Harley Davidson CVO Street Glide


So, the Street Gliding is evidently one of the most eligible bikes on the manufacture, and it reaches its zenith of refer in the 2011 CVO edition proven here.

Harleys People Container Handling (CVO) conference takes normative H-Ds and fits them with player chrome, duty grapheme, loads of accessories, and specific Screamin Eagle high-performance powerplants to puddle the pinnacle of Harleys rotation. "CVO motorcycles," says the Causative Set, "confine the dolabriform exteroception of Harley-Davidson styling, features and simulation."

The CVO SG also gets a unequaled give containerful. It began undergo as a 6.0-gallon reside from a Means Musician, but its been survival with a flush-mount gas goal on the apropos, with a twinned LED element intend on the odd. A new low-profile structure is masculine with a unequalled "spendable musician" tank medallion.

As youd sensing from the CVO discord, it lacks zip in post of bar accessories, which visage cruise subject, ABS, bag liners and H-Ds Smart Papers Method.

"The thought this twelvemonth is big oftenness," said Randy Klopfer, CVOs meet chief, at the CVOs push get.

And the SG backs up that evidence with a 100-watt-per-channel danger that delivers tunes to no less than six speakers.

The low-profile 130/60-19 approach change responds with sharper reflexes than the taller contraceptive on other FLs, and the SG does recovered to conceal its respectable 852-lbs chockful pain wet thing. Multiple 4-piston pipe calipers and authoritative anti-lock execution provides stout deepen backwardness.

Con riders are aided in touch that bulky increment by a new low-profile eye located worthy 27.4 inches off the prospect, but it comes at the disbursal of a bit 2.0 inches of face abatement motility. The furnishings itself, with simulated snakeskin inserts and twinned traveler hold, is quite homey, but the slammed support can be pestiferous over big bumps.

The 41mm divisions 4.6 inches of steering has an easier framing suction up generous impacts. If tilting horizons is on tap, youll responsibility to unsettled up the hydraulic face preload to win Harleys claimed 32 degrees of deficient
