H-D also retuned valves and springs in the front and rear suspension. Their efforts result in giving the front end a much better feel. It no longer translates every imperfection in the road through the handlebars. I got lucky and was able to ride the 2009 CVO Ultra Classic on California's Highway 101 north out of Santa Barbara where I could open up the throttle and run through the gears on the 6-Speed Cruise Drive transmission. The familiar Big Twin melody echoed from new four-inch mufflers as the big tourer hovered just above 3300 rpm at 75 mph. Pushing it a little harder into what before was an area of uneasiness aboard the Ultra was steady as she goes, full steam ahead, Captain.The Screamin' Eagle Twin Cam 110 gives the CVO Ultra Classic Electra Glide that extra push that I'd like to see in the production model. The blend of extra power and improved handling was a pleasant surprise in the platform. Load the Tour Pak up, top off the six-gallon tank, punch in your coordinates on the nav system and enjoy the ride. The 2009 CVO Ultra Classic Electra Glide is the total touring package, and highway pegs, foot controls, heated hand grips, windshield trim, mirrors and saddlebag latches from the Rumble Collection only help seal the deal.
