Thought long and hard about it. But I cannot justify the price over a regular HD.
Yes it is all done up soup to nuts (kinda figured "something" was going on with all of the new black bits on the HD site) but then there is the engine. Sure a factory 110" is nice but the heads need to be massaged + the pistons + other fiddly bits...then the insurance come into play.
So, at the end of the day, ol' Looney decided that he might as well fix up his '08. TOss in a 107" (or whatever is my choice) + a real custom paint job (or skip the paint to avoid standing out) will be a lot less than my anticipated $20k difference between a regular SG and CVO SG. Plus, this leaves me extra moolah for my Mrs' Iron.
But, if I had no bike and wanted one, I would definitely consider the CVO SG.
Want one, want one, want one, no!
Heard great things about the 103's. Not so much about the 110's. Let's see, stock plus 103 plus bling = ~ $26k. SESG would be... A LOT! I like plan A.
