Default CVO Fatbob

Went to the dealer to have a small warranty issue resolved. I milled around the showroom while they had the bike. I fell in love with the Blue and gray CVO Fatbob. Harley did a great job on this one and seeing it in person impressed me. Man if i could I would but I cant so I wont! Does anyone on the forum have one?

I don't care for the look of the fatbob, wish they would have stayed with this, not that it matters because I don't have an extra $25,000

http://i116.photobucket.com/albums/o...Picture068.jpg I don't care for them,I think CVO's are for people who don't know how to build their own bike. My friend has one and I just can't see where the extra money went.

I think a lot of the markup on CVO bikes comes from how they are made. From what I understand each one is essentially hand assembled by a team of 2 or 3 guys. CVO bikes are not produced on the same assembly line with the regular bikes. Also, the CVO paint is not done in-house. Harley has two outside sources that they subcontract the paint work to.

This is the color they had at the shop. As usual pictures do not do the bike justice. You have to walk around the bike to get the full affect.

It would be interesting to add up the cost of all the upgrades and see what the price came up to.

You would save money buy buying the CVO all the HP parts are not cheep or is the labor.Then all the crome, Wheels, seat , ect...with a full warrenty.
To some it just dosen't seem worth it "I can build it for cheaper" That maybe true but ya got a mutt bike the day ya gona sell it not a CVO....

Ride Long N Safe...
