I just saw the Black Diamond/Crimson CVO SG in the dealership today...it's jaw-dropping! If I could afford it, I would be all over that, but I really love my Road Glide, so it'd have to be a second bike and who spends $36,500 (before TTL) on a "second bike"?
My vote, trade it in on the CVO SG so I can live vicariously through you! Good luck!

Hi Guys,
Lately I have been thinking of splashing the cash on a 2011 CVO and trading my 2010 SG but I was wondering if anyone who had done a 110 upgrade to the 96 motor might be good enough to share their own experience as this might be an economic option for me....
any thoughts appreciated?
Cheers fellas

Personally, the 2011 CVO SG and RG models are the first CVO's that seriously tempt me to bite the bullet and get one--I've seen a Rio Red CVO RG and the black/crimson CVO SG and those are extraordinarily good looking bikes IMO.
If you want an engine upgrade, plenty of outstanding 103/107 packages available.

It Cost about the same or just a little more to buy a complete SE 120ci engine cost around $4,500with with a 20% discount. Dealers say 20 Hours to install. The 110 conversion the cases have to be spilt and bored. Dealers want 20hrs for that caonversion. If you go the SE jims 120 you can keep the 96ci or sell it for $2,000-2,500 cost around the same. I bought the SE 113 kit for 2,160 with sales tax. Before the 120 SE jims engine was offered. Id go the 120 in a heart beat. over the 110 or 113. If you want a little more ***** out of the 96 you can go a 103 conversion you don't have to split the cases. But you proberly know that. Any one wana buy a 113 kit it's for sale.
I thought that the Jims engines were not street legal. What's the deal?

Someone on here will have the numbers, if you do a search you might find it. I thing the stock 110 is about 85hp at the rear wheel???
The stock 110 has to meet all the EPA rules, so the cams are conservative, i read somewhere that the 110 cams are the same as the 96, at least they were on the 2009s.
Also the moco wants you to spend up at the dealership so they have no motivation to make it go right out of the box anyhow.
To make a 2011 CVO 110 go right you will need at least cams, header pipes, mufflers, ac and SEPST / TTS. It still probably wouldnt stay with a well sorted aftermarket 106 or 107 with aftermarket heads but it would be respectable enough.

The 110's have the SE255 cams, totally different then the 96" cams.

Not many do the 96 to 110 change due to the case machining required (and the labor charges for a bottom end rebuild) for the 110 cylinders, and choose the 103/107 option instead. Also, the CVO 110 is not much of a performer as delivered from MOCO.
