HARLEY-DAVIDSON CVO CREATES FOUR EXCITING MODELS
 

Harley-Davidson Custom Vehicle Operations™ (CVO™) have created four extraordinary motorcycle models for 2010, each an uninhibited expression of motorcycle performance and style. Now in its 11th year, the mission of the CVO programme is to design and build limited-production, factorycustom motorcycles for customers who appreciate brilliant chrome, exquisite paint, thundering power and the exclusivity of owning and riding a very special motorcycle.

Harley-Davidson offers two all-new CVO™ models for 2010.

  • 2010 CVO™ Softail™ Convertible: Designed to be a "two-in-one" touringand- cruising motorcycle, the CVO Softail Convertible motorcycle features new compact fairing, leather saddlebags, a passenger pillion, and an upright with backrest that are each quickly detachable. A new full-coverage rear fender, a digital speedometer with analogue tachometer and Stinger™ chrome aluminium wheels all debut on the CVO Softail Convertible.

Each 2010 CVO™ model is powered by the fuel-injected Screamin' Eagle® Twin Cam 110™ V-Twin engine, the largest-displacement engine produced by Harley- Davidson, rated at up to 156Nm of torque. This engine is only available from the factory in CVO models.

CVO™ Softail® Convertible

The 2010 Harley-Davidson CVO Softail Convertible motorcycle has a split personality. With its compact fairing and smoked windshield providing protection from the elements, and leather-covered saddlebags to hold gear, the CVO Softail Convertible is a refined touring machine ready for a weekend get-away with a passenger comfortably supported by the wide pillion and padded backrest. But because each of these components can be quickly detached, the CVO Softail Convertible can be stripped down to reveal an alter ego. In just minutes, it's an aggressive solo-seat custom cruiser with bold paint, gleaming chrome, smooth lines and a massive engine, ready to prowl the streets in style.

Designed to be a "two-in-one" motorcycle, the CVO Softail Convertible can be configured for all-day touring, two-up cruising or solo riding by simply adding or detaching key components, each of which can be easily removed or installed without tools.

Based on the Harley-Davidson® Softail® platform, the CVO™ Softail® Convertible features a rear-suspension design that mimics the clean lines of a vintage hardtail frame, but offers the comfort of modern suspension that is hidden under the chassis. A fuel-injected Screamin' Eagle® Twin Cam 110B™ V-Twin engine provides the CVO Softail Convertible with extraordinary power and thrilling performance.

CVO™ Street Glide®

The 2010 CVO™ Street Glide® motorcycle is a tuned-up, tricked-out version of the popular Harley-Davidson bagger. Powered by the Screamin' Eagle® Twin Cam 110™ engine, the CVO Street Glide packs serious power from the largestdisplacement V-Twin engine offered by Harley-Davidson. But this potent touring bike is also loaded with the sparkling chrome, electrifying paint and fresh custom-styling ideas that have defined the CVO programme for more than a decade.

The CVO Street Glide presents a low-and-lean profile behind a fork-mounted "batwing" fairing with a smoke low profile wind deflector and solo headlamp, a clean front fender, and hard extended saddlebags with colour-matched latches. The CVO Street Glide is built on the innovative Touring chassis introduced by Harley-Davidson in 2009, based on a single-spar, rigid backbone frame and a stout swingarm developed to withstand the demands of long-haul touring riders and today's more-powerful engines.

Key CVO™ Street Glide® Features

  • New extended saddlebags wrap around the mufflers and hug the ground. The full-depth design of these one-piece, injection-moulded bags offers increased capacity. Locking latches are colour-matched.

  • New black 18-inch front and rear "Agitator" wheels are a seven-spoke design with contrast-chrome highlights. New seven-spoke floating front brake rotors match the "Agitator" wheel.
  • New hydraulic rear shocks with adjustable preload have 40mm pistons and 14mm rods, with optimised rebound and damping delivering outstanding response on a range of road surfaces. Suspension pre-load can be adjusted by hand to accommodate rider, passenger and luggage weight. The pre-load adjustment knob is located behind the left saddlebag.
