All the quality. All the legacy of the Harley-Davidson name. Plus custom touches and performance that distinguish you from every other bike on the road. Sure there's a little vanity. Premium custom. Big, tricked-out wheels. The perfect storm of engineering and style you'll only find on a custom machine. And you'll spoil yourself with the accessories from comfort to electronics to chrome. But the real signature of a Harley-Davidson CVO Road Glide Custom Vehicle Operations motorcycle is the explosive power and sleek detailing of the huge Screamin' Eagle engine. It's custom-built, not just for anyone, but for true connoisseurs of the road.

Individually crafted and hand finished, high-impact paint and graphics come standard on all Harley-Davidson CVO Road Glide Custom Vehicle Operations motorcycles. The CVO Road Glide offers three, exclusive new color schemes for 2012, with bold Real Smoke graphics adorning the gas tank and plenty of matching paint on the fairing and upper fork covers, fenders, saddlebags, and more. Plus, the fuel tank and fairing sport brushed-nickel "skull" medallions. Skimping? The word's simply not in our vocabulary.

These injection-molded hard bags have room for 2.26 cu. ft. volume of long-haul luxuries and a perfect surface for showing off some premium paint. Even better, they open from the top, so your gear won't end up spilled all over the highway. They keep your fancy unmentionables dry, and the chrome latches won't corrode in bad weather. And when you're off the road, one common key starts the bike and opens your saddlebags. But all that usefulness doesn't come at the cost of style. In fact, it's the bags' stretched bottom design and contoured composite skirts that wrap over the exhaust that helps give your 2012 CVO Road Glide Custom its low, lean and mean road profile.

Can something menacing also be elegant? Here's the proof. The CVO Road Glide Custom's black powder-coated powertrain gleams with a gloss black engine and transmission covers. It's every element, from rocker box covers to crankcase, cylinders, and transmission side cover embody tuxedo-fine styling that's dripping with unmistakably raw attitude. The premium custom look goes the distance on the CVO Road Glide Custom model with the chrome dual exhaust. Featuring 4-inch touring mufflers, black billet muffler end caps with chrome spears and chrome touring shields. Relish the style, rumble and performance of these high-end pipes.

These long, full fenders do a lot more than keep the mud off your neck. With its front fender trimmed up and slammed to the tire, they give your CVO Road Glide Custom its long low lines and classic touring profile. It's a stylish nod to tradition that acknowledges the modern. These wheels are gorgeous in every way. Bold 19-inch front and 18-inch back wheels deliver a dramatic profile. Plus, you'll still get that custom Agitator style wheels with a seven spoke design, mirror chrome finish, and matching full-floating brake rotors with a chrome center hub.

The knowledge of what makes an engine truly move a rider runs deep at The Motor Company, and it was put to good use when we created the Screamin' Eagle Twin Cam 110 engine. We sweated bullets perfecting every cubic inch, pushing design and technology forward.
And we did it all without compromising one bit of Harley-Davidson CVO Road Glide Custom unique styling. Evolved, yet carrying on the legacy of the Flathead, Knucklehead, Panhead, Shovelhead, Evolution and Twin Cam 88 engines that came before. The performance and durability are a direct result of the untold miles logged on the V-Twin since 1909, and the proud heritage that comes from a century's worth of commitment to life on two wheels.
