Torque Monster
By (I am an Owner) on Jan 27, 2013Awesome motor with plenty of get up and go for two up riding. It has spoiled me on thinking of ever getting any other motorcycle. It does have some things that could be improved on. The passenger is on top of you and there is no way the driver can use the back rest ridding two up. My wife is small ... and I don't know how a average size person would fit. The handlebars are too far forward and set too low causing you not to be able to get into a comfy slouch but sit bolt upright. You will get sore between the shoulders after just a few hours due to the bars and no one has a replacement for the CVO yet with the heated grip and throttle by wire. The I-Pod only remembers what song you were on some of the times after shutting off the bike. There is way too much trail set in the front end causing ill handling in corners. The trail is set for in line stability to the detriment of everything else. No bike is perfect but for the price of these I would expect them to be a little closer.

Good Bike but missed the mark
By (I am an Owner) on Jul 01, 2012Bike is well put together with practically every available option already on it. A few complaints to keep in mind are:
Tour pac and saddle bags have a lot of wires in them due to all the extra electronics so HD has included liners for all of them. The saddle bags loose storage due to the ... liners so you actually might want to leave them out for those road trips. Tour pac has a lid liner to cover the wires in the lid and as a result it is not really allowing you to put an organizer in the lid. A big issue that I have come across is the passenger seat back has the lumbar support and as a result this shortens the seat by about 3 inches almost putting the the passenger on top of the rider back rest. My wife is 5' and 100lbs soaking wet so for her to be having problems with this makes me think HD didn't think this one through. Only solution is to go with Kuryakyn slider for $260. HD's response is that the bike was built with passenger in mind and it is up to buyer to customize the fit. Be sure to try the fit before you buy.

Saweeet
By (I am an Owner) on May 31, 2012Got my CVO about a week ago. Love everything on it but might upgrade to a taller windshield as I don't like getting plastered in the face. Also thesmall comparments in the lowers are on a snap but a magnetic upgrade is available.
All the power you want, great ride, smooth, fast, ... SICK bike!

Very Pleased
By (I am an Owner) on Apr 10, 2012This is an awesome bike, I have only one complaint in the motor makes noise, rattles on low throttle light load. Open your garage door with the headlight switch is just too nice. Radio is awesome too. Everything about it is awesome.
