On the edge
I'm on the edge of buying a 2011 Street Glide CVO or a 103 Street Glide. I was told that a 103 will be faster than a 110 but I'm sure either one will be fast enough for me. The CVO price is a lot more than the 103 but I wouldn't have to put extra money into making it what I want. I'm leaning toward the CVO.

By all means, buy the CVO if you like the paint. The 110 is a much better motor than the 103. And, the CVO comes with so much more. Well worth the $s. I love my '10 SESG.
No disrespect to this forum, but you may want to check out cvoharley.com which has a SESG specific forum full of good info.

I have had both, 2010 Ultra limited 103, and now have a 2011 CVO Road Glide. The power difference is night and day, much more gitty-up in the 110. To really take advantage of the 110 you must remove the cat and get a free breathing exhaust with some type of tuner. I have a VH Pro Pipe with a Fuel-Moto PCV with their map runs great with NO heat issues.

Buy the CVO...by the time you add all the extras to a regular SG you will right up there in CVO price. At least with the CVO you will get some of that money back on re-sale, whereas the SG will just be a dressed up SG and you can forget about getting the money for those extras back on trade or resale. Better Audio, lowers, Hydraulic clutch, etc.....all not cheap to add.

If you can afford it buy the CVO. You will try to make the stock bike look like a CVO and spend more money and never reach the goal.

I took a 103 Streetglide for a ride the other day and I didn't like it. The bike felt very top heavy to me. The salesman that I was with told me the CVO would be even more top heavy so I,m going to pass on this one. The 103 motor was very hot too. It was 65* out and was burning the hell out of my leg.
He has the softail CVO and asked if I wanted to try it. Well, hell yea. It felt like my Heritage but with the added power of the 110 was great. But it's still a softail. I want to get a touring frame. The 110 was alot cooler running than the 103.
I'm going to try a Road Glide a see how that feels. I road a older one and was comfortable. If that one doesn't feel good, I'll wait to see what Harley does for 2012.
