I am happy with my '13. I love the radio and when I bought this one I was actually in love with the '13 CVO Roadglide. I love the RG, don't get me wrong, but when I assessed what most of my riding is (commuting in town for work, occasional day trip to G'ville or Orlando (both about an hour drive each way) the King was a better match. If it didn't have audio, I'd have gone with the RG. Everyone will have their favorite bike (hopefully the one they own or one they can afford to get) and not everyone will like my '13. But since I am the one who rides it, who gives a chit...

I never liked the sound system idea on the '13 SERK. If I want music I will ride my RGU. If I want lowers I will ride my RGU.

Each to his own I guess...

14 CVO Road King is the pick of the litter IMHO. I love the orange and black one. I really dig the blacked out motor treatment too. It has a modern and aggressive look. Makes me want to strip down my Streetglide and trade.

about 500.00 and about 1.5 hrs. did not have to remove the engine guard like on the older controls although I did. Way more comfortable. only removed the foot boards and kickstand mount although did have to reinstall the kickstand mount

Recently picked up a 14 CVO RK, now its my 1st touring style bike I have always been on softtails. I like it a few things I want to change but that's normal. compared to a deluxe it rides like a caddy.

Love the orange color. It is not a choice on HD site, is it custom done by this dealer only?

The orange/black is one of the color choices for the 14 CVO Road King. It was on the website...

Wow that site is terrible. It looks red on my monitor and didn't look at the text color. Wow is that more impressive in person than on their web site.

Just put down my deposit on a tribal orange one yesterday. It should be here around the 15th. I'll be glad to be back on a CVO!
