    Your seats and backrest should be studded if it is an C109RT but maybe that's only the 09 version

      Yes, could be a 09 thing. Sorry I am not aware of that. The studded cargo bag was a loaner from my Vulcan VN2000 as mine from the 109RT was borrowed by a friend for a trip.

    have two C50Ts
    don't like bringing the revs too high
    while on the freeway
    wind is a consideration

    Well Done

      another note . . .
      I'd typically lay back
      with 800 cc
      when around other riders
      but now
      with 1800 cc
      I'll likely transform to

    I picked up a 2006 C90T last sept. Really enjoy the bike but it would be better with a bigger gas tank. (I knew this before I bought the bike, so no surprise) The dealer had one of these C109RT also but I felt like it might be too much bike. The main thing I hear with the 109 is that the big rear tire can be a bit hard to push over into a turn. What do you think about the cornering with this bike? A couple of other reviewers mentioned they would be prefer a deeper note on the exhaust.

      Hello Steve! To answer your questions -
      1) Gas tank: We have approx. 20 litres in the tank (you can convert to gallons/imperial gallons if you are US/UK based). This size is pretty standard for larger bikes like this 20 - 22 litres. My Vulcan 2000 has 21L. Some HDs have 22L. I have been getting between 17 and 18 KM per litre on gas (40 MPG to 42.35 MPG) - gives me a good enough range. But if your bike is not stock, economy may suffer. Note that some larger bikes like VTX-1800 have much smaller tanks 15L :-)
      2) Cornering: This is a bigger/heavier bike, slow speeds in the city and cornering will definitely need more practice/skill build up, if you are scaling up from a smaller/mid size cruiser. That being said, once you get the hang of it, you can bend it around the corners - and I mean it when I say it.
      3) Exhaust: yep, I feel it is a bit feeble. Compared to my Vulcan 2000 when stock, it is much feebler. You can opt for meatier exhausts though at some more cost at the gas station.

      The Vulcan is the most potent. The others are good too and you will not go wrong with either. Personal preference - sitting style etc. I am going to make a detailed comparison.
