I have my 2019 set how I want it. Color I can live with, but the drivetrain is VERY nice with a little help from my friends!
(Thanks Dave for the input from your 2019 build, it helped with my decision what to build into my motor! LOL)

2019 with over 100,000 miles and still running strong.
You are welcome.  100K is awesome.  That build is so much fun to ride, and easy to ride with power every where.

My 2021 CVO Street Glide FLHXSE is exactly what I imagine a Harley to look like: lots of chrome and a beautiful paint scheme.
I upgraded the engine to a 131 cubic inch (cui), and the seat and handlebars are perfectly tuned for me.
The suspension I've changend to Bitubo cartridges at the front and Ohlins HD 779s at the rear.

I've had my CVO since August 2021 and have ridden 34,000 km without any mechanical issues.
There's no reason for me to switch to one of the currently available CVOs.
At almost 69, I'll ride my actual Street Glide for as long as I can and the bike is running  :)

 I just do not like the looks of the newer bikes. the electronics on the newer bikes is another reason for dislike.

The way the new bikes depreciate keeps me from even considering new.  So many very low mileage mint bikes with desirables adds for a fraction of the price of new!

I really need to upgrade as mine is 13 years old and over 100k on the clock. Paint for the past 10 has been blah. You can't just stick a CVO emblem on a scoot and make it special. Therefore, I am stuck in the past. Bars are now 12" meat hooks.

Good looking King.  Now days one or two of the paint schemes look good.  Prior to 15 every paint scheme look great.
