CVO Wheels
Question for you CVO owners. The newer ones come with a 19/18 wheel setup, while the Special comes with a 19/16 setup. Is the CVO lowered in the rear with the 18" wheel? Asking because I found a set of CVO wheels I'm interested in getting for my '16 RG Special, and I'm curious if I will need to lower it afterwards.
Thanks in advance.

The 16" tire has a larger sidewall than the 18", thus having approx the same diameter. So no it does not require lowering the rear of the bike afterwards
What size is being run now?
180/65 R-16
What size would you like to run?
180/55 R-18

I put a set of chrome Agitators in 19/18 sizes (same as CVO) with the CVO tire sizes on my 2014 SGS. The bike didn't need to be lowered. To my surprise this wheel package actually improved the ride for some reason as well.

I did the same on my 2014 SGS but with the Aggressor wheels and feel the same. Mine handles better also. And it was good before.
