I dove into the shark tank.

I'm going to miss my 2013 CVO King but happy to join the shark family. Looking forward to this new chapter and racking up the odometer!

Congratulations, your going to love the Shark.  My favorite Harley and I am on my 5th CVO Shark.  I'm sure you will miss your CVO King.  I'm fortunate to still have my 13 CVO King as a second bike.

Great looking new bike.

Congrats on the new bike from the UK. I really like that colour and think it looks really classy.

I went from a 14 CVO King to an 18 CVO Shark and don’t regret it one bit. Just wish I could ride it at the moment. Stay safe.

Congratulations on the new ride!  I have a 2019 CVO RG.  My favorite Harley so far, of the 10 I've owned.  Hope you have miles and miles of trouble-free fun!  Now let the modding begin!  (that's why the initials of Harley Davidson are HD ("hundred dollars, hundred dollars"!)

Beautiful bike man, just test drove same one for chits and giggles this past weekend and I liked it.  Only knock is that it vibrates a little more than my 18 cvo street glide . . . . no idea why but thinking of a road glide for my next one.

I have some front end wobble in tight turns. More so when turning left. I am going to make some adjustments to the rear suspension, but also getting front suspension and different tires put on this weekend. I've never been a fan of the HD Dunlops, I'm hoping the changes this weekend fix the wobble. My guess is a cupped front tire. American Elites are going on which I've never had that problem with.

On a road glide, front end wobble is oftentimes caused by an improperly adjusted neck bearing.  This will show it's self most often decelerating from 50 to 40 with no hands on the bar, if you get side to side movement of the bars, it is the neck bearing.  Often times the factory or the dealer sets it to the same spec as the other touring bikes, which is wrong.  The Road Glide has its own unique spec for the neck bearing.

Thank you for that info! I have a 5000+ mile trip coming up next week so I will definitely get to feel the bike out after making some changes. If it's still present, I will head back to HD to see about that neck bearing.
