I pay more for a CVO but get a return on the added goodies I didn't get when I bought a standard model. Just my two cents....
The more you pay, the more you lose when you sell it - period. CVO or not.

This is the silliest waste of a thread I've ever seen on this forum.

These two CVO's to me are not really custom bikes, they are special detailed bikes with a limited number made of these bikes. I bought them both and did upgrades just like any other bike. I just like the little extra details they put into these CVO models.

The thing to do is buy late model cvos letting the guy who doesn't care about money blow it and you don't suffer the massive depreciation. You can then in theory spend some money to tweak it to your liking.

Go to the M8 section and read about which synthetic or dino oil to run is the best? And see if your statement still stands.

They are factory customs period. Even Big Dog, Bourget and others were simply factory customs. Even full on hand built customs use aftermarket parts.

No one pours molten metal into a bucket of sand to make all the parts for a bike anywhere on this earth. Or mines iron ore and processes it into tubing.

So take you mindless concerns over what is custom and shove it.
