Are they really worth it?? Couldn't somebody just add on everything to a stock Harley for less money?

 

You could, but at the end of the day you have a $23,000.00 bike with $10,000.00 worth of accessories. When you go to sell it you'll get far less for it than a SE Harley

 

Didn't think of it that way...

 

Also, not if you were paying retail for the "everything". And then there is the fact that some of the stuff is available exclusively to CVO owners.

 

I think it will cost you more to take a stock bike and convert it to a CVO SE. My husband has spent way more money to make his bike CVO-like than it cost me to purchase my Convertible.

 

Most us CVO owners are kinda crazy about the bike/year/color we bought -

When you find one that does it for you, you'll have one too, be it a CVO or whatever ...

 

JMO - but pictures of CVO scooters simply do not do them justice. In pics, some look kind of tacky, but they all look great in person. Case-in-point, the 2012 in black & orange.

 

Or the 2012 CVO Convertible in that blue. It's great, and it's got a black frame, which I believe all bikes should have.

 

There is something to be said for the V.I.N. stating it's a CVO, (even if it's got a 100,000 miles on it)

And no, not even on my old bike let alone the fancier newer models could you 'upgrade' a stock bike for the same money

 

If your going to put a lot of money in your bike fixing it up you are a lot better off getting a CVO.

One of the misconceptions is if you buy a CVO you wont be spending a lot of money updating and or adding stuff. A lot of CVO owners still spend tons of money on their bikes changing them to their taste.
