Rich, lucky bastage!

Anything after the word CVO is superfluous!

Seriously though, go ahead and pull the trigger and get either one! I would give an arm, leg and my right ******** to be faced with such a choice!

The wife and I went to the dealer tonite so he could check out what they had. They didn't have the CVO Ultra but they had the CVO RG and the Ultra Limited Anniversary.

Looks like the RG gets the vote. We will need the tour pack but damn, $1499 for the anniversary color seems somewhat high.

Needless to say, it's #96 of 900

Not all CVO 110's are the same. Check the torque spec's. You will see that the RGC CVO has more punch stock than the others.

122 ft. lbs. at the crank. Others range from 103 to 118 at the crank.

On my 12 RGC CVO at 55 mph in 6th gear I can twist the throttle and almost get pulled off. It is 25 lbs. lighter also.

I am considering the Road Glide over the idea of the fixed fairing. This only became an option as a person backed out of their deposit and its currently at the dealer.

I hate when I am not 100% but have read a lot of good posts on the Road Glides...anything I may miss before I might pull the trigger ?


Listen to me, go ride the roadglide before you buy any of them. Not just any of them but the one you are wanting to buy, hell, ride the rest of them too. Be sure before you drop the coin, there are no "take backs" or "redos" when its over.

According to his signature, looks like he went with the RG. Apparently he doesn't understand the rules of posting pics.......lol

Having ridden both batwing and shark nose, I'd have gone with the CVO Ultra. Road Glide was seriously uncomfortable for me.
