Based on a totally unique frame
design with wide, fully polished and chrome-plated swing arm, fully
polished chrome cast aluminum oil tank and a host of premium components
and accessories, the CVO Softail Springer stands alone in the factory
custom category.

As one of just two 2009 Harley-Davidson models with the quintessential
Springer front fork design, the CVO Softail Springer presents a
spiritual and exhilarating ride with authentic look and feel. The
faithfully styled front end rides on an 18 x 3.5-inch Road Winder wheel
and 130 mm tire with a new four-piston brake caliper with chrome forged
mount, color-matched rigid forks and chromed spring components. The new
wide 240 mm rear tire and custom Bobtail wide rear fender with louver
accents ride on a new 18 x 8-inch Road Winder forged chrome wheel.

The third edition creation from Harley-Davidson CVO melds time honored
Harley-Davidson engineering technology and styling creativity with an
exclusive Screamin’ Eagle Twin Cam 110B engine, stunning Genuine Motor
Accessories and sizzling color options.


With a new, exclusively designed frame, chrome swingarm and specially
tuned suspension, the CVO Springer is a Softail unlike any other. The
custom seat with Buffalo inserts highlighted by contrast embroidered
flames and CVO logo stretches to a custom full-length chrome fuel tank
console and is topped with a five-inch speedometer with spun aluminum
face. The forward facing exposed Heavy Breather intake carries a
special “110” tube emblem and chrome end cap. Other new components
include a chrome slash-down staggered dual mufflers with full length
exhaust shields, Bullet mirrors with shortened stems, and chrome-plated
dipstick, fork inserts, fender struts and covers, swingarm pivot bolt
covers, axle nut covers, tank emblems and wheel spacers.

The Harley-Davidson CVO group creates limited-production, exclusive
motorcycles produced by a team of highly skilled technicians in a
special assembly area at the Harley-Davidson plants in York, Pa., and
Kansas City. Approximately 2,500 of the 2009 CVO Softail Springer will
be assembled at the York Vehicle Operations facility. The suggested
U.S. retail price for the 2009 CVO Softail Springer is $26,999 ($27,099
in California).

The CVO Softail Springer also features exclusive granite and chrome
treatment on the largest-displacement production engine offered by
Harley-Davidson. The Screamin’ Eagle 110-cid (1800cc) Twin Cam 110B, a
high-performance V-Twin engine, delivers top performance with 110 ft.
lbs. of torque at 3000 rpm thanks in part to the free flowing Heavy
Breather intake. The engine is rigid-mounted in the Softail frame,
equipped with internal counter-balanced shafts and is mated to a
6-speed Cruise Drive transmission for lower cruising rpm in top gear.

The Centerline accessory collection returns for 2009 with grips,
footpegs and brake and shifter pedals, and horn cover. Chrome
accessorized components include the brake and clutch master cylinders,
voltage regulator, switch housings, belt guard, debris deflector and
shift lever. Front and rear brakes include Road Winder rotors and the
calipers match the Granite engine treatment.

The CVO Softail Springer will be offered in three exclusive color
combinations for 2009: Black Diamond with Emerald Ice Flames, Candy
Cobalt with Blue Steel Flames, and Sunrise Yellow Pearl with Volcanic
Fury Flames. The metal grind flames are topped with Candy highlights
making every vehicle truly custom. All models feature color-matched
frame, rigid fork and top clamp, frame inserts, and a headlight bucket
with custom graphics. A Harley-Davidson Smart Security System with
Smart Siren, an indoor storage cover with CVO logo, and unique
Harley-Davidson CVO key in a presentation box are also included.
