2009 H-DCVO Dyna
Limited to 2,450 units, U.S. MSRP $25,999After its debut in the OE lineup last year, the Dyna Fat Bob was tapped to stop into the CVO Dept. for a slew of new paint, chrome, and P&A. The first thing you notice about the CVO Dyna are the paint schemes, which are a mix between matte and gloss finishes, but even more noticeable is the leopard-print-like treatment added to the gas tank and fenders. In the chrome category the bike received front axle covers, wheel spacers, headlight mount, tank emblems, shock stud covers, and clutch and brake line clamps. With the beefed-up motor package, lowered chrome front forks, and retuned rear shocks, this bike really tears into the street, and with its chunky 130mm front and 180mm rear tires, this thing is ready to mow over anything in its path.
 One component that was swiped...  One component that was swiped from the Rocker parts bin and incorporated into the CVO Springer bin is the ribbed-style horseshoe oil tank. The chromed cast aluminum oil tank isn't the only component to feature the bling factor; the swingarm was also dipped, along with a set of new 18-inch Road Winder wheels. |  The new, wider, and louvered...  The new, wider, and louvered rear fender has a subtle upswept tip-a noticeable change from the more pronounced duckbill look of the traditional rear fender. The rear suspension has been retuned to give the bike a smoother ride, and the seat is quite exotic with contrast embroidered stitching and real buffalo inserts. Over the tank the bike features a full-length ribbed chrome console. Hopefully we'll get our hands on one or a couple of these CVO models for full in-depth road tests in the near future. | |
2009 H-DCVO Softail Springer
Limited to 2,500 units, U.S. MSRP $26,999Once again, Harley has decided to give the CVO treatment to a Softail Springer. The biggest change, however, for this year's Springer is the addition of a meaty 240mm rear tire and new rear fender with louvered accents. The wider rear wheel/tire combination is definitely a departure from the 200mm found on last year's model, which we were completely happy with. The new Springer rides nicely and has decent handling, but our initial response was we preferred the look and feel of the 200. With this 240mm rear, H-D is on the tail end of a hot trend from several years ago.
 |  The standout feature for the...  The standout feature for the CVO Fat Bob is the new Fang cast wheels. The wheels are a combination of black powdercoated centers with mirror chrome rims. The "Fang" name comes from the chrome bolt-in inserts, which look like fangs attacking the wheels. |  Other unique components on...  Other unique components on this model are the chrome blunt-cut mufflers, one-piece chrome riser with hidden wiring, two-piece chrome and color-matched console, and Alcantara and smooth leather seat with recessed chrome medallion. |
