .

That red would match up nice w/your SERG. Heh, you don't have to get rid of anything Parker is going to need her own CVO soon might as well buy it now while the colors match up to what's in the garage.

How do you think they're getting "increased tire life"!!!!!!!  A little oil makes a tire last a long time!  That's the reason for the under cross exhaust- helps keep the tire hot, so the oil will soak in!

Nah, oil tends to attack rubber so that's not it.   What I'm hoping is that they've changed the rear engine/trans/swingarm mount to eliminate the squirm/wobble.  They can't say anything about eliminating the wobble, since they refuse to admit it exists, so improved tire life will have to do for now.  All I care is that they finally updated their 30 year old frame design; now we'll see how much of an improvement it is.

Maybe they used an "under frame" exhaust mount to stiffen the rear?  Dual purpose.

I'm diggin those wheels, they looks pretty good for a moco wheel.  I wish we could get a better pic of the grey / blue combo

Looks as if they added windshield chrome trim.

Thanks for the photos of the '09 CVO's... I still can't get into all sections of the H-D website and was glad to have a peek.

I'm not a red guy at all, so that rules out 2 of the Ultra's leaving only the blue & silver which is just OK... I think I'll stick with my Duracell for another year.

The new exhaust system looks interesting.  I wonder if it will help with the heat.  I noticed that they now come with heat shields as standard equipment.  I also wonder with the new headers if you can use a center stand???

By the way (touch wood) I have over 12,000 on my Duracell and not a single drop of oil!  Just thought I would throw that out there.

Thanks again for the photos.

Take care,
Grizzly

I like the red.  WTF are Forge Tone Graphics??  Now if they get the 110 right they may have something.  In the meantime my trusty old SEEG will have to do.

The 2009 Harley-Davidson CVO Ultra Classic Electra Glide is priced at $35,499, and $35,699 in California, and seen here in Ruby Red and Typhoon Maroon with Forge-tone graphics.

I've already got that bike...........

Didn't they mention new engine mounting points?

Hey Mike:

"Newly styled foot controls and heated hand grips are called by the name Rumble Collection, which includes windshield trim, mirrors and saddlebag latches."

[iski]

Didn't they mention new engine mounting points?

Yes they did. Planning to look at this on a bike first chance I get.  With the 08's as an example, doubt anything can be retrofitted to my 07 from the mounts on an 09.

Still no counterbalanced motor in the touring models.

What were they thinking about when they put the grey inserts in the seat?
It will only look good on the silver bike and only if it matches the color on the
bike. The red one looks to be the best looking color, but I will reserve final
judgement until I see the other colors in person.
