If a TPMS is an important point for you there are several aftermarket companies that offer 1’s that work on a Harley. You can spend $200 for it or $20k more for the Harley version. Granted with the CVO you get a different paint job, 21” front wheel, bigger motor, and a bunch of accessories you can buy from the catalog yourself if you really wanted em. Not knocking the CVO but I personally like to pick and choose what brand/product I want.
Guys spend $50k on a CVO and do the same exact thing guys do with a $25k standard Glide........ Bar swap, exhaust, rims, seat, LED this, shiny that etc. etc.

Search Amazon to get an Idea. You can find them for as little as $250 unpainted on up. Some good some bad so do you homework. Lots of styles out there to choose from.

if you want a good way to research this, check out the Harley service information portal, https://serviceinfo.harley-davidson....user/loginForm you can register for free, and then sign in and check out the owner's manuals for whatever bike you want, and also the parts fiches.
if you look at a cvo and a 'regular' bike side by side, you'll see that there is very little that hasn't been touched on the cvo. different grips, pegs, peg mounts, gauges, stereos, wheels, paint, bags, exhaust, bars, etc.

no, you will not be able to add the abs later if you decide you want it.

I'm just a big guy that needs a touring frame bike, but don't really have a need for all the extra storage. Honestly, I'm hoping there's a CVO Road King coming down the pipe soonish.. at least in the next year or two. If I need the extra space, I can put on a quick release tour pack, but most of the time I don't need it, or the extra weight. I really don't need the stereo or infotainment system either, which is why I'm leaning more toward the Road King.
There's a demo day tomorrow, so I'll be taking both the Road Glide and Road King out for a spin.
