Which wheels are you referring to, Frank, yours or the CVO's? If it's the wheels now on your TG, change them up with either powdercoating, chrome, or new wheels altogether.

 

Well, in considering moving from a 2014 up to a 2020, if the CVO is setup nicely,
id go with it. But to pay all the extra, and not have it setup , I just don’t know, unless
i can get a dealer to work with me.

 

The three P's are the difference , PRICE : Premium Paint : Power (117 c.i.) Should be a special order in my opinion ! Don't see many being sold at $49,000 !

 

I think the bumpers are fugly. If you need a bumper on a TriGlide, you need more practice,

 

more practice in what?

 

I was into my local dealer and they will have a white CVO Tri Glide in sometime next week. The salesperson said that they wanted to tack on $5k over the MSRP. Seems delusional to me but there are reportedly only going to be a limited number of them manufactured and there are likely enough fools that will bite on those rather stupid tactics?

This reminds me of items like the first Dodge Demons, the new 2020 mid-engine Corvette, etc. As they say, "There is an *** for every seat". What they don't say is that the *** is really a "dumb ***".

 

Dunno how I can practice to prevent someone from rolling into the TG when I am not even there.

Also, as an old fart, it is handy to grab on to and get back up to my feet when I've been on the floor under/next to it.

 

The CVO looks like a beautiful ride, however being retired it is out of reach for me. I'm certain that there will be sales for them. Congrats to those who are able to purchase one.

 

I just looked at a 2020 TG at work today, we don't have a CVO yet, but the three main differences I ca see is
1) No Heel Shifter( that's pretty much across all touring bikes)
2) No closeable vent on the front fairing, they eliminated the button, same as above
3) No more front fender tip light.

Seems to me that the bean counters are dictating styling now.

 

Unclerog, I have taken the short heel shifter off my Harleys for many years so that was not a big loss for me. The front vent control is rarely used on my Tri Glide Ultra because there is turbulence that is produced in the cockpit when I close the vent. I only close it during really cold weather or when I find myself riding in the rain.

The only part that I would really miss for both aesthetic and safety reasons is the front fender tip light. I think it really classes up the trike and also makes the front of the bike more conspicuous to oncoming traffic which is always a good deal. I think this was a rather big mistake on the MOCO's part and can't possibly have saved them very much expense in the build.
