The '16's may have an updated rear air suspension.  There is a reference to adjustment without tools in the Road Glide Special website.  Is a hand held air pump a tool?     CVO website:

In some of the photos I see a 2.5" fog light attached to the front turn signals.  I find it in the 2016 P&A catalog on page 712 & 713.  Anyone know if this is a new item and if its any good?  Its not stock.  Just thought it might be an alternative to some of the caliper and fender lights.  Guess would have to add up mount, light, wiring and acc switch.

Hmmmm... time will tell, but they look similar to the ones that came on my bike in '04... they were a POS back then... wouldn't hold air, rode rough as chit.

Hold that thought a minute and let me toss in a couple of pennies. Those lights are Kury knockoffs. Or Headwind knockoffs. Been around a while.

One thing to consider in adding lights down low is it increased the pattern or triangle of light instead of drawing the focus of others to a single area of light all up by the fairing. The bigger area of light the better. I have the CD dynamic rings in the Turns plus the caliper mounted driving lights. Anyone that has ever ridden in front of me says they have no problem seeing me in their mirror as opposed to someone with all their lights focused in one area.

Not much change at all, but there is a price increase.

Added Led to front turn signals inexpensive addition, removed rear turn signals big cost savings.  Will also add cost for anyone wanting to run with the tour pack off as you will have to add turn signals to the rear.

My guess is the single fob set up is a was, no savings but no increase in cost.

The biggest changes is the tire pressure monitoring which would be really nice to have.

Same old paint design which last year was pretty much the 11 paint design.

Sure wish they would put some effort into the paint design and graphics.

All good points OBB on the lights.  Just had not noticed that option before.  Guess by the time you add up everything needed it approches some of the other lights.

Those lights mounted to the turn signals you have seen are the same LED lights that mount to the crash bar. New bracket for turn signal mounting is all.

Been interested in them for a while, just not sure of the turn signal mount is the best location.

If they haven't changed the angle of the navigation screen then all of the other changes are insignificant compared to this problem...it is the single biggest reason I am still riding my batwing...loved how the roadglide rode, but could not see the nav screen with the sun anywhere behind me...could not even see the radio...I can change the bars, but the nav screen is too big an error on the motor companies part

It looks to me like they put narrow primary cover off the limited low model on all the touring bikes this year

That is correct. I looked at one recently and asked. They used the one inch lower kit front and rear, new seat, and skinnied up the primary cover. So I am assuming that it rides as stiff as the street glides

The website specs show identical seat heights for the 2016 and 2015 CVO Road Glide Ultras.  Are you sure about the one inch lowering?

[Rooster]

I was told that by the salesman at the dealer. And I am only talking about the Utra limited Low.

I sat on the LOW version and my feet were flat on the floor with a slight bend in the knee. I then sat on the new CVO Limited and only the tips of my boots could touch the floor.

No they did not use a lowering kit on the CVO Road Glide Ultra.  You are talking about a totally different bike.

Here is a '16 Ruby Red / Palladium Silver.  Note the contrasting lowers.  I prefer the '15 Burgundy Blaze / Typhoon Maroon.  While the paint scheme is identical, the colors contrast more.
