What makes a CVO SE 110 Engine Special?
« on: May 04, 2014, 04:01:37 PM »
I don't know if special is the right word. But I'm having a hard time finding much information on CVO bikes. I realize the 110 engine is the biggest HD makes. But other than that, what does a SE engine have that other HD engines don't, if anything?

The 110 has different heads, cams, pistons and barrels. All other internal components are the same

Once tuned with a cam other than the use of the 255 for the moco to edge past emmissions testing, the heat is usually down substancially.

I am not a CVO expert but this is my second one. They do run hot but it doesn't seem to be much worse than the standard Ultra I had. Once you tune the bike up right it is much better. I have not noticed any reliability issues but that is just me.  The cost is high but the bikes are all custom, have great performance and lots of dress up (Chrome). To me the big deal is the engine and uniqueness (only a few made, hand painted,etc.). I think they look good. I like all bikes but this is my favorite bike to-date!  I just love her!

A CVO engine is NOT what many people assume, which would be an engine full of those parts in the Screamin' Eagle catalog.  What it really is, is a regular production engine that has a slightly larger displacement due to a larger bore, different but still street legal cams, and different but not true SE heads.  It's something anyone with a couple grand can do to a stock TC96/103 with pistons, jugs, heads, and cams. 

Btw, it is the largest displacement regular production engine Harley sells.  The 120R is not a street legal regular production engine (hint:  the R stands for Racing, not Street Legal).

Something else a CVO isn't is a "custom".  Custom implies one or very few copies, not the thousands of identical bikes Harley now sells as CVO's.  A modern day CVO is just a high end option package, no different than when you spring for the Limited Titanium package at the auto dealership.  The "custom" tag is just typical marketing hype.

I don't know what makes them special, but they must be. Some folks here are on their second or third 110 engine.

Not sure anymore but the 120 was produced by jims and sold by Harley. It is not a production motor sold in any new bikes unless the Dealer makes the change before the sale!!!

Jim is correct. They are only special IMHO only after you open them up and make a few changes!!!
