My big red should be ready for pickup tomorrow! I'm psyched...never spent so much effort trying to find a Harley.

Think I'll name her "Serefina".

The weather starting to turn a bit up here, but you should be able to log many miles on her in sunny St. Augustine.  Have a great time, and be safe.

Congratulations Uncle Fester!

Picked up AE #278 yesterday.  Long two month wait but it was worth it. Rear crash bars, 4 point dock kit and luggage rack installed at dealer and then long 5 hour drive home with it in the back of the truck. Put about 20 miles on today, enough to realize the windscreen has to go. Love the bike!

Rear Crash Bars? I thought about that too, but it seemed to take some of the CVO build look from the bike. But those bars sure would protect against the inevitable dump when the bags would be damaged without the rear crash bars. Crash bars would also protect against pipe damage.

I wanted the rear crash bars for that reason, but there is no place to put the bags that hold the drink containers without them. Being in Florida means you need plenty of hydration in the summer, so we have found that carrying a couple thermos brand bottles in the crash bar drink holders provides a good means of accomplishing that.

I've got a stainless insulated drink holder for which I used on my old bike with the Kuryakyn universal drink holder on my throttle handgrip clamp. It's another thing sticking up off the handlebars, but quite functional. I bought the Kuryakyn leather pouch drink holder with handlebar mount and hope to mount it less obtrusively. I'll end up with the rear crash bars as soon as I stop detailing the bike each time I stop at a dealer.

I agree about the functionality of the saddle bag guards (rear crash bars).  I just can not bring my self to ruining the clean looks with out them.  Have considered it on both the CVO road glides and this bike.  But in the end, looks win out for me.

Brought her home yesterday! Only mod I had done on delivery was to lower her front and back with Progressives. At 5'6", I need all the help I can get. Considering some pullback risers and maybe the "comfort profile" rear crash bars (it occurs to me the bags would be REALLY pricey to fix/replace), and moving the front turns to the forks. Other than that and wiring up my Zumo, shes staying as-is.

Sharp bike.  I too am looking at getting the turns off the handle bars.

[Fiberguy]

That Red is extremely sharp. The turn signals off of the bars does sound like a good looking mod.  Is this something that you would do yourself, or have the dealership do it?

Can I ask how much you lowered with the Progressive monotubes?  Estimate of the cost?  Thinking of lowering 1" over the winter on mine.  Thanks.

I went with the monotubes in the front and 412s in the back. Lowered about 3/4" in back and about 1" up front (I believe, might be wrong about that). The CVO RK already has the lowered HD suspension, so Progressives were the easiest way to go lower. Don't recall the cost. Want to say it was in the neighborhood of $500.

I'm looking at P/N 69577-06, which are the FLHRS-style turns. I always liked the RK Custom's look.

That is one of the options I am considering to get the signals off the bars.
