Yeah, been looking at the wish book and it seems that the CVO is coming with the non-HID set-up. Oh well, something to add to it later I guess.....in 2 years

I was just about to do the EXACT same CVO trade. The color combination is to die for! We have this exact CVO bike on our showroom floor so I have to look at it everyday.

I'll have a lot of "Honey Do's" to make up some ground before I try to ask for new stuff. 1 thing in my favor, I got this bike early on in the year. Maybe by November she will have forgotten about the bike???

Oh yeah, one other side note;
Shocks from the 2007 models will work on the new 2009 frame! I was so happy to be able to swap my Penske's over to this new bike!

Good catch Spike. I just went on Progressives site and looked the the shock part numbers and damned if they aren't the same from 2008-2009. Good for you because you have some money tied up in those Penske shocks.
