Loving My SE Ultra
It seems that I'm the only happy owner of a SE Ultra on this forum. I bought my used 2007 FLHTCUSE2 in October and so far I like it more each time I ride it. I traded in my 2001 Road King with 40K miles and got what I consider a good deal from the local dealer. So far, I haven't had any of the problems with the bike that I've read about on this forum. I currently have 8,800 miles on it. The only mods I have installed are the IDS, J&M antennaes, chrome fairing trim and headlight and passing light trim rings. I don't even have the gap on the headlight trim ring I've read about. Sorry for those who have had problems, but I just wanted to let everybody know that there is at least one happy SE Ultra owner out there.

RE: Loving My SE Ultra
My 07 SEU has served me nicely for 12,000 mion several long trips and daily riding with nary a problem, Im guessing that there are many CVO's that are running properly, those that have a problem bike are usually far more vocal about their misfortune, deservedly so,I know I sure would be.

and your new SE?

The only difference I noticed is the seating position. The Ultra puts you in a more upright position, escpecially with the backrest in place. After getting used to it, I like it and I don't have the backaches I used to get with the RK. I'm 6-feet tall with kind of long arms and legs, but the Ultra fits me nicely. As far as the ride, I think they may be about the same with a little less wind hitting you with the Ultra. I can honestly say that I was suprised that the Ultra handled as easily in slow manuevers as the RK. And most importantly, I love riding with music. The miles really melt away with the radio/CD playing. I would highly recommend subscribing to XM radio as well, especially if you do a lot of long distance riding.
Just my thoughts, hope they help in your decision. I fought the same battle when I was looking at the Ultra, having ridden the RK for five years. But after riding the Ultra for three months, I know I made the right decision to go with it. BTW, the wife likes it better than the RK and that helps too.

RE: Loving My SE Ultra
Thanks! Puts me a step closer to buying another Ultra. Still like the looks and feel of the '08 RK. Wife only rides around 1,000 mi/yr.
I sold my '06 Ultra to buy the new 6 sp/96. Still have an '03 Heritage which I'm going to sell. Difficult decision because I do most of
the riding and not sure I really needan Ultra.

RE: Loving My SE Ultra
Lovin' my 07 CVO Ultra. Bought new in Sept 06, have 8000 miles and nary a problem. Switched from a 01 RK with 12" apes and 95" stroker. Miss the low end torque and ride, but what the ???.
