Go to the forums for any make or model bike and you will see problems listed. This site would be pretty boring if everyone just logged on and wrote " My bike is great and I have never had a problem with it". Obviously, not everything on the forum is a problem either. It's just the fact that none of us is capable of leaving well enough alone and we share ways to modify our bikes, or better ways to do the same task, or provide guidance to where things are available, and so forth. Some of it is just plain old communication between people with a common interest, and that interest(the CVO's) is just one arm of the greater Harley family, for which we are all a part and I am proud to be a part of that family. I have had zero problems with my new CVO and I had no problems with my last Harley. I expect that if I tinker enough, eventually I'll have a problem to solve and what a great place this is to find the solution. So, if you are worried about buying that new Harley, git'r'done. Your family is awaiting you.
