So, I can see a loophole in the 2 year contract with her "Giving" me the bike as a present, I technically will no longer be paying for it as it was a gift and I can then start new mods after that

I'm curious once you get some hard miles on it if you think the CVO handles as well as the RG did.

Not many people trade the direction we did, from RG to Batwing. I see why, cause I've been dissapointed ever since.

I could tell that the brakes were much better than my 2007, even with the upgraded 3 piston calipers I put on my RG. The 2009 frame seemed to corner a lot better than my 2007 did too. Not tha the 2007 was bad, just seemed to "float" through the corners? I know the frame mounted fairing will handle winds better, but I needed a CB for riding in my group
