Disappointed Harley does not make these grips in a Heated version as I like the collection.  May have to try heat deamons or the grips of the street glide which are not an exact match.

Passanger pegs work good as hwy pegs.

Your bike is looking great Dave!

Lol, Completely understand. You arent the guy that walked in and bought the black cvo 2 years ago that I just walked in and started staring at at the front door on the checkered floor where you?

No I am not that guy.  Not one of the six CVO's I have bought from them every hit the floor.  They had deposits on them long before they got to the dealer, and even before any one knew what the CVO's would be.

Thanks Alan.

It's getting there.  I still have the heavy breather to add along with the fullsac head pipe.  I am also looking into having some orange stitching done on my back rest to tie it in with the seat stitching.  My Yaffe 14" monkey bars are on order. 

I'm also debating doing a 40~50's style Navy plane pin up girl on each side.  Not sure, I may just leave it very clean like it is, as it gets lots of compliments.

welcome back to the sharkside, and i like the pinup girl idea, will remember i heard it from you first 

[GregKhougaz]

Dave, the bike looks great as I have said before. You're making it look even better..  I'd like to know what you think of the new Harley touring rear suspension. It's less than half the price of the progressive 970 s which I was considering. How do you like the stock suspension?

Hey FLSTFI Dave,
How about this for nose art?

[King Glide]

The pinup girl combined with the bar and shield, something like she's showing it to an audience, would just be crazy good looking.

[Twolanerider]

The aircraft nose art and other pinup girl ideas are way better than my first thought.  When first saw the battleship looking monochrome bike my first  thought was the nose art on the WWII era PT boats.

The 2017 also had the new suspension.  I put 20,526 miles on my 2017 CVO street glide.  In my opinion it is the best suspension that has been put on a Harley touring bike.  My 17 is the first bike I did not upgrade the rear shocks, and the second bike I did not do the front forks.

On my 15 SERGU I ran Ohlin HD-159 shocks after first 500 miles.  Loved them, so much my 13 SERK has Ohlin HD-159 rear shocks and an Legends Axeo front cartridges.

The 17 while not as good as my king, was good enough I chose not to improve it.  I doubt I do anything to the 18 suspension.  I think the front is very similar to progressive mono tubes I have used on other road glides.

I have used Progressive shocks, but I think the new improved HD shocks are as good as the  944 FST progressive shocks I had on my 12 SERG.

Hope this helps.

I went to 4 different dealers today between San Diego and Orange County to see the Roadglide in person and all 4 were already sold out. Seems like they all went for around 3-5K over sticker according to them but all had a similar story. Huntington Beach HD is obviously a large dealer (never been there before) as they said they have already sold 4 CVO's, 2 RG and 2 SG. They had a wall of unsold previous CVO's including 3 16's and they said they haven't seen this much action on CVO's in years but of course thats what the salesman says but obviously since all 4 stores I went to today were large dealers people are loving the bikes.
I was disappointed I didn't get to see one (though weather was great and enjoyed the 300+ mile search) but happy to see your progress on the new bike.

Uh oh Alan. . Are you getting the urge?? 😁

No, just really curious to see in person. I am thinking now that they have done the softail with the mono shock they may do the 19 touring's which would definitely give me "the urge"! next year wold be 10 years with current frame

I sure hope the frame does not change.  I sure do not want the urge next year.  So far really happy with this bike, and very glad to be back on a road glide.

I have heard production is cut on CVO's and that many areas the new ones are going over MSRP.

Local dealer in Albuquerque moved away from being an MSRP dealer. Was told that CVO's would bring premium $$$ and the best existing customer would get was MSRP. Regarding the production cuts, that may be true but the dealer seemed to think they'd get an allocation of 3-5 for each ordering period. I believe that is bi-monthly but not sure, could be quarterly ??

Absolutely. Thank you very much!
