Does anyone know where the CVO History page is on H-D's website now?  The page where you could scroll through the various years of the different models since 1999.

It used to be a link at the bottom of the page once you on the CVO section, but it's not there as far as I can see.   

Thanks in advance for your assistance.

Grizz, taint dare no more.  Actually, there wasn't a link to the old CVO's on the 2017 model year website either.  I used a link for a few years from the MoCo but it only goes to 2015 model year.  Here it is:
https://www.harley-davidson.com/content/h-d/en_US/home/motorcycles/2016-motorcycles/cvo/cvo-history-overview.html

Interesting that now it shows the information below.  Also, I noted that there is no link to the previous years models anymore as there was a choice to look at 2017 or 2018 model years (or 2017 and 2016; 2016 and 2015, etc.).  The 2017 link has recently disappeared as a choice.

Funny, ain't it?  A motorcycle manufacture heavy on linking everything they make to the past doesn't want you to explore the history of their bikes (i.e CVO's) anymore.

CVO's are no longer considered special, since they are nothing more than a high end option package installed on the regular assembly lines and cranked out in high volumes.  Do the automakers have special websites or pages for their King Ranch or other high content models?  Nope.

BINGO!

The days of being assembled by hand picked teams on a separate line died in 2009. It used to be the team members hand signed parts of the bike to show their pride. Now days if you want a CVO, they just work it into the standard production line like they do with the Fire Fighter, Peace Officer, and Shriner bikes.

If Harley was Ford, then think of the CVO as the XLT in the line up and the rest of the bikes as XLS and XL series. By now HD knows there are folks who will pay that amount of money for a CVO, so they scrapped the separate line and assemble it with the rest. It's a money saver for them.

But I could be wrong.

I got the same page when attempting.  Thanks for the info Haird and others.

I guess it is like the old saying... "Things just aren't (or built) like they used to be".

For an organization that likes to celebrate anniversaries EVERY 5 YEARS, you have to wonder why they wouldn't continue to allow us to look back at the CVO history. 
No doubt with all the reduction in goodies over the past few years (combined with escalating prices) they don't want everyone to see how lucky the purchasers of yesteryear were and are to still enjoy their oldie but goodie rides. 

I do love my "custom" hand built Duracell. 

Thanks again!

I sent an email to HD to ask about the disappearance.  We'll see...
