Man, that's a really nice looking glide. I know your gonna love it. I just took mine for a little spin after washing it.
After all these years it still speaks to me. besides removing the Tour Pak and the exhaust has anything else been done to it.
Enjoy your new bike.

I was hungry for the 2011 CVO Road Glide, could not score the deal, settled for 2011 Road Glide Ultra, 39,000 miles and wow great bike, traded for the 2014 Ultra Limited even more wow. A year later and 13,000 miles traded up to the 2014 CVO Limited and I still miss the Road Glide. If you can score the 2011 Road Glide CVO just do it. Oh wait you did, good for you, change the bars and ride it like it was meant to ride. 2015 CVO Road Glide is not what I thought it should be? Enjoy the ride, Ride safe.

Traded my 2011 Road Glide Ultra CVO with 47K miles here, for the 2015 Road Glide Ultra CVO. Actual cash value for my 2011 was only $17K. I had a stage lll and $45K invested in it.

There's a night & day difference between them. The 2015 rides so much better, tighter, smoother and more comfortable overall for wife and I.

The 2015 isn't as particular as the 2011 in being in the correct gear. (Riding in lower rpm in higher gear) my 2011 was tuned by Doc Weaver, it doesn't get better than that.

The 2011 radio readout disappears once in a while, pressing on the face plate would restore the readout. The GPS unless riding at night wasn't very viewable. The passenger backrest wasn't as comfortable as the 2015 is to my wife.
Wind management is better on the 2015 than on the 2011. The bags are better on the 2015.

If money isn't an issue get the 2015, if money is an issue remember what my actual cash value was, $17K with over $6K in mods.
