-27F here and 3ft of snow put a crimp on my riding. And it's -27F not counting windchill

Here's a pic of my CVO, which I took delivery of before Christmas.

Have been laid up ill virtually since I took delivery, so haven't taken any out on a ride yet.

Not good having a shiny new bike in the shed and not being able to ride her.

Sorry to hear you have been unwell Ginger. It looks like you have SE mufflers on the bike. Did you also change the headers?

Yes, I put a set of Street Cannons on. No change to the headers, just some fiddling with the tune via a SE Street Performance Tuner.

Sounds nice, hopefully quiet enough not to attract attention.

My 09 CVO Ultra was extremely hot especially in Aussie conditions. I fitted Jackpot headers and it helped a little. I am hoping the new liquid cooled heads make a bigger difference. I test rode a 103 Limited and it had very little heat coming off the engine so I am hoping the 110's are the same. I will probably fit headers to reduce the heat but I am interested to hear from Limited owners to know if the heat is still an issue with the 110's.

Mate, not having owned one before I am probably not the one to comment. I rode the bike in 33 degrees the other day and the right foot was getting a bit warm in traffic, but ok at highway speeds, not much worse than my BMW boxer in fact (which does both feet). Ironically the heat is less of an issue with thick touring boots rather than with the ventilated Alpine Star short boots I normally wear on day rides.

I was still in agony this morning but went out anyway, here is a pic to wet your appetite.

It sounds like the new water heads are cooler. You noticed the heat constantly with the 09. My wife refused to pillion on the bike because it was so hot. Great photo. Looks a bit like the hinterland around the Sunshine Coast?

My wife doesn't like pillioning in Summer on any bike, particularly after one trip back from the Snowies when we hit the Putty Rd one stinking day arriving at Singleton with 43 degrees on the gauge. As a couple, we tend to do night rides up to places like Mooloolaba in Summer and keep the longer trips for the middle of the year, although I still ride on my own all year round. Don't get me wrong, you are always aware that here is a fire going on underneath you, I just don't think its an issue unless maybe idling in traffic on a 30+ day, which I don't make a habit of anyway.

You are right, pic was taken on a particular nice twisty road that runs up from Woodford to Maleny. Just started to rain as I was taking the shots, so she's been christened now!

Just what I thought when I saw the pic! 

[springsure88]

I know the road and if I'm not mistaken there is a nice restaurant not far from where you are parked. My daughter and son in law live in Mooloolaba just down the hill.

Anyone with new pictures of their scooter?  I'm about ready to pull the trigger and purchase one, but cannot decide on the color.  All three colors are nice, but...

Thanks for any help.

LOVIN THE RED!!!!!

I'm wondering why they all leave the factory with the air cleaner off the horizontal.  Offensive to my perfectionist, obsessive compulsive eye!

Went blue for now

x2 for Blue

I like the blue...but does the bottom really look purple in the sunlight?

Thanks
