I was made to promise that there will be no major mods done to this bike for 2 years. It already has the custom paint and chrome wheels so I will be good for this winter


All I can say is "YAAA"

PS.... Does anyone know if the CVO has an HID headlamp? It looks like it when it is off, but when it's on it doesn't look like an HID??/

A guy I know had an 06 CVO Ultra and it came standard with the dual bulb set-up. Not the HID. He has an 09 now but I haven't had a chance to look at it yet. I'm pretty sure it is the same dual bulb halogen set-up though.
