I have to admit I'm going a bit nuts...CVO roadking or this one and dump some money in it. I figure probably a differance of 34,000 for a CVO verses 22,000 for this one. What does it take to get CVO power out of a 103 ?

Just go CVO straight. You will end up dumping $12K into the RK at some point and it still will never be a CVO RK. I've done both routes and I'm much happier I got CVO. Felt like I was spending so much money every week for another chrome piece. CVO IMO

Orange and brown? Really.

I guess I will have to see it in person.

But right now it sounds like a 1972 kitchen. I'll save my money for harvest gold and avacodo green two tone RK.

That color combo is awesome. Almost makes me wanna get one; if not for the TBW I would consider it.

34 grand for a BIKE?? You people need to see a shrink!

That orange must be a new "Sunglo" color. Mine is the ember red sunglo, and it is stunning under the sun!

Looks like a couple of Ultras in the background that are the same color.
