Love the color.. probably the only color I like this year on the CVO's .. but with out the extended bags I'd be out.. extended bags are a must have if I'm buying a CVO
The quality of this Video is at Pro level: in particular the use of Light. Congrats. By the way: I bought this bike. When I saw live this Blue Steel color associated with that scorched chrome I understood it was something unique and stunning and I pulled the trigger. One last comment: extended saddlebags are starting to be old style. I prefer this shorter model not just from a design perspective but for a practical reason as well: I can use a 2 into 1 exhaust system without having a "hole" under the left saddlebag or needing to add a dummy muffler.
I have a 2020 cvo, mine has stage two Rockford Fosgate sound. I like my heated grips. They work good for the days you only won’t light gloves or if you’re not wearing gloves and it gets cooler than you expected. I would like to see how hand guards feel but I’m not sure I like the way they look
I bet they are saving the big engine upgrades for the 120th anniversary next year. They would have left in the 117 this year to save costs.. plus as we know parts are hard to get now days. So I 100% agree with their decision to leave the 117 in for this year.. Hopefully the 2023 models will have lots of new colors and a bigger engine.
Thanks for making this video and explaining what makes this year's CVOs different. And haha at your peacock. Hands down, this is my fave CVO of '22. That charred chrome is gorgeous, as is the Blue Steel. One thing I don't understand is why H-D only puts rear crash protection on the Road King Standard and the Limited models. You'd think they'd do it across the Touring range, and especially on the CVOs. Question: at highway speeds, do you have a preference between Road Glide and Street Glide fairings? Thanks, Chad - well done!
In my opinion the bag guards take away from the look. I don’t have a preference when it comes to highway speeds but I think the road glide handles better when hitting winding roads.
@@thehdguy378 I agree with you on the looks...just thinking from a protection standpoint since the paint is so friggin gorgeous. Thanks for your reply, as well as your thoughts on the RG v. SG fairings...guess I just need to test-ride the two.
Such a sick bike. Thinking about trading in this year but I’m so torn on which bike to get. I have a deposit down on a low rider st… but the st baggers or even a cvo look so appealing. Really not sure what direction I should go… money aside, which one would you choose?
If money were no object I’d choose a CVO. I’m kind of flashy but I can’t afford a CVO. It has all of the performance I need and honestly if I have the budget for a CVO I could spend $10-$12k tricking out an old Dyna and also have my performance ride. Not many people want to push a $30k motorcycle (ST model) to its limits.
@@thehdguy378 2 sets of pipes later on my 21 special I chose pipes I could see. Got slip ons , couldn’t see em. Then I got VH fat radius slash cuts 2 into 2. Oh ha. Love my bike.
I’m not certain that you’re correct or incorrect. But I do know that if you lean to the left it illuminates the left side of the road. The direction you’re leaning. Pretty sure it also lights up the left side of the headlight.
@@thehdguy378 You are correct Chad? This person, respectfully, is thinking of “counter steering”. Lean sensing specific lighting illuminates the path you are traveling.
🛑🛑 From a CVO Owner from up North that has Heated Grips…”your on Crack” if you think Hand Guards are Better than Heat Grips. 😂💯 I’ve ridden in some of the coldest mornings with No Gloves, with my Grips on 3.5 and could barely tell it was Cold Out. If you want Comfort, invest in Heated Grips and a Heated Seat. This combination will extent your riding season, and overall comfort for you and your passenger. 🤷♂️💯
Heated seats also do nothing compared to a good set of riding pants and thermals. Just like heated grips, you’re warming your hands from inside out. The threat to your hands staying toasty comes from the front (on the outside). Preventing cold air from even getting to your hands will always reign supreme. Now, if you’ve got the stock bars on your street glide CVO then you’ll be fine. Your hands are still comfortably behind the fairing. Once you add bars to the equation heated grips just aren’t enough. If you’re from up north you don’t actually ride in cold weather. You’re too afraid of salt corroding your bike. Something tells me you’ve never ridden with hand guards! Or anything other than a Harley 😒
@@thehdguy378 I have an CVO Ultra with Apes, Heated Grips, and Heated Seat. The bike has a Stage 4 Motor Kit in it, as well as a Rockford Fosgate Stage 4 Kit. Yes…when the Stones and Rocks come out; my bike is in the garage. Your assumption of me and the bike that I own are way off base. I think you sell bikes, but don’t actually ride bikes 🤷♂️.
Buy yourself a street glide special upgrade your radio and speakers put Kahuna floorboards and hadgrips then stage 2 kit and slipons and it will be pretty close to a Cvo and save yourself about $10,000 your basically paying that much more for the paint job and a little bigger motor .?? Not worth the Cvo price
@@thehdguy378 If I would be HD, I would offer my bikes - without extra costs - in a variety of options. They do so in e.g. offering chrome and black trim. So why not let the customer decide if he wants stretched bags or not on the bike he orders? I mean it’s the same production run, I guess, it can’t bother HD if they put this or that kind of bags on a bagger - all the mounting etc. is the same and they produce all kind of bags anyway. One can customize nearly any car in this modular way. So why not a bike for 30.000+ Euros? That doesn’t fit the time!
The bike is a 10 out of 10 until you get to the shortened bags. Wtf HD !?!? We’re they trying to show off the chromed pipes ? Why !? 99% of purchasers will take the factory pipes off because the suck !!! It ruins the bike for me. Stopped me from purchasing jt
Gorgeous bike that's it. Gold wing DCT is the pennacle of luxury. No walking forward/reverse, no gear driven primary, no electric windshield, no self adjusting hydraulic lifters, no led lights all around. Handle bar mounted fairings are scary on a windy highway. $10,000 more that a Gold Wing DCT tour with trunk, ridiculous.
Totally different machine. I owned 3 Goldwing's and reliability is second to none as is the boredom. If you want a big scooter that shifts itself and sounds like a sewing machine, that's for you. You can't beat the look, feel and sound of a HD, plus the customization is limitless.
@@larrypontelandolfo9304 I agree the looks and sound of a Harley is very intoxicating. My Goldwing doesn't sound like a sewing machine. My 2012 Victory Cross country did until I put Vance and Hines pipes on it, and sounds like a Harley, it's V-twin. It's because of the very dependable gear driven primary opposed to Harley's chain, which will destoy the enginge if it's not serviced early.The drone of the upgraded pipes on the highway gets on my nerves, I can't hear the radio. You need to ride the 2022 DCT and understand and maybe you'll some day own a Harley and DCT Gold wing, best of both worlds. Yes my Vic has pimped me like all bikes for over $30,000. Diamond cut fins, Custom seat, 23' wheel, stage 1,2,3 etc. and the GW will gap it by many bikes. GW will gap your Harley no matter what you do and DEPENDABLE. There are problems with the Milwaukee 8, (oil leak into cylinders) which was copied from my Victory. 4 vales per cylinder. Yes at age 57 it's time to enjoy a automatic CADILLAC.Be safe bro
@@busterbrown1686 Well sir, we are all entitled to our opinions and likes and dislikes. Ride what makes you happy, Enjoy your Automatic... At age 75 with 60 years of riding motorcycles, I still enjoy shifting and riding my Harley Davidson CVO's... Enjoy my friend and be safe....
Imagine spending 50k plus on a CVO, then harley uses your custom CVO color on almost every bike in their lineup a few years down the road. In the future I'll stay away from the solid one color CVO's.
Love the color.. probably the only color I like this year on the CVO's .. but with out the extended bags I'd be out.. extended bags are a must have if I'm buying a CVO
I agree 100%. Put extended bags on them all!
I said the same thing. Makes no sense 🤷🏻♂️
Did you research why they put short bags on? Its for the racing scene, Like the ST models. The green one orange ones have the extended bags.
Man your production quality and B roll is impressive! 👌
Thank you! It’s something I strive for. Definitely a long way to go.

I wouldn’t doubt it. I’m excited to see what they do in 2023. Anniversary years usually come with something cool.
It’s a beautiful bike but it is reverting back to the standard streetglide with the short saddle bags and the absence of the lowers with speakers.
The bags don’t bother me, the lowers with speakers do. The stereo on the 2018 and 2019 CVO’s were amazing!
I have a 2012 CVO Street Glide. I’ll keep mine over that one.
To each their own! You have a great bike!

Great Video that bike does look sweet....
It’s EPIC! Thanks for the feedback.
Heated grips are by far the best mod you can do for comfort..
I respectfully disagree.

CVO
just bought street glide st black 2022 sic bike
👍👍👍

HD wanted to show off that finish on the exhaust. thats why i see the standard bags only. thing looks amazing!
This is actually a good point. Thanks for commenting.

Wher"s the stretched bags ?
CVO can I put the stretch BAG ? Tkhs
If you pay to have them custom painted and are comfortable with the possibility of it not matching 100%, then yes.
I bought one!
Enjoy the season!
me too !!!
Scorched Chrome !
Same shit
Very nice 👌 👍
Why does everyone say it backwards. If you lean left it lights up right. If you lean right it lights up left.

No chin spoiler either? That’s not cool makes it look incomplete if you ask me
The fairing turns with the bars so the chin spoiler would be difficult to do on the street glide.
