Figured after putting everything on it that I want, i will still save around $10k-$15k vs buying a CVO.

I don't have plans of getting a new bike anytime soon. However, this will probably be the route I take when the time comes. Hell, the "Specials" and Limited models now cost about what CVO's did not long ago. I predict in the next couple years we'll see a 60K CVO. And as always, it will probably have about $2k worth of extras in all reality compared to "standard" production models. I love my bike, but 41K was my limited. And even that is pretty ridiculous.

Overall, congrats on your new ride. CVO's have been really bland for the most part, but that paint scheme is awesome.

That was the sad part of buying a CVO special paint (if it came out ok) but then you start replacing lots of things.  Always thought it was a better deal to buy a std Harley and then get a set of special painted tins for it.  Does Harley still sell paint sets, if I recall they only made so many of each set.

They do. But you're talking damn near CVO pricing or more for everything.

Apex paint set was about  $4400 upcharge over vivid black.

This is a complicated topic as Harley upgraded their software in 2022 to require a connected headset for CarPlay to activate. So for bikes 2020 and newer, with the boom gts radio without whim, otherwise using a wired headset you can use a car play adapter that plugs into the rider intercom port on the console and fools the radio into thinking there is a headset connected and allows CarPlay. I don’t ever use a headset so for me, I needed a simple solution and this was it.
Since I removed the ugly console with the headset port, I relocated the port to under the seat with the adapter plugged in.
