Default 2011 Ultra Classic CVO

Just got my eyes on (and actually got to sit on an '11 Ultra Classic CVO) As with most bikes it's much more impressive in person than in picture.
Who's got one and has put a few miles on it? I'd like to hear from the voice of experience on the details fo the bike. Handling, performance all the creature comforts etc. I have alot of miles on Ultra Classics but this would be my first CVO.

^^^ !Congrats on your purchase! Agreed the CVO bikes look better in person from the word 'Go'. One of my bikes is the CVO Convertible. Performance of the 110 motor probably will not let you down...

Default new shocks

I think these have the new adjustable shock absorbers don't they? If so how do you like the ride from them. I am thinking of a set for my 2010 RoadGlide, but at $500 MSRP I want to be sure they are worth the money or if I should just go with one of the Progressive models.

Thanks

One option is to seek expert advice from Howard at Motorcycle Metal (site sponsor). Go Ohlins or Penske.

You get what you pay for in life...

Even with professional photography, they just look better in person and in sunlight.

Went from an 09 UC to a 2010 UCSE so I didnt see much difference in ride as I dont think any of the suspension was changed. The 110 engine has a noticible incease in power but also with that, between the cat in the head pipe and the LEAN epa crap, I did get a good amount of pinging. Put on the SE HD ari cleaner/filter and the empty head pipe and PCV from Fuel Moto. That really zipped up the engine put not able to check the decrease in pinging cause its been cold since I've put them on. Also, top end of the 110 engine is a bit noisier than the 96. But they are a sweet bike and always complimented on it by bikers and non bikers.
