I think I found your bike on YouTube before they rap it up and shipped for Europe.
Here is the link.
Check out the front fender! It is unique!

Shocked to see the light on the front fender.  I knew on the Street Glide and Road Glide CVO the rear lights had to be different.  Did not know they had to put a light on the front fender.

Yeah, that video threw me for a loop when I first saw it and had to watch several times.  I figured it must be for export.  Great looking bike & my favorite color of the 2014's (of course I've only seen the red :P).

Reminds me of a kid on Christmas, only Big Boy Toys! :)  Thanks for the pics! :2vrolijk_21: 

I would love to see pics when you get it on the road.  Is there a local HOG & when do you have to put it away for the winter?

Nice, Ruud, congratulations!
  :2vrolijk_21:
I knew the HDI ones were coming like that.  :-\  Can the light and trim be removed leaving no holes, (that is, are they stuck on with tape?)

I guess the reason we get the light is that HDI markets mainly require a sidelight, independent of the main headlight, and there's no provision for that in the LED headlight.  (That's the reason we never got the twin reflector unit in previous years, though I see that they have at last introduced a version with a sidelight now.)

Are the mirrors the same as the domestic model?  That's a first if they are, as HDI models usually have the standard mirors from ordinary models.

You can order one, Ruud - I did for my present bike.  However, as usual with HD these days, the price is breathtaking!

Not listed in the accessory catalogue as for 2014 models, so I assumed that the accessory part number (which says up to and inc 2013) would not work - is it the accessory part (69494-06) that you fitted?

I was due to pick mine up on 18/12/13, but it has not arrived yet.
It's some ware between Belgium & Birmingham.
I am looking for the rear fender medallion part no 59424-10.
Happy to pay $100 if any body can help.

looking forward to getting my cvo limited in april 2014, however i am very annoyed about the european spec compared to the usa spec!,
for those of you in europe who have one already can you confirm am i right in the following differences:

1.looks like we don't get the smoked lenses throughout
2.no cvo badge on rear fender {£50 to buy if you can find one}
3. no led side light "markers" on tour pack .
4. oh but we do get a rediculous light on the front fender with a trim around it!, so no more clean looking fenders that were synonomous with cvo's! >:(

if someone could blog in to let me know if i am correct on all this as my dealer has no idea what the spec is!,
still looking forward to getting it though!!! :orange:

Yes, you're right on all counts.  However, that's fewer differences than we used to get, so it's better than previous years.

Nice bike! do you have any other pictures you could post?, or anyone else for that matter who has the european version,
just trying to come to terms with the front fender on the european cvo limited, as it is actually the same fender as the ultra classic and has the chrome trim at the back of the fender also {shame}, just cant understand why you pay for the top bike harley have and still they have to "lesson the spec" for us over in europe.
when i receive mine in april i will buy all the bits that are missing just so that mine can look like the bike you guys have in the states!, buy the way this totals to about £350 {smoked marker lights,cvo badge, smoked lenses, slanted smoked led tail light and smoked rear brake light}.
i spoke to harley head office and asked them why there is not a single picture of the european version on the whole planet! i have searched tirelessly but found no pictures,no european proper spec, just plenty of pictures of the U.States version that we all fell in love with. :soapbox:

This is wrong i feel as harley have a separate dedicated .co.uk,and european websites, we dont all log onto the .com site, so how hard is it for them to place a picture of the european bike you will be getting on our site?
maybe they think by showing the "lesser" version for want of a better word, they might jeopardise sales!. {miss selling a product springs to mind!},
it's just as well there are good friendly people on this forum with information that helps others otherwise we would be in the dark!.
bye for now,
 just off to look at a picture of what my bike should have looked like{ he he}. :2vrolijk_21:

Ride on, and ride free brothers!

I think you'll find that lot costs a bit more than £350!   The reason for the non-clean front fender, by the way, is that we need a sidelight, which the US don't.  As we are getting the LED headlamp, which has no provision for a sidelight, it has to be added on the front fender.  This isn't as nice as a clean fender, but it's a whole lot nicer than missing out on the LED headlamp, and getting the crappy headlamp we always got in the past.....

i should have said, it is £350 because i am off to the states in a few weeks, and have priced the bits on the american dealers shop, with the exchange rate being 1.62 to our english pound it works out a hell of a lot cheaper!
i have always bought my parts over there,dealers over here have extortionate prices!.
Regarding the sidelight you mention,surely if they could have built in a sidelight into the new headlight cluster {as small as it is}then they could have just disconnected the plug to the bulb for the countries that don't need it and plug it in for the countries that do! then there production costs would be lower as one fender would be the same for everyone, they wouldn't have to spend time allocating some fenders for europe,with the added chrome trim and light etc, then no one would be upset over the fender changes etc .....and i wouldn't be writing this s**t!.
