I really like my 07 CVO Springer. Made a few changes, spring seat, windshield for cold rides. Nice thing is I got it with 3463 miles on it last year.

I was wondering what had happened to the Breakout! I didn't know you'd finished it. Looks killer!

I can tell you this, springers went from 10-12K two years ago to today's 5-7k sell.
Should you run across a garage queen for today's asking price, grab it.
I'll buy them all up, garage queen for 5-7K, no brainer to me. Til my moneys run out...lulz

I'm a fan and love my springer. I haven't seen a CVO springer I didn't like. BTW Bottom rocker isn't hard to tune.

I had looked for about two years for a Springer... I wanted an FXSTS.... Unfortunately, people were awful proud of their Springers.... too proud..

Finally in 8/2017 I found a 2001, with a carb, that had only 9.8K miles, was all OEM except fo the seat... for $7,100..

I love this bike... of course, it didn't stay OEM for long, but I love that I have all the parts...
