To CVO or not to CVO, that is the question

Go ahead and get a CVO of your choice.  Negotiate the best deal you can.  They always say.........."you can't have it both ways"...............(not at the same time).

I had an '09 CVO SE Ultra 110 with the "race kit" and T-Many cams, etc. etc.  Rode it to Sturgis in '09 and enjoyed it for about 5 years but was real tired of the excessive weight of that "pig".  (Normally,  I sell bikes/cars on my own,  and do not "trade"),  but I was at my local H.D. shop and really liked a new '14 Street Glide Special sitting on the floor with V&H pipes, Rinehart 4" mufflers, high flow air cleaner and "tuner" pkg.

It turned out another guy had bought that bike and had the dealer add those options and then he had to back out of the deal at that last minute due to a physical problem that would not allow him to ride.  I got the dealer to add a garage door transmitter to the SGS,  a different wind screen that I preferred and all the foot pegs and grips and highway pegs too to match and swap out the expensive LED headlite from my CVO to the new SGS.............Got  this new ride for my CVO and $2500 plus tax, tags. :soda:

I thought this was a fairly good deal.................they were really wanting to make another "kill" on my old CVO given what they listed it for on the floor............it sat there for many months,  not sure what they ever got for it.

Meantime,  I was into a 5 year newer bike and new 2 year warranty and was much happier with over a 150 less pounds to manage.  Much more manueverable than the SE ULTRA was.

I like the CVOs, not keen on the 110 though...
