- This is my 700 mile review on my 2022 CVO Road Glide. I've had the pleasure to write this bike 700 miles so far I'm very pleased with the bike have done minor upgrades. Some of the upgrades a backrest highway pegs any taller windshield. Shout out to Scottsdale Harley Davison and to my sales person Paul who has been an amazing sales rep for the brand of Harley Davidson. The bike handles very well looks awesome and has tons of horsepower and torque.
Congrats
I know I love my blue steel CVO road glide. Bought mine within 4 hours of its arrival. I did the same klock werks and added air ride to mine. She’s got 1300 miles already.
They’re beautiful bikes, plan to take mine all the way up the coast PHC Highway 1 in a few weeks
I just came across your channel and subscribed. I'm very happy to support a fellow moto content creator. The Blue Steele color is a very cool color. I've seen the same bike at my local dealer and it is 🔥. Beautiful bike. Congrats. Ride safe 👊👍🇺🇸
Thank you for the subscription, yes the color is beautiful
I bought one myself even though I have an '08 such a beautiful bike. Only have 250 miles and getting my upgrades right now: Cam, pipes, Legend suspension front and rear (harley's are junk no sense it waiting), I got the luggage rack and passenger backrest. I have a Russell Day Long seat on it with driver backrest and heat. (not as sleek as the stock but I ride long distances a lot so comfort is what I'm after. Have the ceramic coating put on it as well. Love the bike.
Thank you I agree comfort is very important mostly we’re going to take all these long rides on these beautiful machines. Thank you for the comment always appreciated.
Best of Luck with it Nico! It is a Beautiful Bike! Nice Review!
Thank you
I installed 14" apes on my Road glide, man the difference was amazing. My bike feels so much better. Also the worst thing about my bike is the suspension. No matter how I adjust it , it still hits hard . Other than that I'm good for awhile. The 103 vtwin has plenty of power. I be the 117 is much nicer . Great bike bro.
Thank yo for the advise I will look into those bars, thanks for watching
I have one also, the suspension really sucks and a disaster... shame on you, Harley. And the clutch with a cable, come on guys, wher're in 2023 !!!
@@marcdebaets9966 They went to hydraulic clutch in like 2014.... Hardly anyone liked them back to cable... I prefer cable as well.
Thanks for doing this review! I was a bit on the fence about whether to buy or not but I just put the deposit down today on the exact same bike as you. Your review was helpful in my decision.
Glad you enjoyed the review it really is a great bike, im really enjoying it. It’s going to be great when you get your bike im excited for you.
You'd be better off getting an Indian Pursuit: save money, more performance.
Thanks mate! Thoroughly enjoyed your passion and insight. You've convinced me to put one in the shed! Greeting from Australia you Champion. :)
Thank you, you’ll enjoy it can’t wait to see it
That’s the new brakingsystem
I believe it is the new braking system
Inspirational homie after doing ten years in the big house it’s good seeing chicanos shining
Thank you got do my part to help and show we could have nice things in life.
thx for the video & informative comments! congrats & happy trails ;-)
Thank you
i been thinking about road glide CVO since 2019 wen it came with mako shark color .. but unfortunately only 3 CVO came to my country and all been sold .. so i waited for the right color and finally this color blue steal is worth getting and i hope in next few month i put my hand on one ... anyway am really happy for u m8 and congratz for the right bike and the right color .. drive safe and enjoy ur ride
Thank you , its. A beautiful color once I saw it I knew that’s the bike for me. Can wait to here more when you get the bike.
I like the stretched bags better but other than that it’s a beautiful bike !
Yeah it’s kind of odd that this color combination did not come with the stretch bags. I did see the new green with a black Flames that actually did come with stretch bags.
Love the bike! Congratulations on your new ride!
Thank you
Congrats on the new Bike looks Great.
Thank you
We have the same bike! But me and my fiancé customized the bike a bit ! Louder exhaust pipes and mean handle bars and back rest. Recently changed the rims too !
Wow you will have to share photos love to see the mods you have done to it. Looking for ideas.
Sweet back bro, grab that 131, & you'll feel A WHOLE NEW WORLD. STAY SAFE. That black chrome is beautiful bro.
I been looking at 131 , thank you for watching
@@NicoRides I have the 2019 RGS WICKED DENIM RED, it was as you know the 114 , I had it upgraded to stage 2, then eventually I was able to get the 131 stage 4 kit and a few more upgrades, but when I first cranked it up I felt the power, then I got on the main drag & I was overly impressed & satisfied to say the least. The only thing you'll have to make sure, is that you get the high performance clutch springs as well, I'm presently still awaiting the arrival of mine, because the stock clutch springs are just not gonna last long term.
@@lavery0365 , thank you for the guidance when I get ready to build my 131 I’ll definitely remember this added upgrade.
Nice bike. I love my 20 cvo RG . Worth every penny. I changed my pipes, bars and added the klockworks wind screen. But left the rest stock. Great bike
Thank you, find it do the same thing just do a few changes but leave the rest of it stock.
I got the 21 road glide cvo bronze armor, I just passed 10,300 miles today. Absolutely the best decision I’ve made when it comes to choices. I’ve done a few more upgrades such as legend shocks all around upgrades headlight 14 inch la chopper meat hooks. Trust me it won’t be long before u swap that whole exhaust.. unless you’re really into that quiet sound
Did the bike ride way better when you did the front? I have the Arc’s on the rear of my 2021 RG.
Thanks for watching and thank you for the advice on the parts you have put to upgrade your road glide. I’m already thinking about swapping out the exhaust I just need a company that will match the scorch chrome look.
@@ocalcetas1 yes it did, At first I thought it was way worse.. then I realized I got so used to it riding shitty. Huge difference. I did the back at first also for about a week then added the front, how are the arcs? Im suprised u didn’t go all around arcs and just the back, how’s it feel ?
@@NicoRides that would be klock werks! But you have a heat shield correct ? So it doesn’t matter if u get chrome or black your shield will cover them. Just don’t go anything above 4.0 inch … the 4.5 may not fit in the heat shield
@@detroitbloodrunsinme8194 , thank you I will look into them, this is what I like about the HD Community all the advise and help that’s give them to one another thank you once again.
Hin Nico you r lucky 2 get a cvo these days concratulations👍
I have a 2019 cvo rad glide an it came with the same “front problem”
In Germany we like 2 go fast on the autobahn and @ 100-120 miles my front
End starts 2 shake but these bike r not build 2 go that fast i guesse😉
I start 2 higher my front wheel pressure and it helps a little
But any other than that its a great motorcycle you will have a lot of fun👍
My recommendation will be a 12 or 14” Monkey Bar its a big diffence 2 ride this
Bike believe me!
Greetings from Munich Germany🖖🏼🍺
Thank you for the advise i will adjust the tire pressure to see if it helps. Thank you for watching
I feel your pain about the suspension, that's why I trade my road glide after testing ride a Challenger, I tried to replace my road glide rear suspension with a legend suspension still not compatible with Challenger, Still loving the look of Road glide, Amazing Cvo enjoy!!
You know funny thing is my second option was the challenger but where I live I could not find one with the color I wanted and the options. I never got to test drive one but I hear great things about it straight out of the box performance comfort electronics.
Thanks the video. Love the bike. Enjoy!
Thank you
Next Tuesday I‘ll finally pick my brand new CVO Street Glide Blue Steel from my dealer in Frankfurt/Germany… How cool it would be to take a trip with you and your CVO Road Glide in California 😎😎😎 Have a nice weekend Bro!
Do you use the headset which was delivered with the bike? What’s your experience? I’d prefer the new Rockford Fosgate supported headset 50S, but they deliver only the „old“ 30S… 🙄
@@christianfinke5562 , I did not use the headset that came with the bike I tried to install it on my helmet twice and for some reason it does not go on very well. I have been recommended a few other headsets once I get one I’ll get it installed and I’ll make a video of it I haven’t really which brand I will go with. Congratulations on your bike they’re beautiful Motorcycles , maybe one day I could go to Germany and ride motorcycles over there with you
@@NicoRides Then we go to the Oktoberfest in Munich 🤩😂 But then driving‘s not a good idea… 🍻 As it seems I will be in LA oder Malibu in some weeks for business reasons, so there will be an opportunity to go for a ride together probably 😎✌️
@@NicoRides Which headset was recommended to you?
@@christianfinke5562 The one that was recommended is this one Sena (SMH5-UNIV) Bluetooth Headset
Hey Bud
Nice machine ! I have a 2020 streetglide and it corners as good as my 2006 BMW k1200s ! My first Harley and can't believe how it handles the tiwsties. Should handle that speed with no problem ! Again it's a looker.
Ride on !
Thank you they do handle amazing in the tiwsties for big heavy bikes. I just have a slight vibration I'm not used to.
Ciao Nico! Thanks for the new video. I'm waiting for my CVO blue steel (I hope for next. April). My last HD was a RoadKing Classic 103. So, You suggest to change suspension... For your opinion it will be sufficient to change only rear suspensions? What type of suspension you suggest? Ohlins? Thanks in advance ( sorry for my bad English):-)
Thank you for the comment. Right now I’m looking at a suspension Wilbers according to everybody who has installed a suspension it is self leveling on the rear. They say it is night and day. Going to put more miles on the bike and enjoy it before I do this upgrade.
i installed the ohlins hd 772 i was fine. The motorcycle drives very well
This CVO is a stunning looker... Its got a great stance and those spoked rims really set it off. Unfortunately, HD suspension is not up to par for high performance riding, the front and rear definitely need upgrading they are going to be ridden hard.
So true thank you for the advised being first time HD ridding
@@NicoRides I haven't ridden an HD in years either, but its known that the HD stock suspension is just barely adequate for the stock engine performance(as you found out). My street bike is a Victory XC with a stage 2 build. The Vic has an air adjustable rear shock and I increased the fork oil weight. This gives me some extra suspension capability but the engine can still push the bike to more than the suspension can handle. If I ever go for more power, I 100% have to upgrade the suspension with the engine...
@@NicoRides It's sad that you pay 40-50 G's for a sweet CVO (love the blue color and the dark chrome) and they don't come with the best suspension manufactured, which is my opinion Ohlins. I have a pumped up 05 Road Glide with a 120hp twin cam, paint, stereo, PM wheels-brakes, totally redone. My own version of my CVO. The best upgrade I made was the chucking the rear HD air shocks to Ohlins (p/n HD 772). I used to wobble in fast sweepers and now I can push it with much better confidence. I did the front forks with Ohlins springs and heavy Bel Ray fork oil. I wanted to blow $2500 on the Ohlins inverted forks but I was happy with the outcome of the upgraded stock forks. You have a sweet CVO ride, upgrade the rear shocks and you will love it even more. Ride safe brother!
Thank you for the advice on the suspension like I said I’m gonna ride it and enjoy it a little bit more and then I’ll sit down and make a choice what I go for.
I updated the suspension by putting the ohlins hd772, another bike
Fantastic bike 👍
Always safe rides and bring us more content in the future to let us now, how your journey goes on.
Thank you, new videos coming soon
Beautiful bike congratulations. New rear shocks are a great upgrade.
Thank you for watching .
Nice Bike. Everyone needs to treat themselves to their dream bike at least once.
thank you, so true it is a dream bike for me waiting may years to buy the right bike
Is that Backrest from Harley. I was told by my dealer the new CVO seat doesn’t allow for a riders backrest because the rear pillion overlaps the front seat?
Harley does not make one or at least that’s what I was told by to different dealers. The 3 dealer told me to go to badboyzcyclez.com/products/cvo-backrest that’s who sells them. The great thing they are in stock, fits perfect with a CVO stock seat.
I did enjoy your video it was straight and forward
Thank you I try to get straight to the point not talk a lot and I put a lot of music.
First of all thanks for the Video, my is coming this May so super excited to see it in person .... hopefully i wont be disappointed ... just one question would you be able to post the detail of the upgrade you have done? i.e. are they HD original parts or someone brand wold love to see them and will help me to decide on my upgrades
Thank you for the comment definitely there’s a video coming out with all the upgrades that I’ve done on the motorcycle so far and and where I bought them. I’m excited that you gotta buy coming up I don’t think you will be disappointed so far I’ve been very happy with it they’re very very nice bikes to ride in a class over their own.
just road my new 2022 cvo rgl home for portsmouth va to ohio 643.4 miles in the rain and beat the snow it ran great I love it hi tail yellow...one thing to take in consideration about harleys vs indian....its about 1800 dealers through out usa and about 180 indian dealers usa....so if your on the hi way and have a problem you most likely will find a dealer or shop to take care of you... BUT if it's a indian HUMMM don't know might have to be towed upto 200 miles to a dealer. Indian was bought by Polaris but if you go there they won't service your bike...the after market parts for harleys is so large and not for Indians check it out
This so true it’s better to ride a brand like HD who has a large network always ready to help out. Congratulations on your new bike
Great video. I have a 2021 CVO Road Glide in Black Hole with Graphics. I love this bike! Question: Did you have to change the seat to get the rider back rest docking station to accept a rider back rest? On my 2021, there is no slot to insert the rider back rest. How did yours fit?
Thank you BJ Benton, I have not changed the seat it’s original a 2 piece rider and passenger. Here is the link where I bought my back rest from. badboyzcyclez.com also know as CVO backrest. They are beautiful bikes really enjoying my CVO new videos coming up.
Absolutely beautiful bike man!! I am picking up a rg around July-August this year but it will not be the cvo unfortunately lol enjoy
Thank you, congratulations on your new upcoming bike. Your going to enjoy it so much and make so many memories.
Hey Nico, thanks for all the videos! I pick my steel blue RG tomorrow. Very excited to get it. Looking to change out windshield before I leave dealer they carry the klock werks as well. How is the 9" for deflecting the wind over? I'm pondering between the 12 or 9 in dark smoke 9 looks great, just looking to hear how it's working for you with all the riding you been doing. Eventually I think I will be going with the tab slip-ons from what I researched the heat shields will fit to keep that scorched Chrome look also you can change and put the stack end caps on these as well after Drilling a couple holes but anyway just wanted to find out what you thought about that 9 inch and how it's working out for you I know everybody's different again that is a very beautiful bike can't wait to get my hands on mine safe travels to you always can't wait to see it with your chopped Tour pack I had to go with the King Tour pack do the wife needs to think she has to bring the kitchen sink and the bathroom sink with her LOL enjoy brother keep the knees in the breeze!
Hey David congratulations on your new road glide you’re really gonna love it. I like the 9 inch windshield I do wear a full face helmet I do catch some wind off the top of my head I do happen to be 6ft 1 inch. If you plan to travel very far and put down a lot of miles on this motorcycle would probably go with a 12 inch mostly we are going to have a passenger. They do look cool with a small The smaller windshield but after you get passed the cool phase and you’re out in the road, I think you would appreciate a 12 inch windshield. I feel you brother I travel with my wife every once in a while and I never seem to have enough room ever lol. I have a new videos coming up just haven’t had time to edit them been working like crazy. Thank you for watching and once again congratulations on your new CVO road glide
@@NicoRides hey Nico thanks for the reply I will definitely check out the 12-in I understand what you're saying I appreciate your input always had a bat wing fairing this is my first Road Glide so I've been spoiled to the Batwing just curious what it was comparable but looking forward to seeing them videos till then keep the rubber side down ride safe brother
Hey beautiful bike. Just a thought (I too have the Road Glide) I’ve found that the front tire side edges have a Harley Shield pattern moulded/recessed in the tire on both sides all the way around. When leaning in corners these “Bar/Shield” recesses whirrr and vibrate up the suspension. Absolutely horrible thing to put in a tire design. Once the front tire got replaced with “non-Harley branded) problem solved 👍🏻
thank you for the good advise I'll look into that thanks for watching
Gorgeous bike. That color is killer.
Thank you
Everything you say is so good Congratulations Enjoy it Tkhs for sharing
Thank you
G’day Nico , which backrest bracket size do have - small , average or tall ? And how tall are you ? Lol
What an amazing motorcycle.
Thank you really enjoying this bike , thanks for watching
Nico, one more question for you. Can you recommend those riding boots visible in the video for warm / hit summer days in US?
Here is the link for the boots I was wearing www.harley-davidson.com/us/en/shop/Mens-Hagerman-Boots/p/98627-18VM
Nice choice,I like your mods and agree that’s all you need in my opinion. Its a shame the suspension sucks they all do out of the box.
Thank you, it’s in the works new suspension coming soon
Love that color
Thanks for your sharing the information
How would something like this be for a first timer? Bigger guy here so naturally I’m looking at bigger bikes.
It’s a great first time HD bike for me, I always here everyone at work tell me about the CVO. They all said you won’t regret it and they are right. I’m a big guy also and the bike feels right in size.
My 2021 RG is my first bike ever. It’s fine for a first timer. I love mine.
@@ocalcetas1 , I like the look of the RG 😎
@@ocalcetas1 , Everybody I work with who rides a Harley told me if you’re going to go out by the CVO just do it you won’t regret it and they were right.
@BourbonMan: You will love your RG! If I was younger maybe the Lowrider ST.
Great video, enjoy the ride!
Thank you
Great video! Really entertaining and well done! Bike is awesome! Question about rider backrest - you seem to have original seat, which rider backrest do you have and did you hbe to make any alterations to its fixing?
Thank you , the backrest came from this company here is the link to there webpage, badboyzcyclez.com/products/cvo-backrest. The backrest they sell does not require for you to modify the seat, you could use the same seat.
@@NicoRides Wanted to let you know that I ordered the same bike yesterday, should get it within two weeks. 😀
@@thomashietto5138 , wow that’s exciting congratulations you’re gonna enjoy this black a lot get ready for a lot of attention.
Awesome Bike...Ohlins or Legend Suspensions you will feel the difference.
Thank you for the great content. Blessings
Thank you I will look into the new suspensions, thanks for watching
Legends suspension
thank you
@@NicoRides I had the Legends on my last Road Glide and am having them installed as we speak on my new CVO RG. Really enhances the ride quality and especially the stability in corners. Remember that front suspension is for performance and rears are for comfort.
@@usmcshepherdE9 thank you great advise learning a lot about the Road Glide
That is a awesome looking bike buddy.
Thank you
Beautiful Ride 👍 Greetings from South Africa
Thank you
Beautiful bike have one as well same issue it’s the front end. I think the suspension is not that great looking into Ohlins and Wilburs
Thank you, I’ll for the information
Nico, guestion about the windshield: is it 9’ sport blacked out? Thomas
It happens to be the 9” Klock Werks smoked
@@NicoRides Thanks Nico, have you been satisfied with it a) protection b) visual ?
@@thomashietto5138 , yes it’s a good windshield and looks nice enjoy. Thank you for watching
Good review Awesome bike
Congratulations
Thank you
There is no excuse for a $40,000 motorcycle to shake at speed and make you feel like you need a better suspension. I would return it and demand my money back. If I'm spending 40G'S I want to be 100% pleased.
It is a lot of money for the bike. But the suspension definitely is an upgrade in the future planning on going with me a Wilbers suspension. Thank you for the comment
@@NicoRides It is the most fun I've had owning a H-D, but that doesn't mean they can do better than they are.
CVO bikes don’t need anything, there perfect👍
That they are beautiful bikes.
Beautiful bike Fam 🤙🏾🔥
Thank you
Bad ass machine brother....
Thanks Brother
Beautiful Bike!
Thank you for watching
Nice review!
Thank you
Where did you get the rider backrest? Aftermarket? Thanks
The back rest came from badboyzcyclez.com/products/cvo-backrest. Thank you for watching
What back rest is that. I have a steel blue CVO as well
I bought it at this place here’s the link badboyzcyclez.com/products/cvo-backrest. But I just found out Amazon also carries almost the same identical back rest for about a third of the price. They’re beautiful bikes congratulations thank you for watching.
Nice review.
Thank you
It's my dream bike.
They are beautiful
I love that color, but after what HD did to us gunship grey CVO owners I'll think twice about spending all that money on a solid color CVO. If it becomes very popular it'll be on half the bikes in the future
Thank you, yes I saw the gunship gray its a color on a lot of bikes now days. It’s hard to tell the CVO from a non CVO bike, being that’s its used all over now.
I came really close to getting this, but the exhaust was the deal breaker. With aftermarket exhaust, I don't think they can match the color of black chrome, and the black chrome is killer.
And it is for this reason why I have not upgraded my exhaust. What is out there? I do not like it does not match. The good thing is in about a week or two they’re going to announce the new CVO’s and they were supposed to be way better than the one I currently have. Long waited and much needed in order to stay up with a competition.
WILBERS-Suspension - Germany, available in your country, too
Thank you i will look into this brand once I’m ready to upgrade
ВОТ ЭТОТ РАЗВОД МАРКЕТОЛОГОВ - ЧЕРНЫЙ НА ЧЕРНОМ !!! КОНКРЕТНО УДЕШЕВЛЯЕТ ПРОИЗВОДСТВО!!! ХРОМ ЛУЧШЕ ВСЕГО И ДОРОЖЕ!!!))) С УВАЖЕНИЕМ ИЗ МОСКВЫ!!!
Thank you very true.
I came from bmw ×3 on my 2nd hd,
i prefer hd. It's funny i didn't think i would. You gotta own one 2 understand...
yes having legend axeo in front that's the solution.
Thank you That’s what I keep hearing legend is a very good suspension.
That rear tire is starting to flatten out.
I check the tire pressure before every ride, not sure if all HD has this but this new one has a TPMS built in that shows up on the dash showing TP.
Nice bike
Thank you
Pipes got to go! 😎
Yuuup it on the list to swap out soon.
If you want to keep the stock look check out Fullsac Performance cores. Had them on several rides and no complaints.
That bike almost had me trading in my 20 lol
They are beautiful bikes thank you for watching
U may want to consider put in S&S oil pump and cam plate and Lifter coughs.
Thank you for the great advise i will. Look into that. Is this something that I could get out the Harley Davidson store or I have to go to a specialty shop?
I have a klock werks on mine 2
the only thing I don't like is those spoke rims they got to go
The only thing about spoke wheels they’re very difficult to clean.
@@NicoRides facts.
Nothing like a vtwin
how much you pay for it?
45K out the door
It should be flawless
It’s not black chrome, it’s called scorched chrome
OK thank you when I bought it the sales person and the service tech kept calling it black chrome.
so today I was at a different Harley dealer and your 100% right its called Scorched chrome, thank you for letting me know.
Beautiful CVO! If You consider to upgrade the suspension, check out Million Dollar Bogans 131 build or my channel. I upgraded more than 10 RG CVOs during the last 12 months...
Thank you Stefan I will go over to both of those channels and see the videos. Thank you for watching.
I think cvos are worth it
50 grand you should not have one issue. You should not need any up grades to fix issues at 50 grand.
yeah 50k is a lot for a bike that still need upgrades. thank you for watching
Stock harley suspension is garbage even cvo models. They should roll them right from the showroom to the service department. That why I ride an Indian. 🤣
Talking to a service technician he was letting me know that most road glide and street glide models the suspension and frames are pretty standard across-the-board.
Harley Davidson suspension sucks ...get you some olins front and rear and you'll love it
Thank you for the advice going to look into it.
No way for 42k....
Yessir 45k With warrantees out the door
You paid $50,000 and now you feel you need to UPGRADE your suspension ??
Man … Harley takes you for ?
Stop drinking the cool-aid !! 🤣🤣
I N S A N I T Y
Oh yeah that’s so true HD pains of owning a CVO
@@NicoRides You got the money Hermano ? No problemo 👍❤️
shouldn't need to upgrade anything on a bike this expensive wtf hd
That’s what say
