A buddy and I are both out of work right now for different reasons, so for the past few weeks we have been hitting dealers within 100 miles of home and last week we were at Zylstra's in Elk River,MN where they had both the CVO (Blue)and 110th anniversary (copper/Brown) Road Kings, and for 320 degrees of a full circle walk around they are both gorgeous machines. Neither of us cared for the full frontal view with the HUGE headlight, etc...
But we both come from the batwing bikes (he an 09 SG and I a 12 EGC) and are particular to these.
I must say if I hit the lottery I would have the Blue CVO setting in the garage.
Today we are off to Faribault HD and I will have my phone in case anything stands out as picture worthy.
