According to the photo's on Harley's website the saddle bags on the CVO RG are no longer stretched on the Black Hole w/ graphics and are still pictured at least, as stretched on the Orange & Black Fade and the Bronze.

Lots of nice colors this year I think!! NOTHING to make me get rid of my mako shark fade, but lots of nice options for people in the market... Even the CVO models did away with the hydraulic clutch...

I was surprised about the spoke wheels on the Road Glide CVO??

Better, but still not up to what CVO paint used to be.

Did not watch the unveiling. Would have been too bored. Did review the 2021 bikes on the website. I'm underwhelmed at best. Where / what is the incentive to buy a new bike?

Exactly!

21" wheel. Some people were not crazy about the heavy 21" wheel on previous years. At least that's my guess.

[SHRADER]

That wheel looks awfully spindly for a 900 pounds bike.

Of course HD took years to develop it according to one of the goomers on the launch video. Who is gonna be the guinea pig to ride one through a big pothole first?

Look at the CVO RG's of a few years ago and ask if the resent models are touring bikes or simply over priced shells of there prior self.

[USA88]

Looks like I’m keeping my ‘20 CVO and just build the motor.

[Twolanerider]

The cast aluminum and spoked wheel is funky but (to me) not in a good way.  Might be different in person but first reaction seeing a pic of that wheel is not good at all.  Fugly.

Can't understand the saddlebag change at all.  Less is more?  It's a saddlebag not a TARDIS.  Extended bags look better and have more space; and they can't cost THAT much more to product.  And Mother Harley seriously just threw in the towel on something that could/should be as simple as a hydraulic clutch? 

As is just about always the case with Mother Harley for years now; I don't get it.  Really glad I like my old bikes.

I have owned 3 CVO,s and each time I purchased one it was because of all the feature benefits that came on it. Bigger motors, better stereo, heated seats, heated grips, comfortable seats and ultra nice floor boards, padded and light luggage compartments, paint was near the bottom of list. You can not ride fancy paint. So now for more than 40k you get what? fancy paint. I bought a 2019 Z06 for 82k. You really don't want to compare the features of the car with these overpriced bikes. I want a new bike but looks like a RG Limited with added stretch bags, some custom paint work and motor work that i would have done to the CVO anyway. Or maybe buy a 2015-16 model CVO after it has lost 1/2 its sales price. I just wish HD would make touring bikes for touring and hot rod bike for bar hoping. I think the MotoCo has lost its way.

I will say I saw the Charred Crimson on the Trike in person and the pics dont do it justice, its absolutely beautiful IMO.  With that being said I also saw the spoked 21 inch wheels and was not a fan..
