lmfao...I kno wher tha 1 beer ends up. Ever get tha way, yeah man. Please, grab me tell me I got that messed up I sleep in the garage.

 

I got your point and I'm starting to feel more and more like I should just do a stock deluxe instead of doing a CVO. Cause in the end, I'm gonna do pretty much the same that we always do, wheels, bars, cables, all that other stuff too.

I appreciate the help with my decision too, thats why I asked all of you guys. Its better to get other opinions than just mine.

 

I'd go the CVO route, but I'm biased There are a lot of chrome goodies plus the bike cover, GPS, windshield, bags, the custom paint and the 110 that would just sway me more that way. What color is the CVO you are looking at? I guess you'd have to really love the paint in the end. I'm sure whatever you end up doing will be awesome in the end. I'm looking at changing my wheels on my CVO at the moment (21+18).

 

Its the tunsten/Chrystal black one. Just like the one in your SIG. The paint is awesome, I'm just having a tough time pulling the trigger on it.

Spindrifter, can you tell me if your fender is different than the Stock deluxe front fender? Also, how strong is that SE 110?

 

seems the CVO owners wouldn't change their bike much, or as much as you want to change it. So why bother changing what they think is a completed bike.

 

I'm not a fan of the Deluxe CVO, I don't like the paint schemes, the tank emblems, despise the wheels. (If I could find a stronger word for "despise" that i could use in a public forum I'd use it.) & don't like the exhaust & air filter - I understand you'll probably change the pipes & cleaner.
In my eyes the only reason to buy the CVO is how bad do you want the 110 motor?

 

Have a friend that works at harley, says they have or will have a kit out soon to convert your 103 to the 110. it's about 2500 not including labor

 

same old story, when the new bright shiny toy comes out, they drop their 2 year old toy to buy the new one..gotta have the iphone five then 6 months later gotta get the six..again, some people like to tinker..but if not for those people we wouldn't be where we are today.

 

I really like CVO Deluxe bikes. I looked for one for quite awhile and if i had gotten one i wouldn't change it much because i like them, paint, chrome etc. And they do keep their value over a customized Deluxe that might have the same invested in it.

So if i were you, wanting to customize, i'd go with the non CVO and then build your bike to your specs.

Non CVO, why invest more money, then change it up, when modding would actually devalue the bike.

Modding a non CVO, built to your specs would satisfy your vision of the bike.

And down the road, would most likely increase the value (not dollar for dollar) to the right customer.

 

If your going to buy a bike to make it your own I think its the best plan to buy the cheapest model and start from there, the 110 is poop..if the bike had the 120r well that's a different story, trust me when you run into a 120 and you have a 110 you will be sorry you paid extra I had a guy pull up next to me with a cvo springer that had a 110 my "little" 95 motor had the guy looking for another gear LOL... I have seen your old bike on the forums in the past and I would have taken that bike over any CVO period...
