Is a touring CVO really worth over $40k?

My '19 SGS has just about all of the bells and whistles, that come standard on a SG CVO plus a bunch more, except for the Paint Scheme. So I will say that, yes you can make a regular model "almost "like a CVO.
With the cost all of the things I have added to my SGS, I could have purchased a CVO, but there are things I would have needed to add even then.
So, IMHO, it just comes down to how bad you want the CVO paint scheme. You can spend the money either way.

Well, just pointing out it's more than just the paint. Not sure if you can tell the difference but, there is a old saying......"there's no replacement for displacement "

That depends on what's important to you. For $40k you could buy my 2012 Mustang Convertible, My 2003 FLHTCUI, My 2000 Mastercraft Prostar190, and my 2000 Crest 25 ft pontoon. They're depreciated, but well maintained, and function perfectly well. I see no reason to try to impress CaffeineBuzz.

I found a leftover CVO Road glide that I’ve been looking to get. Even if I were able to get it for $40k even, I believe my bike is worth about $15k on trade. So I am finding myself asking is a leftover CVO road glide worth trade of my road glide PLUS $25k + tax and fees? I can do a hell of a lot of mods to my bike for $25k. The obvious difference would be resale value.

Is this feeling you have just relegated to CVO's, or does it equally apply to automobiles and other non-CVO motorcycles? Many times people will give a thumbs up or say "hey, that's a nice car" to owners driving various sports cars (ie Corvette, Viper, Ferrari, Lamborghini, Muscle Cars, etc) and these people for the most part didn't do anything to customize their vehicle besides the wax shine. So, according to you, these people shouldn't feel proud? 
Don’t get me wrong, I don’t begrudge anyone that buys a CVO (especially any of the 2019 Road Glide CVOs). I’ve considered it, but chose not to because I can make a one of a kind true custom for about the same price and it makes me feel proud that I made it... it’s mine... no other is like it.
