Hi-
I am a long time lifestyle biker, had many bikes, have five bikes currently.
Last April I totaled my 2002 Road King. It was a pretty stout build, very fast. Fairing, lowered. Great bike. I got pretty banged up to say the least but as soon as I got my insurance check I found a 2007 FLHTCUSE2 in Candy Cherry and Black Ice. I snagged it for $7300. I feel like I stole it. Couldn't ride yet but I had a buddy take it home for me.
I have been riding again for a while now. Actually started taking rides around the block less than a month later, much to the dismay of my doctor.
Bike came with Hooker tunable exhaust.
It also had a removable tour pak that I think was factory because the antenna was relocated and there are no antenna mounts on the tour pak. Never were, no holes, nothing. Any others like this?
I put a Klock Werks windshield on. I love them.
Kuryakyn plain black windshield trim.
I had 10.25 inch shocks built and lowered the bike.
Danny Gray leather Buttcrack solo seat.
With the low shocks and Danny Gray seat the bike looks totally slammed without the tour pak.
Also got Mustang Deluxe touring seat. I pop that and the tour pak on when the wife wants to go for a longer ride. Even with the 10.25 (one inch travel) shocks the bike is a dream on a long ride.
I'll be interested in raising the bars a little (keeping hands behind fairing).
I'll also be interested in cams, throttle body, and injectors. So I'll be looking into that.
I would never have been looking for a CVO. Just not my thing. I am mostly a chopper builder and rider all my life. I am saving all the CVO parts I take off due to resale value, but lots of that yuppie crap is definitely coming off. I just could not pass up such a beautiful bike at that price. And I get attention and compliments on it everywhere I go, so I think I made a good buy. But for the first time in my life I am worried about the paint. LOL! Every bike I have ever owned before was black except one blue and one purple. That candy paint is amazing, and I am told Harley won't release the paint codes and it is extremely difficult to match as it is a true layered candy paint job.
I didn't even consider buying a new Harley. Most of my bikes I have built. I stayed away from Harley dealers for over 25 years then made the mistake of buying another bike from them. They lied to me and treated me like trash. Never again. Long story.
I am very happy with this bike but it will continue to evolve. Raising the bars is next and then the motor. I don't often sell bikes but just in case I am carefully packing and preserving any CVO parts I take off.
I am happy to see there is a community for these bikes and look forward to interacting with other owners.
I haven't looked at how to post pics here yet but you guys know what this bike looks like.
