The SM at the local dealer took me in the back of the warehouse to show me a couple of 08's...not CVO's, but regular Ultra and an Anniversary model.
The seat is very different, with a distinct "back" to the riders portion...still very soft foam though. The gas cap/console is also noticeably different...sort of rounded back, if that makes any sense. The cord for the headset is in the middle of the console, just behind the gas cap cover, in a recessed area. The throttle cables being gone looks strange...needs a fatter set of bars and it would look better, IMO. SM told me that the Brembo brakes will STOP the bike now...that is very good news, and a much needed improvement. The Copper Pearl on the 105 edition, inside the warehouse with just daylight through the windows, looked quite orangey, but not orange enough, or copper enough. I'm sure it's different in the sun. The CVO Copper better look different though, as I did not care for this color at all on the "regular" bike. SM said the new pulley on the back made the bike a lot smoother to drive.
