Thats incorrect. My 19 CVO RG came with heated grips. My 23 CVO RG has heated grips, so does the 24.
That's weird because my 2019 CVO RG FLTRXSE did not come with heated grips.
As far as the RG CVO ST goes I am afraid to go the the dealer as I would have a hard time leaving without buying one.
I had a 2019 CVO RG and SG, both came with heated grips.
I agree, not wanting to visit any HD shops right now. I dont need a new bike, but dang I want the Raven Metallic ST!
I've been on the same forums as Dave for a lot of years. If he and the the Motor Company are not in alignment, I would start by giving Dave the benefit of the doubt. I've seen HD print a lot more erroneous info than he has over the years...
Thanks. Owners manual is wrong.

Yep, first press is high, 3 heat strips light, press twice only 2 heat strips are lit, press three times 1 heat strip is lit. 4th press turns it off.
Just brought home a Raven Metallic CVO ST. Absolutely love the bike... absolutely hate the forged carbon fiber fender and accents... oh well. The display is a technological wonder... the engine control module? An absolute nightmare ( crank, no start issue ). The new CVO ST is very voltage sensitive. It has to live on a battery tender. If it cranks and doesn't start??? Harley suggests waiting a few minutes and trying again. I guess that beats taking a sledge hammer to the $52,000 brick. That's right... $42,999 msrp, but nearly $52,000 out the door for a bike that may or may not start. Money well spent.
Harley issued a service bulletin on February 6th ( M1632 ) which includes instructions to flash the ECU again. That was already done prior to me picking up the bike and I still experienced a "crank, no start" issue. The bike sat at the dealership for the past 6 days while the service techs crawled over the bike, scratched their heads and then told me if it ever happened again to record it with my phone. You gotta love modern technology.
So I brought the bike home a second time and rode it around this afternoon. I must admit, it's a total blast... if it starts. And to the post saying that he was old... I just turned 65 a couple of months ago... go buy the bike and enjoy your few remaining days on this planet.
Congratulations on the new CVO ST. Beautiful bike with the right balance of design detail and performance/all business look and features. I am not even a Road Glide fan but really love what they have done with this bike.
