Yeah, Harley did a different version for this year. Its actually pretty good as I can attest to my winter ride today. So as many of the long term members on this forum have heard me say that the main reason to buy a cvo is the paint scheme. I bought this bike due to the fit and finish, the paint and how its just completely customized from the factory. Its almost impossible to find a chrome part on this bike. Its either painted bronze or gloss black. Harley did a lot to this bike to make it appealing to someone like me. They definitely did not skimp to save cost because many of the features on this bike are unique or upscale add-ons. The clutch is much less effort than the hydraulic version I have on my other cvo's. The electronics are vastly improved but now I have to study the damn manual since it works different from the 2017. Before I left the dealership, the tech showed me how to check codes and clear them, super simple with the new ecm. I had a chance to use the hill assist feature today, just squeeze the front brake lever 2 quick times and its on. Love it and I can see a lot of use for it on my 2 up mountain rides. Havent used the traction control feature yet but I like the idea of having it. Dont really care about the sirius radio being gone since I listen to my iphone playlists anyway, the second antenna mount is gone completely. I'll post a review once I get a few hundred miles on the bike, my wife of 30+ years and co-pilot on all my harleys said it best, "it looks like its worth what you paid for it"!
