2017 FLTRXS Solar Eclipse Replacing 2016 CVO Street Glide
« on: October 11, 2021, 07:51:33 PM »

No longer am I a CVO Aficionado, am selling my 2016 CVO Street Glide and have purchased a 2017 Road Glide Special (Solar Eclipse) c/w the 107 Stage 1, which is just the beginning.

I was surprised how much less engine noise (probably due to only one cam) and how much more get up and go it has compared to the 110".

The ride was a lot more smoother even with the 12" HD Adjustable Shocks which will be replaced with Russ Vernimont RRWD S-1 rear Shocks.

Wow, great looking bike. Let the mod's begin. I'll bet Joe could do a paint match if you decide on some lowers.

Already have a set of Gloss Black Lowers. There is a guy in Calgary who can match the paint perfectly. Used him in the past when I dropped my original Road Glide in Grant's Pass. Thanks
