Mines the exact same and is due in at the end of the month. Be sure to let me know if it was the right decision. Otherwise I'll cancel mine LOL if u feel that way. On the fence if I keep my 15 and add to the shop or trade and not look back?

Mine is awaiting the 117 kit, which gives me time to return mine to stock. They are giving me good number on trade but not one that would have me leave all my extras on it. Already got in touch w Joe at Xtreme Dimensions to color match my tour pak..

I'm in the Dublin airport flying back today. Landing and headed straight to dealership. This is gonna be a long day with 14 hrs in the air. The prize at home is definitely worth it though.

I have a '15 CVO, same color as yours. I did heads and 117cu in motor.. After riding the new M*, I will be keeping mine till I NEED to get a new one. I could see no huge reason to trade. Only cool new features are a flip-key and new dash/gauge surround.

I believe it is the same as the '14- on Rushmore part.

Well, I drove it home this afternoon. Had the new Harley Street Cannon mufflers put on along with the new Harley Street Tuner. It did 91hp on the Dyno and 118 ft lbs torque.

I only have a 35 mile sample, but the bike is pretty impressive. The engine is much quieter than my previous 110 with much less valve clatter. The idle is also smoother but not smooth, if that makes any sense. The power is linear and deceptive. It pulls strongly throughout the gears and seems effortless. Clutch engagement seems the same as previous CVOs and the transmission seemed somewhat smoother but still felt positive engagements on both upshifts and downshifts. Found neutral fairly easily. The suspension is noticeably better, front and rear. Took the bumps and lousy roads in stride and made me very confident in short order. The exhaust note is interesting. It's deep and bassy under power but a little muffled at idle. Sort of reminds me of the sound that old Chriscraft boats make with the noise burbling in the water as it exits the through- hull exhaust. It's distinctive and clearly a Harley but I think I would like a bit more volume. Will have to drive it more before I can render a final verdict. More tomorrow after a longer ride.
