Bittersweet, Traded my two Road Kings for a CVO Road Glide
#21
Solo with 50psi in shocks they are fine. 2 up is where they just don't perform to my satisfaction. Wife gets the worst of it and frankly, I'm tired of hearing her huff and cuss at every pothole, manhole cover and expansion joint.
If those Ohlins are stock length and you are interested in selling let me know. If the price is right I might be interested.

No problem. My local dealer had it marked down to 36K. He took off another 1K for me and gave me what I considered a fair price on my two trades. I have a long relationship with him. Have bought about 6 bikes from them over the years.
Didn't hurt that they had 9 CVO's of various configurations in stock and are getting nervous because in August the 2016's come out. The dealer knows they will have to discount further once the 2016's are released.

Pick up the new bike on Thursday. Hard to part with the two Road Kings, a 2007 and a 2003. They have been great bikes, rode them a combined nearly 90K miles, they never let me down or left me stranded. Like saying goodbye to an old friend but it's time to move on to a true long distance touring bike.
I hope this one is as reliable as the Road Kings.

I've only rode the bike about 20 miles but found the rear suspension to be fine. The Road Glide special I test rode before the CVO had horrible rear suspension. The suspension and intense heat on the right floorboard of the RG Special are why I chose the CVO. I had Ohlins 3-3 on both my Road Kings and thought about swapping them over to this CVO but right now I think I'm leaving the air shocks in place.
