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.


Great review on the suspension Dave and great info. all around.

Thanks

 After test riding CVO Road Glide (orange lava) at the AIMExpo in Columbus last weekend and the pictures you have posted and questioned you answered, made my decision on the gunship grey. Went to dealership yesterday to see about price and if anyone had put a deposit on one yet. Good on no deposits on any CVOs yet but they had add $3400 over MSRP. Told them "No Thanks", then they wanted at least $1000 over but finally got them to go MSRP plus tax and title. Filled out some paperwork and gave them a deposit. This will be my first road glide and CVO.

Also my first CVO and first Road Glide.  Loving the bike so far but I agree with Dave - the stock windshield looks good but might as well not even be there.  And a riders backrest is high on my list, too.

Added the new windshield as soon as I got home from dealer.  Back rest too.

Loving the bike, have 2819 miles on it already.

I see you added a good antenna, how does it work?

Every hidden antenna I have ever owned has sucked in my area. Nothing like a real antenna. I see the hot rod guys are adding them and bending them up under the fender or between the bags.

Thanks Rob.  Sure like the feel of the 14" better than stock.


That is a CB antennae, not one for the radio.  The hidden radio antennae does not work very well at all unless you are in town next to the radio station.  I usually just use my iPhone or XM for music.

Yes, it is the BOOM Stage II with the saddlebag amp.  I can not hear the bag speakers on the hwy, have not ever been able to on any bike.

The front speakers are fine on the hwy, I can hear them up to 100 mph.  Not sure about faster as thats as fast as I have gone.  It is a good sounding system for factory.

How does your windshield fit the rubber trim?

I ask as I tried a Windvest (my preferred windshield) and a Memphis Shades. Neither of them fit like the OEM HD windshield. I am in need o a windshield that sits 3 1/2"-4" above the highest part of the dash. I brought the fitment issue up with both the owner of Windvest and Memphis shades.
