Have been waiting for another CVO RG Custom, but at over $41K Harley had lost me. Have owned 5 CVO's and I won't be getting a 6th.

Was really disappointed this wasn't an ultra version but could get a king pack and CB. Loving the Dark earth/ black color. Disappointed it's not water cooled since I have a hot 117 twin cam, but I could probly get over that. BUT What the heck is that highway bar? Looks like it was a left over part from a sportster. Guess I will be waiting till next year for a new touring ride.

Unless they put them in the vents, nope. I've had mine off enough times to know that there's no room in there.

I was thinking that's where they'd have to be.  We'll have to wait til someone has a schematic or a bike to confirm.

apparently, an error on the webpage.  if you go to the specs, it is not listed as 'twin cooled' whereas if you go to the specs for the limited, it is.

I was thinking the Grey Road Glide needs the Harley Davidson writing on the fairing in orange or black like the other two have. Maybe on the bag side... Orange calipers... Orange around the headlight... Better front fender...

Here's a comparison right from MoCo site with the 3 CVO this year. Once again, Moco's web people have their heads in their asses. Now to figure out which one is correct. Doing a 360* look at the new SESG, the lowers for it don't have the fan vents in the sides of those like the Limited does.
Title: Re: 2018
Post by: OBB on August 23, 2017, 10:47:00 PM
For the record, I will be calling that grey one 'Possum Grey instead of the BS Grey that Moco seems to think it is.

Been talking with 1 of the son's from local dealer today about the CVO RoadGlide, said they are only getting 3 and will be 5,000 over msrp.
Said he didn't think they will last and if I wanted 1 I need to act fast.
I laughed to myself, I'm not spending 12,000 more than I paid for my limited than need to buy a tourpac.

I think there are still some 2016 CVO RG ULTRAs on the showroom floors. At $5k premium the 2018's make meet the same disaster.

that's one thing that I was thinking also when I saw the price for these cvo's.  maybe hd is going to drastically cut production to truly make these bikes 'rare'.

I like the orange bike. However I don't want to do the Chrome thing again. So to mix it up I believe the gray bike is going to be my bike of choice this year. For me it is a clean pallet.

Nothing on these new cvo rg bikes do anything for me.  For the price and what you are getting. . . It's a huge rip off.  No way on earth would I give up a 16cvo rg ultra for something that has barely anything on it. 41k????  Are they kidding me????? For what. . A 117 motor?  They should really be ashamed of themselves. . And they wonder why their sales are off and people are looking at Indian again. .its not the millennials.  It's harley davidson  :nixweiss:  Stuart..

How many did they use to get?  I know Smoky Mountain use to get lots of CVO's, I believe 6 to 8 or more of each model CVO.  Not sure how many they get this year, will ask today.

No CVO's are at the dealer yet.  They did receive a truck load of the new softtails.  They also got a couple street glide specials and a couple Limiteds.  They sold the first 18 yesterday morning, a Twisted Cherry Street glide special.

It is my understanding Harley is limiting number of bikes going to each dealer. There are some dealers that are complaining that they have two year old bikes on the floor that they can't sell because the market is flooded. My dealer on the other hand can't get enough of them. He has no problem selling the high-end bikes.

Is the seat a 2- piece?  Can't imagine it's very comfortable for touring for the passager.  Looks like the Road Glide was built to compete with the Sport Glide, at the cost of a road touring machine.
Title: Re: 2018
Post by: skratch on August 29, 2017, 06:02:59 PM
looks like the same dimensions as the 2012 and 2013 road glide custom cvos.  definitely looks more comfy than the stock 'badlander' style seat that they put on the regular roadglides and specials.  yes, i'm sure if one was taking a passenger far and/or often, they would upgrade to a proper two up seat.

I Looked up the gauges for the same reason, to replace the ones on my 2016 and the price is up there even with 20% off +/-$850.00 total compared to replacement cost on my OEM gauges at +/- $390.00 total.

Dang, that's up there.  I'd have to see them in person before spending that much.  Might be better to just put the 14-16 SESG gauges on instead..

My local dealer is getting 5-6 CVO's every 2 months. It's all based on their ability to sell based on last performance. I also saw the Orange CVO, absolutely gorgeous. Also saw the dark one with orange accents, nice but I prefer the Orange. However $41.4k is not in my realm of acceptable expenditure. The new Road Glide Special in the othe hand seem reasonable by comparison. None at the dealer yet.
