I'm very disappointed in the CVO Deluxe. The paint is AWFUL.

Those bags do NOT look Vintage... they look like J. C. Whitney.

And those recycled 9-spoke wagon wheels are hideous. They were hideous when they were used the first time years ago, too. They missed big time by not pairing some nice chrome 80-spoke laced wheels with those big fat white walls.

The Indian Vintage blows the CVO Deluxe right off the road... and for a LOT less money!

They look they came from the parts bend. Aren't they the same ones from the CVO Ultra from 2007?

At least to me they do.

YB

my husband had that ultra and yes.. they do look the same

I'm thinking the V&H longshots will look awesome on the new Deluxe! Haven't looked it up yet to see the fitment but why not?
HMMM race tuner, long shots, chrome swing arm now I'm excited
Mines coming in on the 25th of September... I was told no one has the new CVOs yet... obviously I cant believe my local dealer or perhaps everything is just SSLLOWWERR   in the south...lol

Here's a link to good pictures of this bike...

Personally I love the brown leather seat and saddle bags and from this video I think the wheels look good.

They should have at least come out with a better looking wheels on these deluxe since that you guys paying such a price. It's a CVO. They shouldn't at all include these whitewall tires. They gets dirty and color changed very quickly and this should not be the case when thinking about the CVO. Why didn't put for example wheels like the one they came out with on the softail comfortable CVO on 2011

Whitewall tires can be maintained very easily if you switch to Lyndall brake pads and keep them clean as you go.  If allowed to get really dirty and stay that way, they'll stain and become hard to keep very bright.  They do add a lot of nostalgia look, as do real spoke wheels.  JMHO.  spyder

What color did your wife get?... sorry if you posted it earlier I missed it...thx

This is the wife...I got the pearl white with blue and gold.  It looks amazing.  I saw it on the HD website when the new lineup came out and was not impressed at all.  I saw it in person and it is gorgeous.  I saw the red on red yesterday and did not like that color scheme.  It looked like a bike crashed into a bass boat.  Didn't pop at all like the white/blue/gold Deluxe.  I went from a 2012 Slim stage 1 kit with Vance Hines pipes and I could tell a difference in the "get up and go" as well.  I took the windshield off in this pic.

Are those saddlebags quick detachable?

[springer_07]

Are those saddlebags quick detachable?

yes.  And they are also "one hand open".  taking them off give it a completely different look.  Also this bike comes with navigation, cruise control.

VERY NICE bike and yes the stock HD photos that I have seen never do anything for the bike...

the orange/brown CVO Deluxe, that has my name on it, is supposed to be here on this Wednesday now... I'm anxious to test drive it... had an 08 Deluxe with a race tuner, stage one air intake and V&H long shots... that was quick ride too but I traded it in on my present CVO.. a citrus FLHXSE3 (which I'm keeping) but I really do miss my Deluxe for local rides so I guess I'll see what happens when it gets here.

Your post along with some others I have seen lately gives me hope for the new Deluxe... before that... all I saw was a bunch of negative crap, most likely from people who never saw the bike in person let alone took it for a ride!

keep the pictures coming and ride safe.

Saw one of the CVO Deluxe's at Destination Daytona, Not my cup of tea, not ever for free. Regarding the comment above that whitewalls get dirty and change color, this is just not true. I had them years ago on RK Classic and they never do this, just as white when worn out as when new, an no harder to maintain than any other tire.
