Hi all. Delighted to share that today I put down a deposit for a new 2011 Road Glide Ultra CVO (Reo Red & Black). Will pick up in a few weeks (or have delivered/store with dealer depending on weather her in NJ) after mods done. I sold my BMW LT in the fall and have now crossed over. Having rented HD on a few fly-rides and had the chance to try a friend's CVO I knew it was time. I often ride 2 up with my wife and wanted ultra or custom with tour pak added. Was delighted yesterday to find a new CVO RG Ultra in local dealer showroom alongside a 2012 Road Glide Custom (Black/white). Agonized over both bikes, test riding both today solved it. Being 6'2" the fit on the ultra was great, not so on the custom - low and uncomfortable and although I liked the look of the black cockpit in the showroom, riding behind the black with black bars just didn't do it for me. Loving the chrome on the ultra and happy there's no skulls.
Advice on initial mods most welcome. At the dealer, we agreed to add highway pegs, the highest wind splitter windshield (15"?), and the George Anderson relo kit - to give passenger more room. Now at home I'm seeing that highway pegs are shown as standard on web pics/reviews. Am I right that the salesman missed this and they'll be with the stuff that comes with the bike, just not fitted? Should they be included already?
Also, with my height, the stock windshield didn't do much for me. Will the splitter shield work or should I look for something else? I ride with a full face helmet.
Excited to get riding, today was in the high 50's but I know that won't last so need to be patient. Thanks to all for posts, I think I read most of them when comparing ultra and custom RG. Appreciate any advice offered.
