What else should I be thinking about?
« on: January 01, 2013, 05:50:08 PM »

Hi All,

First, I want to say that this forum is great!! I've been reading posts for the past year while I was talking myself into stepping up to a CVO Ultra Classic. Now, my 2013 Typhoon Maroon SEUC is two weeks away. :) I've been scouring this site looking for ideas of what I'm going to want to do when it arrives.

So far, I'm having the dealer replace the stock exhaust with V&H Power Duals, V&H Twin Slash Round slip-ons, and they're adding a Super Tuner Pro kit? to set up the bike for the new exhaust, before I pick it up. I've ordered a George Anderson TourPak relocation plate, an Ultra-Brace to replace the TP tether, and Brukus saddlebag and seat security hardware to lock that stuff down.

This is only my second Harley (moving up from a 2011 Heritage) and I'm very much a rookie when it comes to knowing what I need to know. I would appreciate any suggestions, recommendations, or comments that will will help me enjoy my new bike.

Thanks,

Joe

Hi Stu,

I bought a CVO because it comes loaded and I wouldn't need anything else (at least that's what I told my wife ;)). It hasn't got here yet and I've spent about $2000. Oh well, I'm spoiled and I'm not afraid to admit it! I feel like a six year old waiting for Santa. I've been riding since the 70's and have never been this excited about a bike.

Hi tHunDer,

I was reading some threads about suspension upgrades last night. Definitely something on my radar. Thanks.

I hope you have a large balance in your checkbook because there are a lot of things you "NEED" for that bike!!

Hi tHunDer,


I did the same thing about 8 months and 10 grand ago...
P.S. My wife never believed me in the first place

My wife didn't believe me either. She was amazed at all the stuff I "needed" for my Heritage but, this time she knows better.

That's funny stuff I told my wife the same thing, and she saw right through it!!!
