After months of searching, I finally located and closed a deal on a 2013 anniversary CVO Road King. As excited as I am about the bike, I had the "misfortune" of of riding a Road Glide with a 120R the week prior so.....

I've got my dealer working on swapping the zero mile SE110 with a 120R....Nuts I must be.   

I'm trying to address the warranty (or lack thereof) through aftermarket options and still need to decide on exhaust (thinking Bassani with a ghost pipe), clutch and a way to add adding passing lights without ruining the front-end of the CVO looks.

I can't seem to stop smiling

Makes sense to me.........but ask around..




Congratulations

Great idea!  You will love the 120r

I just purchased passing lamps and turn signals that mount on the fork. Will post pics next week when installed

Brian,

He didnt say Fuggin Nuts, just Nuts    

Have you done a ride report yet on the motor, the bike handling and the mountain riding yet?

Thanks All!

I picked her up on Saturday (#254/900) I had just about given up on finding this one - I'm so glad I waited. First impressions have been great. I decided to enjoy the bike over the summer and wait until winter for the 120R. She goes back to the dealer next week for,

 - Exhaust swap - Bassani Road Rage II B4 w/ghost pipe
 - Addition of Passing lights with Phase 7 LEDs using the custom Aux brackets and relocation of the turn signals
 - Phase 7 LED Headlight and high beam/passing light override
 - SEPST

Also adding the Streamliner passenger boards with the adjustable mounts and using the existing pegs as highway pegs with the 360 mounts. I'm hoping the weather holds so I can get 500 miles on it before she goes back in for pipes and dyno/tuning.

I'm really surprised how much I'm enjoying the sound system - I've never had music on a bike before and at times, it's a really nice addition. The ONLY disappointment has been the Windsplitter  - IMO, it's completely useless for a rider over 6'1". I'm gong to order a stock RK shield.

You're not nuts.

Got mine in Nov.  Put a Fullsac head pipe, and 2.25 baffels in and a TTS tuner with 50 miles on the bike.  Then put 1000 miles on it in less than 72 hours, got the 1K service done.  Then in the next 3 weeks rode it until I had 2505 miles on it.  Then we took the top end apart, put 259E cams in it, sent the heads off for porting and polishing, 10.5 to 1 pistons, a 55 mm HPI throttle body, and 5.3 GPH injectors.

Then had it Tuned by Doc.  Over 120 HP and over 120 Torque, long flat torque curve, a total blast to ride.  I have just over 6600 miles on it now.  I also have in that time put 6K on my CVO Road Glide.

a way to add adding passing lights without ruining the front-end of the CVO looks.

Have you considered headwinds Lights
http://www.headwinds.com/mm5/merchant.mvc?Screen=CTGY&Store_Code=headwinds01&Category_Code=010101

They make a mounting bracket for my FLHRSEI2 that fits perfectly, when you remove the air deflector in the Nacelle. Has longer bolt and channels for the wires.
I went with the 2" Spotlights and 60w bulbs
Light Bar & Bolt Kit - 2' Spotlights - FLHR
http://www.headwinds.com/mm5/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Store_Code=headwinds01&Product_Code=2-2406A&Category_Code=

You can also get combo Spotlight/Turn Signal setup

IMHO, the 2" setup maintains the SERK look.

Very Nice Bike    Congrats

awesome bike! 

[CalmSeasQuest]

Thanks All!

She goes in for the new exhaust (Bassani RRII B4 w/Ghost), Passing lights, turn signal relocates and LEDs next Wednesday  - Can't wait to get rid of the stock exhaust.

I also ordered a Bluetooth receiver so I can stream music (MOG) through my cell rather than use the iPod. I'm also hoping to be able to pull a bit more base than seems possible with the iPod.

All in all I LOVE this ride. My only complaint thus far is the Windsplitter. At 6'2" I find it useless. Planning on replacing it with a stock RK shield.  I've worked out a warranty arrangement with my dealer for the 120R, so I'm planning on riding this summer and doing the engine over the winter.

Congrats on the new ride and the 120R is one of my best upgrade yet! You won't be disappointed...

  . 120R would tend to put a smile on one's face

What a  great night - Evening ride covering about 100 miles of the area's most twisty roads - I LOVE this bike 

I installed the Bluetooth receiver (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00727FE5U/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i01?ie=UTF8&psc=1r) allowing me to stream music from; and use the equalizer in my Note 2. To my ear, I'm able to achieve a bit more base than the iPod provides.
