Can't wait to see one of these in the flesh.  Those front turn signals look interesting on the front of the cowbells.  And the ventilated windscreen may be good in person.  spyder

Smoky Mountain HD has a blue one, it sure is sharp looking.  Really like the blue, if I was not so dead set on having the Anniversary one I would go for it.

I also saw the anniversary colors a friends Roadglide out in the sun.  That really looks nice.

I can't wait to see it on the King.


They still have the Blue one at Smoky Mountain HD was there today. I liked the blue was not to flashy/in your face. BUT my wife really liked the shade of blue, caught her sitting on it twice and talking to a salesman. Probably won't purchase a new one.

Sharp, you know if the little lady wants something, it is best to oblige.  If she was eyeballing the Road King, then a new CVO may be in your future.  Go ahead, pull the pin on that grenade, it only hurts once a month.

I here ya buddy but pretty sure when she gets one it probably won't be a new one. Finances dictate it will be a previously loved Blue one! Unless we hit the lottery. :drink:

The "previously loved" ones are pretty nice, and you get any upgrades and benefit of depreciation.  My wife absolutely does not ride with me.  I rode most of my life and my brother still rides track. He has been laid up after dumping his racing bike at 100+ several times.  My wife has way too many examples and won't go near a bike.  You definitely are blessed in having a wife that enjoys the road along with you.

I demo road the CVO King at Bikes Blues and BBQ, three times.  LOL.

Noticed the clutch improvement over the 12's.

Noticed the windshield like every CVO I have bought it too short to work for me.  I think if I was 5'8" or less it would be perfect.  However at 6'1" it buffets the glasses and helmet no mater how I adjust the vent.  Ducking a few inches it is very clam.

It felt small compared to my roadglides.

I am glad I have one coming.  Its going to be a fun bike.

Did notice the Demo bike had the seat gap between the tank and seat nose, like many of the 09 CVO road glides did.

Ive rode the 13 about 20 miles, my misses about 800 miles.

IMO Harley hit a homerun here.

The overall look, paint, and sound system are all top notch.

I put it on the dyno:  84.53hp / 103.28 tq.  That was on a 93 degree day.

We like the windscreen.  On the highway she opens the vent and there is no buffeting, the windstream goes right over her head.

She isnt going to change a thing.  Im going to slip a tuner on and at some point head pipes, but she loves it just the way it is.

Just took delivery of my new Blue 13 CVO RK. Sold my CVO RG a little over a year ago, and made the mistake of selling my 06 CVO FB 4 months ago and buying a 2012 Street Glide (2nd SG). After owning CVO's it's been impossible for me to move back to a basic bike. This RK is quickly becoming my favorite Harley. Never owned a RK but it's great not having the bulk of the batwing fairing. I certainly wasn't sold on the funky windshield until I rode behind it, and adjusted the vent. It's truly amazing. MAN it's good to be back!

Congrats on the new CVO RK. For me the Blue is the best looking color for the CVO RK's.

Picked mine anniversary color CVO King up late on Nov 7th.  On the 10th it needed its 1K first service.  In the 3 weeks I have put 2250 miles on her, and I was out of town 6 days in Vegas during that time.

It is a very fun bike to ride.  I love everything about it but the windshield.  I am just to tall for it to work for me.  Bike handles great, seems small compared to my CVO Road Glide.

The slipper clutch is great, the biggest improvement I notice over the 12 CVO's.
