  • Was the Harley Davidson CVO Road Glide ST the bike for me? We got the chance to enjoy a 2024 ‪@harleydavidson‬ CVO Road Glide ST for a few weeks and it's an amazing bike. It's worth the hype and the investment for sure. I am not in the market till later this year, but it's going to be a hard choice when the time comes!

    DUDE, I had an 85 FLHTC with the batwing fairing. I had a cigarette lighter, and an AM/FM/Cassette on a bracket with the speakers attached through drilled holes through the fairing. I also had a Kawasaki KZ 1100 with the Vetter fairing, saddlebags, and trunk. I feel so old now, lol.

    The '24 ST has a plastic oil pan and plastic 1/4 turn oil drain plugs which they did for weight reduction? Wow, Harley must have saved .05 lb. People are stripping out the drain plugs. Regardless It's not a good idea. That in itself is a deal killer for me. 😔

    I'm not in the tax bracket for a CVO but do believe 2024 will be looked back on as a "milestone" year. So im looking at the base model (color upcharge) Street Glide (prefer the cockpit of the SG and dig the pistol tray). Getting closer. So close that i actually AVOID the dealership lol
    What i wanna know is - Can i get those "frame slider" style crash bar (front an rear) on a non CVO SG? They look so much more up to date that the big old (loop style) engine an bag guards.

    I am curious how your flight from Amsterdam was 17 hours, did you have a layover somewhere, I only ask as my wife just spent a week in Hamburg and flew direct from IAH in Houston to Amsterdam and it was 10 hours and flew direct from Frankfurter to IAH Houston and it was 10.5 hours so Amerstdam to Miami should not be more than 10 hours I would think.

    IMHO HD has targeted the buyer who has deep pockets. I feel they are narrowing their market and doing themselves and the whole adventure of motorcycling a dis-service. The direction of Royal Enfield is something HD should be looking at very closely. It’s about expanding the desire of motorcycling and making the bikes affordable to entry motorcyclists. JMHO…

    I don't need a stereo or any other electronics. I don't need a top bag either.

Cut the key to length needed and heat it and press it into the knob and melt it into them. Fill the back with some epoxy and there you go a key, just put it in the gas lid and leave it.

    As you were going over the old Harley bits, nothing surprising. That was the 80’s. Then you said the engine had 50hp, and I was like WTF? I thought by then those engines were putting out around 70hp. My 05 Sportster put out 57hp and that bike probably weighs half as much as your bike.
    Can’t believe 50hp can move that bike with two people on it.

Two speakers on the handlebars, and two on the engine guards. Easy to install, costs less than $200 on Amazon, and me and the Mrs. enjoy music when we want too. The low end is a little thin, but still enjoyable to listen to while riding. Just a suggestion.

    Love my 2010 Road King, most of the time I'm just fine with it not having a stereo or hands free cell capabilities. Hell, I didn't even have windshield the first couple years I had it. I'm the third owner so I'm guessing the windshield it came with is sitting forgotten in the back of one of the first two owners garage or basement. Having said that, if I should happen to come across a fairing that uses the existing QD windshield mount for easy install/removal with a plug and play stereo built in for the right price i would most likely get it for all day rides and long trips.

I live in New Mexico and have taken that I-40 route numerous times. I have also done I-40 from New Mexico to the Laughlin River Run a couple dozen of times, occasionally in wind so bad that semi’s were flipped on their sides.
