They need to make this kit for the 2014's.

I am pissed that they make that kit AT ALL! If you want that CVO-style rear fascia, you should have to buy a friggin' CVO to get it!

this had become a standard for the cvo's . Excluding the ultras in touring
.. I just can not figure out why it was changed on the 14 cvork

Well, I guess that hen they added the audio kit on the 2013 RKcvo, they found out that (hey, people don't spend more money, so lets take it off on 2014 so we can get some cash out of their pockets). It's really sad when u add a nice feature on 13 models and take it off the following year. Not forgetting that if you guys want to add that saddlebag new speakers, u will need to wire a whole system like its previous 13 model,,,this is of course extra costs,,,,
Well done HD

I regard the 2014 cvo road king as a fix of the 2013.  The 2014 road king appeals to me because I like the comfort of a touring bike without the extra weight of lowers amp, speakers etc.  If you want tunes, get bluetooth speakers for your helmet and crank up itunes or Pandora.

I guess it's good that Harley is giving us options as I couldn't disagree more.

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.

As I mentioned elsewhere.
I never wanted the Lowers, iPod or Speakers in the Saddlebags to begin with.
What I strongly dislike is a Blacked Out Bike. The Blacked Out look doesn't do it for me.

I guess HD now thinks all their buyers will fall in love with Black paint vs Chrome.

I picked the 13 Anniversary model because it had some black!  I have never ridden with the lowers & the speakers in the bags was not a selling feature.  So it seems they nailed the 14's from my point of view, but I'm not a fan of the new bags or this years paint, but the price is better!!

I may just be an outsider here as a non CVO owner, i do want to join the ranks officially in the future, but i sure liked the 2013 CVO RK. I liked the lowers, the saddlebag speakers and the look of the whole bike. I'm looking to get a 2009 non CVO RK soon and it will get a visual makeover with some of the features of a CVO and hopefully the sound system. I hope it will be a stepping stone to the real thing in the future, whether a CVO Road Glide, a CVO Street Glide or the 2013 CVO RK. I guess i'm just the fake it til you make it guy right now. I hope i don't offend you guys, lol.

I did look at that, thats a GREAT deal! Right now i have a deal working for an 09 RK thats almost an even $$$ swap for my 2000 RK if it goes thru. I have somebody gonna give me 12K for my 2000 then i'll get the 2009 for 13K. Anyway, i hope my next bike (after this 2009) is a CVO bike. I would like to see what the rear end of the 2014 RK looks like too in person. I really like the 2013 cvo rk.
 Sorry for the thread drift.

If you can do an almost even trade from a '00 RK to a '09 RG... DO IT! Take a hit on the RK if you have to. With the '09, you get the frame redesign, under-frame exhaust, and all of the other massive changes made that year... '09 was the biggest one-year modernization in Touring bike history. HUGE improvement in handling.

Good luck!

I liked the 2013 SERK's when they came out. I waited all year till the 2014's were out hoping for some additional improvements. I was less than impressed without all the Chrome. The sound system was a secondary item . I ended up getting a 2013 Blue RK. The sound system isn't all that great at highway speeds but is adequate around town.  I may add a detachable fairing to get that in your face stereo sound like the Glides have.
   The softail CVO's his year seem to be the best looking in the CVO lineup. If I was younger I might have gotten one of those.
