Just took delivery of a 23 CVO Roadglide. The Factory tiny windshield is not going to make it. Has anyone else changed there’s yet? There is a 10” and 12” available. Would like to know of anyone else has changed the windshield yet and what did you go with?
Can’t help you with the screen but congrats on the new bike! I think you are the 1st to post about buying the 2023 cvo rg on this forum. Post some pics and riding impressions after you get a few miles on her.
Take a look at Madstad. This what HD was trying to accomplish when they installed the vent. They are adjustable so you can change their height when ever you want . I normally look over it in good weather, but I raise it in the rain so I can look though it an be more protected.
My initial report. This pic is with the stock windshield. I purchased a 10inch from Daytona Harley Davidson. I also purchased a sissy bar and backrest to tide my wife over till the king color matched tour pack arrives in a few weeks.
I have been riding it very gingerly. I am only allowed to go to 3000 RPM till 50 miles and then 3500 RPM till 500 miles. It's has a ton of torque and the power delivery is very linear. The engine never seems to lug and I find myself late to down shift. It seems to have more torque than the 131 that was on my RoadKing.
The new suspension is really really good, Its the first touring frame Harley that I will not be changing the shocks on. The handling is light and quick on its feet. If you're used to the weight of a Harley touring bike this one feels nimble.
I love the new display and infotainment. My eyes can read the huge font. The system is intuitive and easy to use. You can overlay weather radar over the GPS map. A garage door opener is standard.
The Seat sucks and an unexpected surprise The seat feels like plywood but has good ergos. The bars are taller than they used to be, and are comfortable. I assumed since the only things that haven't changed were the rear fender and the frame that 2009 and up seats would fit. They do not. The tang that comes off the tank is 1/4 inch wider than the openings in all of the seats that I have. I was able to modify the opening on the front of my Heated and cooled hammock seat. Unfortunatly the seat puts a ton of pressure on the side covers and sits on the dash in a way that makes me think it will damage the paint. the HD website says the Sundowner fits it but it does not. I either need to put some 3M protective film on the panels that are affected by the seat or wait for someone to make a new seat for it. It is the best Harley I have ever had and I have had several.
More pics to follow and I will keep updating as I make changes.
Good info, thanks! In another year or so, there will be more options from Harley for OEM accessories. In the meantime, you are a new platform pioneer, lol!

Hi Zebrex, I also have the same bike, and I don't like the windshield either. Harley has come out with a new 5 inch black windshield that curves up around the top. Have you seen it? I called and talked to Klock Werks and they said that they were still waiting on a bike to develop a windshield on...
Wind Vest should have something out in 3 to 4 weeks it's in R&D right now... Klockwerks i am waiting on an email they also have it in R&D.....but yes the stock windshield when i hit over 70 it kicks my visor down.....
they have a bike now..... i called them also.... i said hey i would run one for ya. but they said they already had a bike they were testing on.
Bastards. ha ha ha ha
