Awesome looking bike............. great choice, and congratulations!!!! So far what are your overall impressions?
Again, my impressions are based on a comparison to my old 2007 FLTR.
Riding this CVO Ultra Road Glide is a dream. I'd say the comfort of ride is improved for me by at least 100% perhaps 200%. A couple of specifics on performance of the bike from a big guy perspective;
1. Riding in the mountains I was able to easily pull away from a friend on his 08 Ultra Classic. It was truly effortless. For comparison, he's running a 96ci but also weighs about 150lbs less than me.
2. On straight aways, pulling 110mph in 5th gear was a snap.
3. Had my wife on the back in the mountains, about 160lbs over recommended gross weight, and pulled up to 70mph on short straights without issue. Even did 90mph in 5th gear on the highway with her as passenger.
4. Handling in the curves is much improved over my 2007 and is probably due to the frame changes in the 2009 and later models.
Conclusion, I am just really impressed with the ride of this CVO. It's like the bike doesn't give a damn how much I weigh. It's my dream bike come true to life.
