Default 2016 Wide Glide CVO?

What is the general thoughts about the 2016 Wide Glide CVO? About 8,000 miles.

Known concerns with that model? What do you think is a fair price these days?

Sounds cool but it doesn't exist. Are you sure it's not a Road Glide or Street Glide?

ahh. That’s what the ad said. Maybe it’s just a non-CVO

Anyway, thoughts?

I'm a big Dyna Wide Glide fan. I had a 2010 and currently have a 2011. I think it's one of the best looking bikes HD made and the forward controls and seating position are very comfortable for me at 6'3.

Maybe the CVO stands for Compensator Very Obsolete.

Approach it from a 'straight up' perspective. 1st) confirm if the WideGlide model was offered as a CVO or not in 2016. I don't recall. 2nd) If no, just ask the guy "why do you think its a CVO model?" Depending on how he answers you will either A) discover you are dealing with a crook, or B) have significant leverage in negotiating a price.

A CVO Wide Glide was only produced in 2001 & 2002. There was a 2016 CVO Dyna Lowrider S though.

Thank you for all the responses.

I’ll definitely ask about the CVO designation.

Are there other concerns I should have about a 2016 Wide Gilde?

I'm not aware of any common problems. I think they were pretty much unchanged for 6 years or so. Basically just look at anything you would for any used bike such as tires and evidence of maintenance or lack thereof.
