First CVO Advice Needed
I'm not new to Harleys, but new to CVO's, found a really sharp 2010 CVO Streetglide with 23k miles in my price range, Anything to be leary of or to check other than the usual used bike stuff? The same shop also has a 2013 Anniversary edition Electraglide Ultra with around 17k miles also in really nice condition for about the same money. Trying to decide if I should go with the CVO and add a tour pack (to make the mrs happy) or go with the Ultra...The Ultra is basically stock other than V&H slip-ons...CVO already has mods I would do anyway, ape hangers, full Rinehart True Duals, audio upgrades...Thoughts? Especially from those who have had the same CVO.
I'm sold on the CVO's looks, just dont want to regret not getting the newer Ultra. Riding is not tons of long trips, but a lot of day trips, occasional overnight trips etc.

they are basically the same bike, the SG CVO should have a bit more power (and problems), better sound system, and some extra bling.
i don't like the tour pack, so in your shoes i would go for the SG.
On the other hand, I do have the exact same other bike (2013 FLHTK, just not the brown anniversary but a yellow one) and it is a very decent bike. I ride mine 'streetglide style' tough

You can always add the tour pack later if you wanted. The CVO should have some stuff for touring that the regular Ultra won't. A bit more power, headed seat, heated grips. The "extras" is what sold me on getting the bike I have instead of a regular Utlra. I honestly can't see not having the extra space the tour pack gives you. I can fit 2 full face helmets in there. The Ultra will have the lowers which will help with long distance and wind/weather. Something to think about anyway. You could always go with an engine upgrade and add the heated stuff later to the regular Ultra.

no problems with this 103 (it's stage 2) except for an annoying oil leak on the front which I can't find the source ... current suspect is the oil cooler fitting on the base of the filter. or the pressure sender itself.
the engine pulls very decently, i think very close to my other bike, a stage 1 117" (street glide).
as for the tourpack... yes it is very handy but I don't like how the bike handles with it installed... might put it back at some point but not now
