Okay so I own a 2015 Road King. Vivid black, 103, cruise control, and Boom audio added on, in fantastic shape. Here is a pic of it.
I was at my local dealer and they have a 2016 CVO Road Glide. Bike is about the same mileage as mine (3k difference), has the 110 engine and all the bells and whistles.
Here is a link to the CVO. https://www.beachhousehd.com/Motorcycles-Harley-Davidson-CVO-Road-Glide-Ultra-2016-Shallotte-NC-a9d647ce-a407-46cb-920a-aab9015fbb82
My dealer is offering me $11,500 for my bike as trade in. (It's paid for)
Now almost all of my riding is 2 up with my wife except when I ride to work, and we average a couple hundred miles a day on weekends (weather permitting).
We are also planning on taking some trips next season.

What is the goal? The RK does just fine on long trips. If comfort is an issue, a new seat might fix that. You want more storage perhaps? A detachable tour pak will do that.
Not trying to shy you away from anything. Just offering a perspective. It might be one of those, 'the grass is always greener' things.

Thanks for the input. There really is no goal, it was just an absolutely beautiful machine with all the bells and whistles. One big point though was the extra room for my wife compared to the Road King. It was a noticable difference that she commented on. We are going to go take it for a test ride tomorrow. I've never ridden a Road Glide and I may hate it!
That's a $16,500 upgrade for a bigger engine, fairing and tour pack. Unless that Road Glide cures your wife's bed time head aches that won't be worth it for me.
A good buddy just dumped his very pampered and in beautiful shape and low miles 15 CVO Road Glide for 18K. Okay, so the bike is officially 5 years old but cost just shy of 40K new. Buying a bike like that makes no sense to me. I like too much making a bike my own and will pay a lot less overall to do so minus the painted frame.

Caution, the 110’s have weak flywheels. Mine scissored just short of 50,000 miles. Twinky to mine at the local dealer in for a motor at 30,000 miles, lady ridden. I just want you to be aware.

...... you won't.
... be careful on that test ride if the wife is riding w/ya.
.. the RG has differently shaped bars than your King & will handle differently
...... if you're planning on longer trips, you'll appreciate all the stuff they build into the cvo
.... i know I do
Looks looks like about 17,000 out of your pocket. For less than half that you could turn your RK into a hell of a bike,customized to your specs,not HD’s. That’s what I did and am still doing.

CVO RG or RK? Just want some opinions.
