I've had my 2017 cvo limited for 2 years and here is my experience with the bike for those considering a new bike.
1. Ride and Performance:
I've ridden this bike 2 up all over the rockies, the smokies and run it at 80-85 mph for interstate runs up to 12 hours non-stop except for gas. Averaged 38-40 mph most of the time, runs the pants off my past cvo's and the bike handles better in stock configuration than any previous harley I've owned. My bile is 100% stock except for Rinehart 4.5 Motopros. I just did the 15k service and everything was as it should be. Still on the original tires and will replace both at 17-18k miles.
2. Comfort and Sound:
The stock seat and handlebars work fine for me at 6'2" and havent changed any of the stock stuff there. The audio was not great, so I had the speakers and amps ripped out and a high quality audio setup put in and now it sounds great.
3. Finish and paint:
The paint job is exceptional like most harley cvo's and has stood up well to the elements. The tank emblems got loose and were replaced under warranty, no big deal, no other issues.
i have 22500 on my 2017 cvo limited . i did not change out the stereo i am satisfied so far . couple trips from Midwest to San Diego bike works ride nice .
I have 18,600 on my 2017 Ultra Limited. I had the Xmsn to primary transfer start at about 4,000 miles. Mine wasn't as bad as others and would stop when it got below add mark. So far about 5,000 miles with 3 piece CVO pushrod and no transfer. Other than that best Harley I have owned.
The stock seat and handlebars work fine for me at 6'2" and havent changed any of the stock stuff there.
Same here on the stock seat and bars for my 18 RGU. This is maybe the third of over 50 bikes I've owned lifetime that I was happy with the stock seat. Recently, I noticed a small 2mm x 4mm opening in the seat cover on the right side, where my leg slides when I mount the bike. At first, I figured it was my fault, and now time to get a Corbin or maybe a Harley Hammock. But after thinking about it, I decided I like this stock seat and don't want to spend money on another seat I may not like as much. So I took the bike over to the dealer shop, Temecula HD, and let the service writer look at it, on the small chance that HD would warranty the thing. And they did! A few days later, and I got a brand new seat, thanks HD.

Good deal! I have had a couple of Corbin's on various brands of bikes, not a fan. They tend to be hard, heavy and over priced. So many better options out there if you are not happy with your stocker!
My 2017 Road King Special has been a great bike. No issues to date. have done 1 986 mile trip to get home, all interstate, 75-80 all day and never missed a beat or used any oil. No transfers, but I don't rev the **** out of mine either, just don't need to. Since I put the 468 cam and Bassani pipes, it is so sweet now! I did change the bars as the 9 inch mini apes that came on it weren't quite comfy as I like and I did get a solo saddle for around town and a Mustang Touring Seat for the long trips.
