OK, so yesterday I rode down to Iron Steed H.D. (Vacaville, Ca.) after talking to the salesman "Jason" on the phone. He has a very beautiful red (Burgundy Blaze) CVO limited in the service area, fresh out of the crate, back rest off the tour pack and tour pack mounted on the temporary shipping (green plastic) frame.
Interesting improvement on the saddlebag is that they have a chrome decorative piece over the DZUS fasteners, where they can't be pried by a screw driver. Secondly while inspecting the interior latch mechanism, it is obviously very stout. Some thief would have to destroy the bags to remove them, rendering the object of the theft, valueless (absent valuables in the bag).
Some of you may remember I had my bags stolen off my FLHTCUSE7, (including IPOD) and I can't tell you what a nightmare that was in time and costs. The CVO bags are 3K with all the wires, liners, etc. Not to mention IPOD and personal belongings and the wait of 8-10 weeks for replacements. I have insurance and a deductible ($250) but the dealership let me slide on the deductible because they had to send one bag back for repaint.
Looking at my tour pack compared to the new tour pack, you can see the CVO Limited has a sleeker appearance and nicer (tapered) smoked light bar (same old rack, unfortunately, which should have been updated as well). P.S. my cell phone died so no pics but "Jason" said he would send me a pic when the bike is completely assembled, which will be sold at MSRP according to Jason.
I have my bike set up right, & running great or I would be all over the red one!
