Not a single significant change in the 2011 SE Ultra. The paint scheme is identical (other than a gold border edge on the flame design) to the 2010 SE Ultra and I much prefer my Scarlet Red/Slate color over the 1 choice they are currently offering. Hard to believe the only technology advancement they could offer on a $37,000 motorcycle is providing a hardwaire connection into the back of the HK radio instead of using the Aux point.

Looks like they really wacked the R&D budget for this year's models if their top-of-the-line bike is identical to last year's model. Very glad I bought mine last year. With no advancements my bike's value should hold up nicely.

As other's have said, not alot of changes, although I must admit, I didn't expect that many anyway. I do like the power pack option though. I wish it was available when I got mine. It would have definetly been on the order form. I see they went back to the 2-1-2 exhaust though. I like the new colors available.

I don't pay alot of attention to the CVO line however after reading this post I looked at the new 2011 info compared to the 2010.

If these CVO Ultra images are accurate even the graphics from the 2010 were copied to the 2011 model. Harley spends alot of time on the 2011 web site promoting their hand finished gas tank paint job and they copy the 2010 graphics to the 2011 model?????

Count me in the SURPRISED column!

Here's where I found the info on the SG. I also see that it's standard on the Road King Classic.

I like the RoadGlide Ultra with the extra accessories like Tour Pac, Lower Fairing and the 103cc option is the way to go and the price doesn't seem to be bad at all, considering what I paid for 2009. If, I had to do it again that's the bike I would buy.

CVO Touring Bikes are looking nice but not for a additional $1,499. plus for it. All, I noticed was that it has the lower Fairing with speakers and the different colors that were added this year.

I was thinking that HD this year would of atlease given back to their state side customers a little incentive by lowering their prices just a little for the way the economy has been and for the many many years that the American People has built their company up. I guess HD is not really thing about the American People who save them when it was tough for their company to rise up years ago....
