it needs the CVO bars, that straight piece of pipe they gave it is horrible looking
compared with the CVO bars it looks like crap, other than that, I am not seeing anything that changes my opinion of it from the very begining, it's beautimus

Proud to be in the minority on this one.
I am one of the few who doesn't like this bike.... and until now I haven't seen a softail that I didn't like! Though it may not be obvious from looking at my X-Bones, I DO like a contrast black/chrome scheme, but I think this was executed poorly. Chrome exhaust headers into black muffler heat shields covering chrome mufflers? Black handle bar with chrome risers and triple trees? Black front turn signals and chrome rear signals/running/brake lights? There seems to be no rhyme or reason to it. It screams "schizophrenia" to me. And don't these 103" Twinkies run hot enough without returning the oil to the bottom of the bag? I won't be rushing to trade in either of my bikes for this one. 
But that's what makes this hobby great. If we all had the same tastes, we'd all have the same bikes with the same accessories and the same paint, and who would want that?
Sometimes I think I was the only one who was sorry to see the Rocker go.... And yes, I know the Rocker returned the oil the same way, that was the only thing I didn't like about that bike. That, and the ribbed oil bag.
I guess it cuts both ways... one man's trash is everyone else's treasure, and everyone else's trash is one man's treasure!
Here's wishing you all another happy and safe year of riding, whatever the scoot!
