Default My best friend left the cave and jumped head first into the tank!

Well my oldest best friend just recently picked up a awesome pre-owned 2008 CVO Screamin Eagle Ultra.

The Ultra was truly in great shape with only 16,900 miles on the clock. Completely stock except for some Rinehart's True Duals. As we all know, this was the top of the line touring rig for 2008.

The Ultra was a killer touring rig but as my bro said, it had no soul and was terrible with the handling and was just very, very heavy to him when carving.
(BTW: he wanted a 2009 CVO Roadie like mine but in silver)

The Only thing that he did was add a TTS Mastertune Turner. The Bike rode killer and the turner made a big difference, but from the start. I could tell he was never really happy with it!

Well last week we rode to one of our local dealers and he saw for the first time the 2015 Road Glide/Special. Well the little voices in his head started talking and He made the jump head first into the Tank!

It did make a big difference that he was able to get $2k more for his 2008 CVO Ultra then he paid for it!

Here's his 2008 CVO Ultra that he only had for about one month next to YellowBird:






And Here's his brand new 2015 Road Glide Special!




Getting it's first taste of some water after adding some nice V&H PRO PIPES.




Here she is once she got home:

Those headlights look like speakers.

Now there's an idea.
Why not make speakers that double as headlights or vice versa?
Why does it need 2 lights any way?
You only look in 1 direction.
