CVO bike are beautiful machines but in my book they just arent worth the money. Only way I would deal is trade my bikes and they GIVE me 8k to boot. But thats just not gonna happen. I would stay away from that deal and work to making the SG you have into a CVO clone.I would love to have my EG and a bar hopping bike.

hold onto what you got.... To me the CVOs are all about LUST and Infatuation... sure the first time i saw pics of the 2011 CVO SG i said "holy crap!".... but i actually rode one this past weekend (the HD Demo fleet was in town at my local dealer) and i gotta tell ya i don't think the bike is worth the additional $13,000 ($20,000 canadian) over my stock 2010 SG.
If you are anything like 99.9% of the rest of us on the forum you have spent some time and money tweaking your bikes into being the way you want them... and i'm sure there is nothing "wrong" with them...so keep them.
From a straight money point of view, WHY would you wanna give ALL of that tax money to your government.. Thtas roughly $5,000 for nothing!
Maybe take a little of that $8,000 you were gonna drop and "freshen up" your bikes.... a new set of wheels could change the way you look at your ride and get you excitied about it again... thats what i did with my truck after 3 years and believe me.. it was much cheaper then dropping $50,000 on a new one...
Then take the rest of that $8,000 and take a nice tour on your SG... experieinces are priceless

HD CVO 110" alleged Defective ?
Harley Davidson - Screamin' Eagle
Engine Defect Investigation
http://www.lieffcabraser.com/defects/sc ... GgodXiwrZg
The national consumer law firm of Lieff Cabraser Heimann & Bernstein, LLP, is currently investigating consumer complaints regarding Harley-Davidson Screamin' Eagle motorcycle engines. Screamin' Eagle motorcycles are a line of high-end Harley-Davidson bikes, which typically cost upwards of $30,000.
Description of the Alleged Defect in H-D Screamin' Eagles
The current investigation concerns an alleged defect referred to as the CVO, Screamin' Eagle or 110" defect (CVO 110 cubic inch engine). Consumers have experienced problems with their Screamin' Eagle bikes that include:
oil leaks at rear cylinder (most of the oil leaks seem to appear by the first 5,000 miles)
rear cylinder head gasket failure
burning oil
engine stalls, and
overheating engines.
Screamin' Eagle Model Years Under Investigation
This alleged defect appears to affect at least 2007 and 2008 Screamin' Eagle models, but may affect earlier models as well. The new 2009 model appears to have an improved design.
The affected models include:
2007 - FLHRSE3 Screamin' Eagle Road King
2007 - FLHTCUSE2 Screamin' Eagle Ultra Classic Electra Glide
2007 - FXDSE Screamin' Eagle Dyna
2007 - FXSTSSE Screamin' Eagle Softail Spring
2008 - FLHRSE4 Screamin' Eagle Road Glide
2008 - FLHTCUSE3 Screamin' Eagle Ultra Classic Electra Glide
2008 - FXDSE2 Screamin' Eagle Dyna
2008 - FXSTSSE2 Screamin' Eagle Softail Spring
Harley-Davidson Screamin' Eagle Recall Letter
On August 13, 2008, Harley-Davidson sent a recall letter to owners of 2007 & 2008 Screamin' Eagle motorcycle owners. The recall, referred to as Product Program 0906, promises to "upgrade" the top end gaskets, center crankcase bolt, and the Automatic Compressor Release of certain 2007 and 2008 models built before May 14, 2008. However, based upon the alleged CVO defect, the solution the company is providing is inadequate to solve the inherent problem with the affected models of the Screamin' Eagles.
