Default 2009 CVO Softail Springer
I just found out this bike even existed Saturday when my GF's neighbor was out washing and polishing his that he just bought to replace his Night Train that got totaled in an accident. I fell in instant love with this bike. I now want one. Does anyone have any experience with these late model springers as to ride quality versus the hydro front end?

You can't beat a springer front end.....

I prefer it all day compared to a hydro front.

I've ridden both. For me the Springer is the best.

You haven't ridden until you've ridden a springer. I love mine and I'll never go back!

the only people I have ever heard talk any sh*t about a Springer are dudes who've never rode one...ask any of the guys on the forum who have one - all happy. I say get one.
