Looks like maybe they did color match the mail box slot this year.

On the street glide they did for sure.

Sorry.. I gotta ask, what in the world is the "mail slot" ?

The vent in the batwing.

I have to agree that the CVO line up is a real disappointment, although cheaper than 2015 model year, even in Canada which given the way the USD has strengthened against the CAD over the last 12 months, is somewhat surprising. However, all bets are now off as everyone seems to have joined the route.

Looks like the S models are using up old 110 air cooled engines. Nice idea and more of what Harley should be doing, innovation, if that is not an oxymoron, given that they are not using anything 'new new'!

I just don't get these guys. They are completely ruining the CVO marque.  Look at the pic of the "Inspiration" Streetglide Special. It makes the, CVO Streetglide loom like a Kmart knock-off.

The thing that just make,s me do the "head scratch" is ... It's a well known fact that CVO OWNERS SPEND MORE AT HARLEY SHOPS (P&A, motor clothes, etc) than all other owners - yet the "should have been the new CVO Streetglide" is just an SGS with P&A bolt ons.

This bike with a 120r is what CVO was f$%*ing CREATED for. NowI fear the designers and engineers have gotten as old as the target market. I am smack in THAT market and would rather build a new ( or better yet - low mile '14 SGS) into something like this before buying a CVO.

Just so silly to put pics of a bike up that makes the CVO look like ass in a hand bag

Not that I was going to buy one, but I was dissapointed the '16 CVO SG is using the same graphics as the '15s, just in different color schemes.  Has HD ever done this on the CVOs before?  I can't recall two different year models using the same graphics.  The black CVO SG is no different than the '15.5 model, which was an emergency replacement for the yellow SESG with the problem paint.  I can foresee quite a few CVOs on the showroom floor in Aug 2016.

The CVO Limited from 14 and 15 had the same paint scheme, just different colors.  Same with the 15/16 CVO RGU. 

While I'm not a fan of recycling the paint schemes, I do think Harley got it right this year with the CVO RGU colors.  The red/silver and the silver/silver schemes look really nice this year, at least on the website.  I prefer them over the 15 CVO RGU...

But yes, lame to recycle paint schemes on bikes that cost over $36K and have the word 'Custom' in their trim level designation...

Any thoughts as to why the CVO SG (at least) went back to air shocks vs the coils on the 15 and prior?

Is this air system the same as the old air system.

Gotta say, HDs site is impossible to find the changes on, and I don't much care for the multi-view color selectors.

I'm looking forward to seeing the red in person, don't much care for the white/black or the purple/blue.  The black with Ghost flames is ok... 

I do wish for the color matched vent.  It's an item in the P&A catalog, but not listed with last years CVO colors so far as I can tell.

If I am not mistaken the graphics on the website for the CVO Roadglides has changed since yesterday gone on my view are the ugly flames. Will have to wait until dealers have something in stock for a reality check. This is the absolute worst rollout of new models that Harley has done in years. I used to enjoy the rollout at Sturgis.

I also find it interesting that the CVO RGU is the most expensive in the line up.
I think that is a first?

EDIT: I looked it up for 2015 and the RGU was $300 more than the Limited last year

Same thing last year.

Yup

A CVO option that doesn't have a fairing would be nice. Damn bulky things!

So true.  They've nearly forgotten what the "C" in CVO stands for.
