Update...
Even after putting on the high bars and dropping the pegs 1" I still couldn't stay comfortable on the 1125 for longer than about 30 miles at a time. Swung by the dealership last weekend and noticed that they had a Uly in the corner with under 5k on the clock. Went over to my GM and offered to trade my CR for the Uly. Good deal for both of us. The dealership will make a few more bucks from the CR and I ended up getting the Uly that I had originally wanted for cheaper than I would have been able to back then. The rebate on the CRs was 5k whereas the XB12s were only 3k off. Has great weather up here for the last week or so. Got a little over 500 miles on the Uly in the 8 days I have owned it and I couldn't be happier. Only downside is that the Street Glide only got about 250 miles of excersize since then and she's a little bitter.
