 I absolutely hate the new fob. I like the old one with the button.   Added LED lights, very nice. Added the retractable tour pack teather, very nice. Full Hog Tunes, very loud and nice indeed.  Most important will be the addition if lots of miles this summer. Cheers.

I'm a fan of the black and chrome "agitator" wheels on my 2010 SESG while others love the all chrome version.

I also love the Tequila Sunrise paint scheme  :2vrolijk_21:

The original seat was a real let down being that it seperated from the tank while sitting.

CVO key, a waste.

Vance and Hines power chamber headers with the high output 4+" slip ons mated with the quite baffels.  Still some bark but not at the expense of my hearing  ;D

The HD LED headlight is great but the price was insanely inflated.

MKW - Count me on the mirror chrome Agitator fans. I don't like the contrast at all but not enough to justify paying to swap them.

Best mods so far - WO apes, VH Power Duals

Worst Mod - Not sold on the V&H Monster Rounds, thinking of going louder

I have the LED headlight, Ness mirrors and Boom Bagger Amp sitting in the garage waiting to get installed. One of these could end up in one of these categories.  :P

BEST: pretty much anything I've replaced or added... Corbin DualTour flamed leather seat with rider and passenger backrests, Long Rider 6" smoked recurve windshield, Drago's Bike Works S/C/S-4 2-1 exhaust, Andrews 54H cams, Wild 1 Chubbys 575 bars, TTS, Cometic .030" MLS head gaskets, Traxxion Dynamics AK-20 Cartridge Forks, Chrome Front Brake Calipers, Road Tech 665 with XM, Auxiliary Lamps, Color-matched Tour Pak, Paul Yaffe curved license plate frame, etc etc etc...

Worst: H-D stock 2012 SESG seat (the FIRST thing I got rid of), H-D stock exhaust (the SECOND thing I got rid of - first with a Fullsac X-Pipe, and recently with the Drago's S/C/S-4), H-D stock SE255 cams (the THIRD thing I got rid of), H-D stock windshield (the FOURTH thing I got rid of), H-D stock bars (the FIFTH thing I got rid of), H-D stock forks (got rid of THOSE recently), H-D stock .055" nasty-azz head gaskets, H-D stock flat black front brake calipers...

There seems to be a TREND here...  :drink:

Best thing I can do (besides exhaust, spkrs, susp.: 4 point docking hardware
Worst thing they did: Amp under tp (should have one in the fairing to begin with, they knew folks were going to go the detach tp route.)

MKW,

The best color CVO SG yet made in my opinion. Although the 2011 Inferno Orange model is a close second.  ;D

scttgr8, beautiful bike  :2vrolijk_21:  Looking at it got me thinking.............why didn't Harley make provisions for a riders backrest on the SESG and SERG this year?  I know purest would say "the backrest screws-up the look" and "if you wanted a backrest get the ultra"  I have a backrest on my 2010 SESG and love it.  Removes in 2 seconds if needed  ;)

Because they are douchebags with hot-shot 22-year-olds in Milwaukee designing seats, maybe??? The AVERAGE AGE of a CVO buyer is 54... NOT 22! The FIRST mod I made was getting RID of the AWFUL, USELESS stock FLHXSE3 seat. Actually, that's not true... the FIRST mod I made was the Fullsac X-Pipe and 2" baffles (since replaced by the Drago's S/C/S-4 2-1), Andrews 54 cams, a TTS MasterTune, and a good tune - ALL of which happened with less than 300 miles on the odo.

The SECOND thing I got rid off was the AWFUL, USELESS stock FLHXSE3 seat... and that's only because it took awhile to find a replacement... I went through THREE seats before I found the Corbin DualTour I have now... with rider AND passenger backrests, and the matching Tour Pak passenger backrest. THIS seat is what SHOULD have come "stock"...

BTW, if anyone wants the AWFUL, USELESS stock FLHXSE3 seat, PM me. i'm getting ready to put it AND the sissy bar on the Marketplace here. I will NEVER have them on Buster... I'm WAY TOO OLD to deal with THAT chit!

I couldn't have said it better!  You know Willie G didn't design it because there were no skulls to be found  ;D  I like the engine and exhaust mods.

Worst: HD installed Ipod. I hardly ever use it on the bike, but use it a lot off the bike.

Best: I installed the Sirius/XM and love it. I rarely loose the signal. I just bought a Ford F-350 that came with Sirius/XM and got a discount for the second system.
