I still think a lot is wind.   We drove back from Durango to Tulsa at Avg 80 on I-40, lots of trucks.  I found if I leaned forward and tried to get even with the windshield (oxy-moron) that I could smooth out the turbulance.  It worked pretty good.  Something you can experiment with, but I still feel like it should be better when going into turns and it gets a little grisley at 85 and 90 without trucks.  I see no harm in adding the stra8 fitment if I can reduce the wobble.  I kept checking my tire pressures since I had to plug a flat early in the trip.

With the rubber mounts, etc., it makes sense that the alignment will change at different torque levels.  I didn't think anything about it till I read this forum.  You guys are spending my money for me faster than I can ride.

Happy does not describe the feelings I have for my banana.  It is more like the puppy love I had for my first girlfriend.  I don't like to let anyone sit on the thing, no one else has gotten to ride it and I have let many people ride my other bikes and drive my cars including porsches and vettes.   I constantly remind my maid to walk around the thing in the garage and remind everyone who gets near it not to touch.  Don't even really like when other people look at it to long.  Strange reaction for a guy who has had all the toys for a long time but I guess that is the Harley mystique in spades.  This site has made the whole thing a hell of a lot more fun for me and I want to thank all of you for being here and posting your thoughts.  Put me in the happy camper colomn on this one.   [smiley=divers009.gif] [smiley=ons_1.gif] [smiley=vrolijk_26.gif] [smiley=banana.gif]  Be safe and enjoy the journey.  JP

Just turned 12,000 miles last night. I love the bike but I still have some issues to address before I run out of the 2 year warrenty.  I have had a Road Glide in the past and they do seem more stable in the wind but the EG is not bad until you get to very high speeds. DelNel [smiley=beerchug.gif]

I am very happy with the SEEG and would do it again. And that's all I have to say about that.

3 weeks on the new bike.  Had to leave it at HD for a warranty item and had to ride the Heritage yesterday.  No comparison.  I will never own anything but CVO touring bikes!
