Default CVO Road King compression

I was looking at the specs on the CVO Road Kings and noticed some differances

http://www.harley-davidson.com/en_US...ng.html#!specs

Does anyone know why the CVO Road King has 9.15:1 compression
And the CVO 110th Road King has 9.2:1 compression.
Whats the differance is one better than the other.

I also noticed the CVO Road King shows a 19" front wheel and 18" rear
CVO 110th shows a 17" front and 16 rear.
Do you think these are typos?

Wheel sizes are probably correct and I would imagine the compression ratios are the same. 9.15 was probably rounded up to 9.2.

Stock tires on the CVO Road King are:
Front: 130/60B19 19"
Rear: 180/55B18 18"

Stock Tires on the 110 Anniversary Edition CVO Road King are:
Front: 130/80B17 17"
Rear: 180/65B16 16"

There is a ground clearance difference where the 110 Aniversary Edition sits 0.2" lower (5.1" v 4.9"). This is due to the tire height differences between to 2 bikes. The 130/80 series and 180/65 series tires have taller sidewalls. Put the bikes side by side and you'll see a lot more tire showing on the 110 Anniversary edition.
