09 FLTRSE3 Review
I have the silver. It gets a lot of looks. Speed excellent. Shift points better than any harley I've owned. Stock seat adequate for rider inadequate for passenger. Touring bike with passenger pegs not well thought out. Seems like most of us are using them for highway pegs and buying passenger floorboards. Windscreen: a decoration
I won't gripe about what comes stock on the cvo ultra verses this bike since the price of the two bikes reflects that difference. My biggest disappointment is the front end suspension. Hard ride bottoms out and dives big time when front brakes are applied. I will change that out but haven't decided what as yet. Progressive, Traxxion dynamics... suggestions?
Overall I am very happy with bike just wish I didn't have to buy all this stuff to make it comfortable and safe.

I got mine in April.
I now have 12000 miles on it and like it real well.
I am making a few changes however.
I put on a Corbin solo seat with detachable pillion.
I bought the color matched tour pack with forward quick realease mount.
In dash oil temp gauge.
XM radio with Biketronics amp and speaker upgrade.
I had S&S 570G cams installed.
It’s in the shop now having the heads ported and jumped to 10:1 compression.
I am also having the cylinders and heads diamond cut at the same time.
After I run it a few miles off I go to Canada and have it redynode.
I paid 31500 for mine and have put another 7000 in it.

Holy Sheet, 150 HP...Turbo on your SERG !. Can't imagine popping the clutch and smoking the tires for the first 50 - 100 feet.
