I have had my FLHTCUSE8 for one year on October 3.  I have made a few mods, V&H Power Duals, Monster Ovals, SEPRT, and tour pack reallocator.  I have a little over 10,000 miles on it right now with no mechanical problems.  For me having come from a 2005 Ultra to this I am still totally happy with the ride and performance. I just wanted to hear from others as to how their 13s are holding up, am I one of the lucky ones that got a good bike or have there been fewer issues with the 13s?

You're more than likely to hear from the guys who have had issues. The happy ones are out for a ride

I love mine!! Best bike I've ever owned. No issues at all.

No issues of any kind!

Same mods as you, except also made my tour pak detachable, and now working on replacing the stock amp with an Arc so the amp will fit in the fairing instead of the saddle bag.  Absolutely love the bike - couldn't be happier with it.  Luckily no twitchy handling problems that some described as having.  Any issues I had was related to the delivery process (minor paint blemishes, etc.).  All fixed promptly by my dealer in SoCal.

I loved my 09, never a problem 42 K miles. Happy with the way it performed. The 13 runs so damn good it kinda makes the 09 look poor. No substitute for a proper dyno tune. Lovin the 13.

 17000 miles on my 2010. Went to upgrade my cams and ended up finding so much damage it required a complete rebuild.  Bike also ran perfect and made very little noise. Check out my thread on this forum. Lots of picks showing the damage. Better get ready to do your checks before it falls apart on you. The paint is still very nice and no problems with it though.!!  Cheers.

No issues at all.  Just about to turn 10K on my bike and bring it in for service.  I heard so much about the CVO 110 motor having issues but mine has run smoothly so far.

2013 SERG tach replaced under warranty, 6K miles no issue. Same as others above one of the best bikes I have owned and I've had a few.

My tank always seems to run out of gas?

My 12 CVO Ultra was in the dealer's shop for two months.   

Of course, that was because it was rear-ended by an 18 year old punk.

As far as mechanical issues, the '13 runs so much better than the '12 that I traded in, I can't believe the two bikes came from the same factory.     No problems yet.

My FLHRSE3 bought brandnew in 2008 runs already for 40k mls without any problem.
The engine runs great after een ecm tune, done when I bought it.
Completely stock except for a Zumo 660.

Biggest problem is tire wear. (But that can be caused by my right hand.) 

I want to do 100.000 mls with the bike.

Thanks everybody for responding it is great to hear positive responses.  After reading some of the posts on here after I ordered my bike I was really wondering if I made the right move in purchasing a CVO.  Happy to say that after a year of riding I have no regrets.

29,857 on the 12 CVO Road glide, new Dec 11, no motor issues except the regulator.

10,350 on the 13 CVO Road King, New Nov 12, no issues

Mechanically my '13 CVO Ultra runs great. It has S&S Power tune headers , Kerker stouts , SEPRT and a Dyno-tune. Had issue with right side tank insignia coming loose which dealer replaced and had a small crack develop by one of hinges on the tour-pak lid. The dealer ordered a new lid and when the mechanic installed the new lid it was discovered he couldn't install the rack because the pre-drilled holes from the factory wouldn't align with the rack mount. So now I'm waiting for another lid to come in and hopefully it will be right.
