Nice work Russ. Both look great! Are Davey's black or black chrome?

Don't ask why, but when I ordered the color matched tourpak for the CVO SG, it came "with" the upgraded hinges.

One month and 2,000 miles later.....

I really like this bike. Even with the tune, it's damn hot. And it's noisy. That's the extent of the negatives. The hydraulic clutch has either worked its issues out on its own, or I've gotten used to it. I'm still not a fan of it, but the hate has subsided.

I really like the seat, and the bars aren't killing me. It needs different highway peg mounts.

And it's a different kind of ride than I've been doing. Slower and more relaxed, and far more enjoyable. It's bike will still turn & burn, but I can ride it at the speed limit and enjoy it far more than on HtFP.

I really like the seat, and the bars aren't killing me.

So, the limited wasn't hot but this one is ?

Took me over a year to determine the bars had to go.

The sheepskin is pretty nice. I notice some people put them right on the seat? I think they work better in the pants.

YMMV

The bars will need to go on mine, but they'll have to wait as I prioritize.
Being a short guy, I find that I've got to lean forward some and have more weight on my hands than preferred due to the bar position.
Though initially bothered by the seat, after more riding I've found it pretty comfortable. I guess I had to 'adjust'.
I have a lot of heat on the underside of my right thigh and even the calf area of my leg.
I think the little heat deflectors alongside the seat might actually be making it worse.
No PV yet...soon I hope.

Bigger engine, different cam. The 110 puts out more heat than the 103.

Interestingly, Jamie's using a lot more closed-loop in his maps than I would have....Probably why I'm getting 42mpg, and probably why there's a tad more heat. Regardless, this bike is hotter than the Limited was.
