I would never buy the CVO. It's Standard model RG for me all the way. Why? Because you end up changing sh$t out off the bike anyway to make it fit you and make it your own. I can't Even imagine paying $45k for a bike and then still putting even more money out to change the bars, seat, exhaust, foot boards ect... What the Hell was the point of getting the CVO if you weren't going to keep it stock? The Standard model is a better platform to make it your own.

I'm mean its a killer bike and I'm not trying to bash the decision or the bike and if you have that kind of money then go for it. I'm just saying for the money I personally wouldn't go that direction. But then again I'm broke. Lol.

 

So basically the Ohlins shock comes with the pre load adjustment **** and then you just get the cover from Harley Davidson?

 

I have both the stock HD bags and the Leather Pros and swap them out as needed. The shock is an Ohlins HD 516 with pre load. I'm running 8" straight risers currently but may go to 9.5" pullback for a little more relaxed arm. Clearview has mulitple sizes, I went with the L based on the information on the CV site.

 

That shock is a pretty penny. How's the performance over stock?

 

@Zakk13 worth every single penny, I'd do it again without question

 

exactly

 

Wow, under $100. Amazing! That's not that bad. I've see before but nothing to mount there. But I see it comes with bracket for that. Humm... I don't need adjustment, and I don't need it displayed, but at least it's a good mount solution. The bracket that came with it didn't fit well where intended to my satisfaction. Nice!

 

I remember you now. You were inquiring about the st a while back. Once a penny pincher always a penny pincer. 😂. Nothing wrong with that. A lot of buyers are buying older low rider s models and putting the advanblack st fairing on and saving some money. The advantage of being able to put different bags on it is another advantage on going with an s model. The s and st are the same bike. Basically.

 

Dam right I'm pinching pennies. Lol. Well not really. Considering Im about to blow every last penny I have on a bike and say F it all. I almost bought a 2022 Lowrider ST when they first came out but the dealership was price gouging in the pandemic and I walked. Probably would own one right now if it wasn't for that. I guess I should thank them because now I have a badass Crossbones I bought in mint condition.

With that said Im at the point where If i am going to drop that kind of money. Money I really dont have. Its going to be on the right bike. Im back and forth. Is it going to be 2024 Road Glide or Lowrider ST? Or 2025? Dont know but its between those 2 bikes.

I wouldnt go the Lowrider S route. The front front suspension is different and I don't want to have to build a bike. Wouldn't hold its value as well either. Only way that route makes sense is for people who already own them.

 

the s and st inverted forks are no better than any other m8 softail in stock form. They are inverted shell’s with the same guts that regular forks have. It takes a cartridge kit then u have true inverted forks. In today’s market is anything holding a value.
