Default 110 CVO Limited vs 103 Ultra Limited

Aside from the bigger motor and some other cosmetic/comfort amenities, there is not as much extra stuff on the 2014 CVO vs prior model years. My question, since I have never ridden a 110, is how much more power is there? There is about an $11K difference in price (2 tone Limited vs CVO) so is the motor worth it?

I got an 09 FLHTP w/ 2.5K in paint, 1.5k in motor work. Looks better, runs better than your CVO! 4 shows this summer, 1 first, 1 second and one top three!

Didn't pay any where near what you did. Got a ONE off paint job, runs circles around any CVO. Got a good friend who rides an 03 CVO 103, he paid gobs of money to get 100HP out of his bike. It's nice and quick, but not any where as streetable as mine @ 1/2 the price.

You can play their game or write your own rules.

Not had mine o a dyno'd yet, not excpecting 100HP, but really liking what I did @ 1/2 price! Thinking 85hp/105T.

Dan - I don't own a CVO. I was just asking the question. In fact, I stated that I was asking because I have never ridden one...

That thread doesn't say anything about the power difference between 103 and 110.

The 110 makes a lot more hp and tq. The cvo has a lot more cool stuff on it as well. The cvo will hold its value better too. Yes, you could spend 11k on a limited and make it a sweet bike. But you would never get that 11k back when you trade. Keep in mind that the 110's are a very noisy engine, more so than the 103.

I guess that making your own rules allows you not to READ the Op tread?

The Op does not own a CVO or ridden one and just wanted some info.

I not one to bash anyone on line or in life, but I'm sure your bike looks great and runs killer.
But your numbers (for what you think you may have) may not run circles around a non CVO or CVO scoots.

BTW- I own a CVO because I CAN and WANTED one!!!

And I don't **** on anyone because of what they ride CVO or not, Harley or non.

Okay, now I can get some coffee.

I still believe that the best bang for the buck is a Limited!

Like you have said it comes with a lot of features that comes on a CVO but $11-12K difference.

Stock vs stock motors on both there is a difference in power as the stock 110" has more horses.

Pending how thick your wallet is, you can make any 103" into a real rocket just like anything else or upgrade to larger engines like 106s, 107s, 110s, 113s, 117s, 124s, etc,etc.

Some of the 110" have had a big problem with eating lifters.
