I traded my 07 cuse2 for one one last week. The ride is noticeably smoother, better cornering, and no more smell of burnt flesh when sitting at a traffic light! The stock pipes are a bit throatier than the sewing machines of the past, a pair of slip-ons may be all it needs for more growl. The Black Ice pops out in the sunlight, a lot of flake in the paint. Not as much bling as the CVO, but some nice touches, and a lot less money. I noticed a little less power running through the N.C. mountains, but it is still stock, I was used to the Rineharts and race tuner with no tour pak on the 110. Compared the specs to my husband's 04 FLHTCSE, they are nearly identical as far as compression, stroke, bore and torque. At 1400 miles, I'm satisfied.....so far.
