Tervo: It's called aesthetics. Is it a big deal, no? However, look at last year's buzz on the CVO Street Glide and forum chatter (none this year so far)-the good and bad. Collectively, there was a consensus on how to make the bike look better during the '15 buzz .
Adding a cap was one of the suggestions on appearance/balance of tank. Another was the wiring harnesses in bags. You zeroed in on the minor. They fixed the wiring this year. Others felt a pax backrest should be standard for $37k. Others spent a few $$ more to buy a tour pak, add additional lights, etc.
The 3 big selling points on the CVO Street Glide in '15 was the engine, paint, and stereo. My "complaint" was the stereo, and while traveling, the wiring harnesses in the saddlebags were a nuisance when loading/unloading my gear.
There appears to be no buzz/excitement on the 2016, because not much changed (my original post in response to someone).
I now have $7k good reasons to be enjoying my non CVO Ultra Limited after trading my CVO and no worries about blowing speakers (sound is still just as good), more space, passenger backrest, and warm hands for winter riding w/heated grips--all standard.
I'll revisit the CVO in the future, when some of these issues are resolved.
I suspect next yr the 110 will be added to more bikes, and the buzz on CVOs will reappear when they had a 120? Get rid of the Flames? Add a 1000 watt system? The price jumps to $40+?
The TPMS , new paint colors, and air ride suspension hasn't created a lot of buzz apparently based on comments so far on the '16s, as compared to this time last year w/the '15s.
