I know it's the perception that each year of a CVO model it's supposed to be more and more things added.  But lowers and audio and so many bells and whistles were never what a Road King was intended to be.  So, love it or hate it, at least this year's Road King is a Road King again rather than some King Glide or whatever it tried to be previously.

i'm torn on that aspect....

the MoCo giveth and the MoCo taketh away the following year

I didn't even look at the prices.  Did the price go down to reflect what's lost from year to year?

nope $28,499

Kind of like coffee when they went from a pound to 13 ounces but kept the price the same.

I guess the cool saddlebag lid speakers are gone forever... along with the speakers in the lowers, as the "Twin Cooling" is put on more bikes.

The fairinged bikes could still accommodate speakers of course.  And guys will add them.  Here's on bit of speculation based on nothing other than the poor expectations I commonly have of the MoCo.  They simply didn't have enough design/fabrication engineers to roll out the new "one touch" lids, latches, etc and also get a separate version of the same lid with speakers at the same time.

That'll be one EXPEN$IVE upgrade... gotta buy the CVO painted lids, too. YIKES!

But our lid speakers came STOCK, Neal!

That's just the speaker kit.  "Sold separately" are the lids needed to go with them.  At least on a first quick glance I didn't see the new lids yet offered.  So either I just missed them (entirely possible, I wasn't that motivated to look hard) or Mother Harley doesn't have a speaker version of the new lid ready yet.

And even those speakers are currently shown as not being stocked.  Harley just didn't have enough ducks in a row to make that available with the bikes.

But they had time to come out with an upgrade kit instead of just putting them on the '14 SERK like last year's SERK had?

Less for the same price. My coffee analogy still holds...
