Got my new CVO Streetglide home Friday. Heres a few things I've noticed so far. The clutch hits Really late. Will take some getting used to. Also, when I shift I can feel the clunk from the transmission in my clutch lever. And most noticeable is a strange whirling sound coming from the drive belt I think. Maybe the rear wheel is not aligned just right? The whirl sound is not effected by engine RPM or the transmission. The bike its self is very nice. The engine pulls hard. Im very happy to get ride of all the valve train noise I had with my 110. This is the first CVO I've owned that come with the out door storage cover.
Now to get some sort of pipes or slip ons for it. It just doesn't sound like it looks.

Congrats.  Glad you were able to work out a deal with your dealer.  We will have to get together and go for a spin.  I had the street cannon mufflers put on along with the new harley street tuner and the sound improved significantly.

I have to do something. I would like to hear yours.

I will try to get a video/sound clip tonight and can email it to you.

Pics? GO BLUE!

Every time I try to upload a pic it says "File to large".
Go Blue!

Go in to your pictures and make the picture size smaller so you can upload.

Couldn't keep Go     ! in the quote.

If you're using a phone to take the pictures, just go into the camera setup and reduce the resolution/size.  Most phones come set at the maximum resolution, and that can create some rather large files.

The clutch still grabs very late on the 17 as well? My 16 CVO grabs late...my 14 street glide special hydraulic clutch grabs about 25% off the grip..much easier to manage!
I don't get it....

one other thing that will take some getting used to, It idles at 800 rpm. It can give you the impression that it is about to stall.

Now if it would only sound like a shovelhead or evo when it was idling.... oh the days.

Did either of you guys buy at Brighton HD? That's where I picked up my 2012 CVO Street Glide.

I bought from Brighton. I used to work at American Harley Davidson years ago so I still have a few connections at Brighton.

Very cool, minus a sales tax issue from buying out of state they were easy to deal with. Long ways from Nebraska though.

Enjoy your new bike.
