About two weeks ago I was the happy owner of brand new CVO Convertible. I had done the deal of my life, (which also was part of the arguments I put forward to my wife) because contrary to my friends having bought standard Harleys, I would not need to spend a small fortune on mods.
The bike simply looked great the way it was delivered.

But one day Google took me on a slippery route towards www.cvoharley.com 

Now, two weeks later I have list longer than anything I ever wrote to Santa.
Another thing, it's not a which list, it's all Must Have.

On top of it, a moderator states that this is "free site", yeah right 

I suggest a "before you enter" warning on the home page.
This could include;
- you risk loosing the sense for what's reasonable 
- solutions how to mod the impossible will be freely adviced by fellow members 
- you might consume threads as an alternative to eating
- Pictures will be used to convince you that your stock bike isn't that nice after all 
Etc....
 

Anyway, in my case damage is done,  and I'm now a happy Converted Convertible owner instead 

Thanks for a great site!

Fair warning...  Once inflicted, there is no cure for the disease.  Don't think for a minute the damage is done.  Fact is, it's only starting!   

[Pegus]

Yep, as I still have some unread threads to go through, you are probably right!!!

Do like Me and set your budget at $750 and stick to it.

TYPO! Hogbreath missed a couple of zero's.

[Chains]

Do like me and throw away the receipts, its only money, you can't take it with you  

[Pegus]

Ok, thanks for the tips!!

If I combine them, they should read something like;

No single receipt above $750 (HogBreath, that's what you ment right?), and then throw away any proof thereof!

Don't recall seeing any photos of these mods. Let's get crackin'!

For me that's per trip to the dealership 

[Pegus]

Hi Buy early,

Just got on the site a few weeks back, so so far it's just a list.

Mods will follow at a reasonable pace.

But for pics see the thread below that really got me inspired!!!

No mods? Yep...I thought the same thing. But as many warned when I joined this site...they love to help you spend YOUR money.

[Jock]

Enjoy your build...

This is worse than a friggin' coke habit ya know..

The main argument I had to my wife to justify the higher cost of the CVO over a regular harley was that I would never have to spend anymore money on it as it came fully customized.  Recently, four years later my wife looked me in the eye and said " there just isn't a quitting place " to finding things I want to do to my bike.  All I could do was hang my head low.
