I bought a 2013 CVO Roadglide not really knowing what to expect. I am very satisfied with the bike. It fits me well because I am a big guy, 6'-3" and 275. I have not done much to the bike yet. Still just getting used to it and trying to decide what mods if any I want. The biggest thing I have done is I added a D&D fatcat with ghost pipe and powervision tuner. The bike runs fantastic IMHO. I really like the pipe, it runs out good and the sound is music to my ears. This is not my first CVO bike nor my first experience with a tuner. The headlights in this thing are the greatest lights I have ever experienced. They light up the world, I can finally see at night. Have had many Harleys over the years and I think this one is the best so far. If you are a big guy and are considering a new bike, I would suggest you take one of these for a test ride.
Ok guys-n-gals, I can beat a dead horse over and over. I have been out riding the new scoot this evening, just can't get enough. I have been riding motorcycles since I was 16, I am now 55. (you do the math) Most of them have been Harleys. This may very well be the best one yet. I am friggin' In love with the thing. I bought a brand new Ultra classic in 2009 and I hated the damn thing. Put 4000 miles on it and couldn't wait to get rid of it. I had never ridden a roadglide before I bought this one. I was hoping I wasn't making another mistake, and I didn't. It is an awesome scooter IMHO. The D&D fatcat is the best sounding pipe I have ever heard. The powervision tuner just brings it all together. Just wanted to tell the world about this bike...My story, The end!
Glad you are enjoying it. I got #641 earlier this year and like you, best bike I've ever been on. In regards to mods, added the pipes and a download along with highway pegs and a new shield. To be honest, not itching to do much else. What a great ride. Only complaint is the hidden antenna gives me terrible reception. Will make a change there at some point.

Thanks for the comment...I have made other mods too. The pipes and tuner are the ones that really add to the enjoyment of the bike. There are a few things that could be improved on but they are not keeping me fron enjoying the bike. I don't plan on making a lot of mods either. Actually, I could have just rode it like it was, making a few mods because that is what we do...Personalizing our bikes to our own liking. Thanks again and ride safe...The Beamer!
