(1/1)

PhatboyHD:
Why is it on alot of sites, most infact list 2002 as the first year of the”Official” CVO Bike... was the 2002 cvo’s the first official ones ? And here is a pic of my bike except i changed the air cleaner cover to the round black screaming eagle cover ..it had 7,000 miles on ot when i bought it and 9,750 now ,,got it 2 years ago,, has a 103 upgrade kit in it , cams etc.. and the black speedo with built in tach.. it also has the Predator front isolator mount,, if ya dont have one ya need to get one made a huge difference in handling ..will really go when ya grip it and rip it.. oh and old aircleaner cover in pic for sale ,, originally $150 ,, sell for 50 plus shipping if anyone interested..

1999 production was only the FXR bikes. GREAT bikes but only 1800 produced. 2000 saw the first Screamin’ Eagle bike with the Road Glide. It took a few years before the marketing of the CVO moniker took off. I own an ‘01 FWDWG2 so I know the joy of your Switchblade.

There is a pretty good book on CVO’s - https://www.amazon.com/Harley-Davidson-CVO-Motorcycles-Companys-Operations/dp/0760346046/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1508989104&sr=8-1&keywords=Harley+cvo+book

Lots of factual errors. For example, they refer to our bikes as Screamin’ Eagle CVO’s and they aren’t. Lots of pretty pictures tho although several are MIS-labeled.

The best written history of these bikes is on this website. Lots to read and learn.

There is a Facebook page for Switchblades - CVO Switchblade Owners Group. Be sure to check it out.
