The fork tubes on the CVO are actually 2 in. longer than on a Road Glide Special or Standard. The CVO Road Glide has the 21in. Knockout Tire kit on it. If you purchase the kit for your Road Glide Special, you get the longer fork tubes. Look it up. So, you do not give up any fork travel on the CVO.
Thanks for the info. Are the forks firmer? HD gave me aheads up about the forks before they gave me the bike, that they can be a little rough on curbs.
@@FreddySherman Shouldn't be firmer. I replaced the internal of my front suspension with Legend Aero 21KO kit. It is a much more plush, yet better handling ride than stock. It is an actual cartridge that you replace everything inside the fors with. www.legendsuspension.com
@@chrismorris9065 Cool info. I found it a bit rougher than other bikes when going slow over driveway curbs and low bumps like that. No issues at speed.
On the left that’s the horn cover the black bell shaped. And the hook up beside the seat is for battery tender hook up not rear passenger CB hook up. Glad you you made the video and enjoyed the bike I ride a CVO street glide they are sweet bikes. 👍🏽
Thank you for watching and for your comment. Unfortunately, I am a motorcycle writer so I only get the bike for a month or so then I have to give it back to Harley!
Yes, that's why they only offer that motor on the CVO bikes, if you want it, you need to buy the CVO. I don't think it's worth the price, it's just for guys who want to say they own the most expensive Harley, like having an AMG MBZ. Thanks for watching.
I am so HAPPY for you and at the same time JEALOUS.😂Want me uh CVO.😭My Road King Special keeping me very happy right now.Are you gonna go straight stage 5 or ride for uh bit?
I agree but they wanted to release a super-expensive bike because there's a lot of rich guys out there who want to own "the most expensive Harley"regardless of what the bike is like.
@@FreddyShermanI'm confused.I thought this was your CVO.I could of swore i heard you say in the review that you ridden this CVO multiple places.I thought in uh review for the dealership it's just for uh few miles to do the pre inspection miles to make sure the bike is fine.What's are South California Morning Temperatures like?
@@levievans9311 No, I write about motorcycles and review them. I work with Harley and they give me a bike for a few weeks. I ride it around LA, take it on road trips and then review and write about it.
@@FreddyShermanWow!I can't believe they gave you the CVO!Meaning people who purchase them don't want any miles on them beside the Inspection ride.Nice Job though!
@@levievans9311 Thank you. The bikes I get are press fleet bikes,, Harley keeps them for journalists and other uses. The bikes are also used for TV shows, like Sons of Anarchy.
It's not for normal people, it's for rich people who want to say they own the most expensive Harley you can get. It's a smart marketing move to create an ultra-premium motorcycle because people will pay it. Also, $44K is crazy expensive for a motorcycle but it's not hundreds of thousands of dollars like an exotic car. Thank you for watching and for your comment!
@@levievans9311 But it's not just about winter. I live in LA and you could use heated grips during a lot of early morning rides in Southern California. The other CVO models do have them. Thanks for watching.
@@FreddyShermanGot you.Will keep that in mind.I'm in New York City.The heated grips does nothing for the wind beaten on the face of the fingers.Gonna go with the Heated gloves.I rode all winter.My fingers took uh beaten this winter.😭What's the early morning temperatures in South California?
It’s a shame that the second you leave the parking lot, bikes like this lose about 15-17k💰💰💰, and yet 50k out the door, and I don’t think it had heated Grips ??
Sadly, any new bike or car loses 20-25% as soon as you drive it away! No, I don't believe it had heated grips, , the CVO Limited (tourer) and the CVO Street Glide do have them with what H-D calls the Kahuna Collection trim option.
Luxury Fred Of course, “most” anything with an engine loses 💰💰. However, I own a 2017 LowRider.S, Perhaps one of the most desirable Harley’s, I already been offered 17k, and by a dealer no less. It has less than 1200 miles, and its Mint. But even though I detail it more than I Ride it, I can’t get rid of it. ❤️🇺🇸 But 50k on a bike, sorry , heck that’s a down payment on a house
I agree, this bike is for rich people who don't care about the price and just want the best, or the most expensive model. I like the Low Rider, haven't ridden it but I have ridden the Fatboy Lo, a few years ago.
It will only appreciate in your heart everyday.Especially if your not planning on selling it.(Yes!You are right.The money will go down big time once you ride off)
Lmfao. I took the time to write this comment to let you know that you intro, “ok, check it out, check it out”, was so stupid that I literally cringed paused the video at 0:08 seconds and wrote this comment. Before I skip the shit out of this video. Please for the love of God. DONT EVER USE THAT INTRO OR GREETING EVER AGAIN!!! If Harley Davidson is still wondering why they can’t get any younger riders to buy their bikes, I’ll give you 2 reasons. #1: the bikes are amazing but stupidly priced at ridiculous prices. #2: people who make review videos about bikes and have no idea how to reach out to the younger crowd by doing and saying shit like “ok, check it out, check it out”. You might as well put on a hat sideways, start saying dumb shit like “ok, dawg, we going to peep this sick ass motorbike. So let’s go homies and chickidy check this whip”. Please leave this kinda shit to guys like laid law Harley-Davidson. You need to stay off the internet and sit down.
Thanks for watching the video and for taking the time to drop an inane comment. Who cares about younger riders and who cares about who HD wants to reach? I make videos for my 33,000 subscribers and the future subscribers who watch and like my reviews. I don't like people trying to sound young or use trendy catchphrases either and I don't do it in my videos.
I've had a lot of bikes. Fat boy, street gliud, Big dog chopper, when I say you're going to lose 10,000 dollars in 3 yrs on that OVER priced bike. You can believe me ! 42000 insane
It's like an AMG Benz or a Rolls-Royce, some people want the most expensive thing, so HD had to make a super expensive bike for them. What would you think if you bought a used one, after the depreciation.
I'm just a regular guy who gets to ride great bikes and write about it. I'm not an expert. Thank you for watching, you can read more at www.luxuryfred.com.
Let’s get something straight right now .. No bike is worth paying $ 43,000 for. ...... You’re talking EGO Funny 😆 though ... you wanna talk Power ? ( go look at a k1600 BMW ) Cruiser Adam Sandoval did a Stage 4 on a Road Glide .... Bike blew up ! He bought an Indain . Nice try 😆
I agree, it's all about ego, Harley wanted a super expensive bike so people can say I own the most expensive Harley you can buy. Also, I think there are Ducati bikes that are worth paying $43K for! Thank you for watching.
BWAHAHAHAHA 😂😂 I walked into Huntington Beach Harley this evening right before closing time . As soon as you walk in to the right , they have a nice CVO ( entrance door ) price tag said ... $ 50 k ( I tried not to laugh 😂 , I was being watched ) I walked in there shopping for some boots . Nice 👍 People , nice Harley’s ... but the prices !!! Oooooh Weee ! 😮
That's kind of the point. They wanted to have a super-expensive bike for the people who wanted to own, the "most expensive Harley you can buy". Thanks for watching.
Depends on perspective. Too many people buy the Road Glide Special. Modify with pipes,motor enhancements, and paint. Eventually exceeding the overall price of the CVO. I don't know anyone who leaves their bike completely stock.
Sorry dude, they sure do. Check the H-D website, the Road Glide has the Milwaukee-Eight 117 engine. www.harley-davidson.com/us/en/motorcycles/2019/cvo/cvo-road-glide.html

That "hoigh performance screaming eagle part" is the horn!
I know that now! Does it sound any different from the standard horn?
All the horns are the same on the FL Series
@@robb8773 Thank you for the info. I only get the bike for a few weeks to ride and review.
On the left that’s the horn cover the black bell shaped. And the hook up beside the seat is for battery tender hook up not rear passenger CB hook up. Glad you you made the video and enjoyed the bike I ride a CVO street glide they are sweet bikes. 👍🏽
Thank you for watching and for the info. I really had fun on it.
I'm pretty sure this sena unit doesn't need to be plugged in at all its all wireless/Bluetooth
@@x-matty-x Yes, you are correct. The plug I found is for the battery tender not the headsets. Thank you for watching.
TThe Sena 20S branded by Harley is Bluetooth wireless. You do not plug anything in to the bike. You have wireless communication with the Boom Box.
The black item on the left side of the engine just below the fuel tank is a high performance HORN cover!
Thank you!
Great review. Thank you
Thank you for watching it sir! I hope to do another Harley review next month, not sure which bike.
I’m so in love with this bike.
Me too! Thank you for watching the review.
Beautiful motorcycle, may you have many years of awesome riding😎
Thank you for watching and for your comment. Unfortunately, I am a motorcycle writer so I only get the bike for a month or so then I have to give it back to Harley!
Is the CVO fitted with a Screamin Eagle horn.? Or is it just a horn.?
I think so, but I'm not sure. The whole bike used to be referred to as the Screamin' Eagle before they used CVO.
Pretty awesome although I would love to have just the motor on my RGS. Really the paint or cvo name wouldn't be worth the price to me.
Yes, that's why they only offer that motor on the CVO bikes, if you want it, you need to buy the CVO. I don't think it's worth the price, it's just for guys who want to say they own the most expensive Harley, like having an AMG MBZ. Thanks for watching.
If you power I ride My triumph rocket 3 2300cc and to cruise I my Road glide I love them both
Very cool, I will check out that Triumph, I have never ridden one. Thank you for watching.
I just bought one I love it
Really!?Bless man.Enjoy that HOG!No CVO for me.(Would want one though)I do enjoy this 2018 Road King Special.😊
Awesome. Was it this same color combo?
No, mine is the Lightning silver and charred steel.

THE left side was the battery tender.

I still can’t get over the fact it doesn’t have heated grips...wtf?

I guess Harley believes the owners will baby these bikes and not ride in the winter.I could be wrong.
