Big time let down by HD !!!!
Things I like
- 110 motor (goes without saying)
- Painted frame and paint work (especially the white and blue one) but its lacking
something.See below
The not so good
- Wheels, plain and simple they SUCK (would have been better off just using the chrome
profile laced wheels
- Bags suck (should have went hard bags).I understand you would have some exhaust
fitment issues. But its a 30,000 softail figure it out HD.
- Lack of chrome fender trims,Deluxe symbol and no tombstone taillight.( To me these all
add class and heritage to the Deluxe)
- Paintwork doesn't look finished because of above reason. Would look much better with the
chrome trims IMO.
- Last thoughts. Price seems very high for what you get. I am not sure why anyone would
buy this over the CVO Road King which is cheaper. Would have really liked to see some
nice wheels. But like I said the profile laced would have been a better option. Devils
advocate maybe it looks better in person.

Here is a stripped down version that looks a little better but it is blurry too, lol. But this side is hiding those funky wheels. I just think they blew it on those wheels for this bike and should have went with a 21 inch wheel. I don't know... I am trying hard to think it's ok, but I am having a hard time coming to the conclusion that it is cool bike. Just about every stock deluxe that puts on minimal mods looks great. This bike has a bunch of stuff on it and it just looks ok I guess. It's just not put together and really doesn't look classy like a Deluxe usually does. On this color I do like the brown leather on the bike and the bags with that brown leather is ok... but that's about it.

Worst CVO in a loooong time.
HD not only missed the mark on this one, they're not even on the darn paper.
Deluxes are simple and elegant. They keep a bit of nostalgia going too.
The FLSTNSE is ugly as sin, the paint is gaudy, and there is just a hodge-podge of crap thrown at that bike. Let's not forget that all the nostalgia is gone too.
Sorry HD, but you can't throw WWW's on a bike and call it classy.

paint schemes are way to busy and vomit inducing
the wheels are ****, they are straight out of the 1980's, they look like chrome wagon wheels
as for the comments, should've gone with a 21 up front, keep dreaming, the SG just got a 19 from the factory so that would have been as big as it gets, and probably would have looked great
