Dan, having ridden all those motors Saturday, did you notice the stiffer front end?

That's a huge improvement in design. I wonder if it could be felt.

I sat on a 2014 Limited in the dealership and vigorously pushed the handlebars back and forth. It felt much stiffer to me.

Whenever I upgrade my '08, it will likely be for the Ultra Limited. The CVO's are awesome bikes but the delta on what they come with vs. what I would chose to install myself works in favor of the Limited. Observations like Daniel's make me feel like I am leaning the right way when it gets time to make a move.

You never call. You don't write. You don't send me candy or flowers anymore.

Ask her if you're allowed to come over and drink beer and talk about motorcycles.

If they made a Limited in a color that turned me on, I'd probably look hard at one. But, mama has her heart set on the blue CVO Limited, and if she's happy, I'm happy too.

I wonder if the new 2014 triple trees and fork tubes will fit the 2009's, 10's, 11's, 12's, and 13's.

That would be a worthwhile upgrade.

I think somewhere I read about this and the thought was there were some suttle differences in the set up so it wouldn't work.

How would they encourage you to buy a new bike if you could retrofit your old one.

yeah, I've heard that too. I don't think anyone has actually tried it yet.

It did ride better, more stable, more comfortable. I don't know if was because of the increased diameter of the forks or the cartridge system they've gone back to.
