I like the long rides and after 40+ years of the wind beating the S**T out of me, the WS is nice when riding 1500 miles in 3 days. When in town just bar hopping, then it is off.

Nice ride! My local dealer has an orange one. Be you tee ful! My bike is a forerunner to the convertible with removable pillion and sissybar. 2005 FLSTSC

With the quick detachable pad and sissy bar

Don't care for the windshield either and didn't take notice if it was a quick detachable. As someone else said maybe it would grow on you. Just doesn't look like it provides much wind protection. Don't care for the bags either.

Didn't look into it much but wondered if other HD accessories like a Tourpak or different style bags would go on it.

It is a beautiful bike as are all of the CVOs. Favorite colors so far are the blue/silver and red/silver. The orange is pretty loud for my taste.

I just think it converts your wallet from full to empty.

Nice looking ride, but too pricey for my taste.

Sweet ride! If I was going to spring for a new ride this may be the one.

Same here if I were shopping I would get one of them, In person they look better. Pricey, not really if you look and see how much we all spend on a less expensive to get to the same place, it's about the same, just not all at once. Nice ride, enjoy

I have much more money in my deluxe and it has the 96 and this has the 110 and have thousand less in the new CVO. I love to 200 wheels in the rear and 130 in the front with 18" rims. The only thing I see that I will add is the pipes, it has everything else. You can put the tour pack on it but with the bags and my travel bag, that will do fine.
