I got my fingers crossed for a black one with yellow pin stripes, an inverted cartridge fork, fully adjustable 13" shocks with old skool piggy back reservoirs, a Vibra-technics front engine mount, True Track stabilizer on the rear, raised white letter, grippy radial tires and one of them #1 primary covers for good measure.

2014 Low Rider
I didn't say that correctly. The mount is bolted to the transmission which is part of the engine not the frame. It still causes an increase in vibration though. It is not a crazy increase but I noticed it right away. Probably why the stock system is rubber mounted. I am guessing the solid mount changes the frequency of the engine's vibration or something.
When I put my short shots on, I noticed the shaking as well.

What would make a great CVO Low Rider:
110 motor with oil cooler
Better suspension (Progressive shocks and forks w/ 2 more inches front and rear)
Relocate the ignition
Accurate fuel gauge
Fix brake pedal
What we would likely get is a standard LR with fancy paint and lots of chrome.

Ikelove said "What would make a great CVO Low Rider:"
However:
110 motor with oil cooler - not a great power increase so not really a good idea.
Better suspension (Progressive shocks and forks w/ 2 more inches front and rear) - probably stop it being called a Low Rider if they did as likely increase in height
Relocate the ignition - to where? I actually like it and can't see a better place. Thoughts?
Accurate fuel gauge - its a Harley "feature". Yet to have one that's accurate
Fix brake pedal - bizarre, but since changing my boots to a Harley branded one the pedal is OK. However - Yes it needs addressing.
What we would likely get is a standard LR with fancy paint and lots of chrome. - Goes without saying.
Bottomline is to create our own CVO's, which if you think about it is what we all do anyway. The MoCo will make mega $$$ out of CVO versions as well as add-ons we all hanker after. As individuals we all create our own Custom Vehicle Option version and if like me we go a bit darker with the look before deciding on the final paint job.

I just ran a performance comparison of the 2015 to 2016 model to see what the gain was:
Performance Engine Torque 2014/15 model 98.8 ft-lb 2016 Model 102 ft-lb
$200 uplift but more power and only 1mpg increase on factory figure fuel consumption. However, my favourite since release is: New 2-into-1 exhaust with a deep rumble
Don't see a need to change my 2014
edit: Just noticed the High Output is not available on the UK model.
