2012 Harley-Davidson FLTRXSE CVO Road Glide Custom Review

A shark-nosed touring beast packed with premium tech, luxury, and plenty of street appeal. This is how you take the road with power and style

The CVO™ Road Glide® Custom offers an unmatched hot-rod touring experience. This chromed-out, shark-nosed beauty features the air-cooled, Twin Cam 110™ engine, an exclusive multi-color paint scheme, a new high-output sound system and a host of fresh custom components.

The CVO Road Glide Custom is built on the innovative Harley-Davidson Touring chassis, based on a single-spar, rigid backbone frame and swingarm developed to withstand the demands of long-haul touring riders.

Harley-Davidson is offering an all-new CVO model for 2012:

2012 CVO Road Glide Custom: This hot-rod bagger combines a distinctive shark-nose, frame-mounted fairing with a road-hugging, slammed profile for a look that's sure to turn heads. A high-output, amplified Harman/Kardon Advanced Audio radio features CD/AM/FM/WB and delivers 100 watts per channel to five-by-seven-inch fairing-mount speakers and two-inch dash-mount tweeters. An included 8GB Apple iPod nano connects via an interface and holder located in the right-side saddlebag. Exclusive custom features include a smoked Wind Splitter windshield; a two-piece custom seat with removable pillion and color-coordinated stitching and cover; and a color-matched, low-profile fuel tank console with illuminated CVO graphic insert. A 19-inch Contrast Chrome Agitator Custom front wheel leads this beauty down the road.

Harley-Davidson Custom Vehicle OperationsTM takes bagger swagger to a new level with the 2012 CVO Road Glide® Custom, a chrome-drenched, shark-nosed beauty that snarls with Screamin' Eagle authority. This limited-production motorcycle features the most-powerful V-Twin engine offered by Harley-Davidson, an exclusive multi-color paint scheme, a new high-output sound system and a host of fresh custom components. Bombing the boulevard or scorching the highway, the CVO Road Glide® Custom offers an unmatched hot-rod touring experience.

CVO motorcycles are customized using exclusive components and paint treatments combined with premium accessories from the Harley-Davidson Genuine Motor Accessories catalog. The CVO program is often used to introduce new custom components and techniques before they are offered as individual accessories. Harley-Davidson CVO motorcycles are backed by a two-year, unlimited mileage warranty.

The CVO Road Glide Custom features a distinctive, frame-mounted fairing that offers a lighter steering feel than a fork-mounted fairing, and incorporates dual headlamps and a cockpit-style instrument display. Its Harley-Davidson Touring chassis has a single-spar, rigid backbone frame and two-piece swingarm designed to deliver responsive maneuverability and long-haul durability. Chassis geometry and suspension are calibrated to deliver confident handling and comfort. Hand-adjustable hydraulic rear shocks accommodate variable passenger and luggage loads. An Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) and cruise control are standard equipment.

EXCLUSIVE CVO™ ENHANCEMENTS

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® 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.
HAND FINISHED FUEL TANK

Harley-Davidson® fuel tanks are finished by hand—that's what makes them stand out from the competition. Their seamless design and unmatched style are unique among all motorcycles on the road. The tanks are one of the first and last things people notice when they lay their eyes on a Harley-Davidson® motorcycle—so we make it worth their time. And a classically styled, bold six-gallon fuel tank doesn't just give you a bigger canvas for premium, custom paint; it holds six gallons of go so you can eat up a lot more road between pit stops.
HIGH-IMPACT STYLING

Individually crafted and hand finished, high-impact paint and graphics come standard on all Harley-Davidson® 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.
LOW-PROFILE GTX® SADDLEBAGS

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 CVO Road Glide Custom its low, lean and mean road profile.
CUSTOM REAR TAILLIGHT AND FASCIA

We keep the back end clean and no-nonsense with tri-line fender lights—a brilliant, unique taillight as the centerpiece—plus ground effects and a low mounted license plate with LED lighting for crisp visibility and style. This completes the powerful, one-of-a-kind look.
BLACKED-OUT POWERTRAIN

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.
CHROME DUAL EXHAUST

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.
CLASSIC FULL FENDERS

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.
CUSTOM AGITATOR WHEELS

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.
SCREAMIN' EAGLE® TWIN CAM 110™ ENGINE HERITAGE

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's 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.

SCREAMIN' EAGLE® TWIN CAM 110™ ENGINE INNOVATION

Fire up the Twin Cam 110™ engine and feel the low-end torque unleashed. The colossal 110 cubic inches provide seemingly endless torque with adrenaline-pumping pull through all six gears. Boasting the largest-displacement V-Twin engine by Harley-Davidson, the Twin Cam 110™ produces 122 ft. lbs. of torque at 3750 rpm. Six speeds. A strong driveline and strong internal parts. Low routine maintenance. And a low cruising rpm couldn't feel better.
PURE HARLEY-DAVIDSON STYLING

Feast your eyes on the Twin Cam 110™ engine and there's no mistaking its roots. This is authentic Harley-Davidson® style through and through with an attention to detail you won't find from any other motorcycle company. Granite heads and cylinders feature machined cooling fin tips and are highlighted by chrome rocker covers. Exclusive to Custom Vehicle Operations™, the granite powertrain and 110 badging are unapologetically distinguished. It's a jewel machined out of metal. Pure. Dripping with power.
From the classic edge of the cooling fins to the clean lines of cases and covers—the Twin Cam 110™ engine makes an ironclad statement to holding on to what's right and staying true to what satisfies the rider.
SIX-SPEED CRUISE DRIVE®

You want a ride that rumbles—not begs for mercy—when you lean on it a little. The Six-Speed Cruise Drive® transmission provides smooth, quiet shifting and reduces engine speed on the highway, so you get a better match between engine turnover and road speed. And the Isolated Drive System makes acceleration flow in a smooth, steady stream from your wrist right down to the pavement. It's a rare ride when a bike responds like this, and a low growl goes a long way when you're opening up the road ahead.
HYDRAULIC CLUTCH

Performance gets the custom treatment on Custom Vehicle Operations™ motorcycles. The addition of a high-performance clutch with hydraulic actuation helps make sure you're getting a smooth, confident feel with just the right amount of effort and a hands-off reliability that's only fitting. And you'll love the confidence and control it lends when harnessing those 110 cubic inches of Screamin' Eagle® power.
"HEAVY BREATHER" PERFORMANCE AIR CLEANER

Added for 2012, this high-flow, forward facing exposed air cleaner is sure to turn heads with its black anodized styling, as it boosts your Screamin' Eagle® Twin Cam 110™ engine's performance for even more power.
ACCESSORY CONNECTOR

Beyond the unique paint and graphics. Beyond the broad band of power. Beyond the cool custom features. You can enhance your Custom Vehicle Operations™ motorcycle even more by taking advantage of the exhaustive catalogue of Harley-Davidson add-ons and accessories. The connector sits discreetly under the rider seat to the left, making sure that whatever you envision for your bike is easily within your reach, and can be plugged in with ease.
ARTFULLY HIDDEN TECHNOLOGY

Harley-Davidson leverages the latest in technology without compromising style and function. That means we hide electronics. The whole wiring harness is skillfully routed behind the jewels of the bike—the tank, engine and all the other eye-popping features you want to see. It's just another way The Motor Company goes the extra mile to give its bikes that premium, top-of-the-line fit and finish.
INTUITIVE CONTROLS

Hand controls on a Harley-Davidson® motorcycle are incredibly intuitive. The turn signals are self-canceling and, based on the speed and angle of the motorcycle, they know how long to stay on. Engaging the controls quickly becomes second nature so you can focus less on turning off your signal and more on basking in the freedom of the ride.
ENHANCED HARMAN KARDON® AUDIO SYSTEM WITH IPOD®

Naturally, the king of the road gets some royal extras. New for 2012, we bumped up this Custom’s premium Harman Kardon® audio system with a high output 100W per channel amplifier and in-fairing two-way 5x7-inch speakers and tweeters, for even better booming down the boulevards. And to play your tunes, we’ll even throw in an exclusively-styled Harley-Davidson® 8GB iPod nano. The system’s integrated iPod interface charges it as it play, and lets you control it right from the hand controls.
ANTI-LOCK BRAKES

When it comes to the CVO Road Glide Custom model with ABS, 'stopping power' has a double meaning. The components of our ABS are tastefully hidden within the wheel hub, so you'll still turn heads with a clean, streamlined design. More importantly, though, you get certainty in the saddle knowing your bike's going to behave when you need it.
ELECTRONIC CRUISE CONTROL

If you're ready to take Touring to the next level, the cruise control feature will help you settle in for the long haul. Get the comfort of the cruise without the cables cluttering up your handlebar. Our electronic throttle control technology makes it possible to have the best of both worlds.
TOURING CHASSIS

A true Touring bike has to be tough enough to take on thousands of miles for years to come. Our Touring chassis is designed to do just that. Based on a single-spar, rigid backbone frame and swingarm, it easily handles the hum of that big Screamin' Eagle® engine, and it's built to last. Perfect for riders that always take the scenic route.
BREMBO® BRAKES

Confidence. Control. High-performance dual disc Brembo® brakes offer consistent stopping power. The 4-piston front and rear calipers with dual front rotor brake system is state of the art and top of the line. It's just another way The Motor Company puts a high level of detail into their bikes to give you peace of mind throughout your journey.
TUNED TO BE RIDDEN

Harley-Davidson® motorcycles are different than any other bike out on the road. There's a balance to them. The steering, the maneuverability—it's all in concert. And each Harley-Davidson® model is tuned differently to create a unique riding experience for each individual no matter which bike they swing their leg over. Let's face it, we didn't get to where we are by being like everyone else.
FRAME-MOUNTED FAIRING

The iconic frame-mounted Shark-Nose fairing always leads you in the direction of the open road. Its distinctive style and attitude make it an original in motorcycling history and a defining element of the legendary Harley-Davidson® Road Glide. But it also earns its way with performance: bolted to the motorcycle frame, it stays put and cuts down the wind to make your ride smooth and easygoing, while its integrated storage gives you a place to keep the valuables you need to access easily your journey.
FULL-LENGTH FOOTBOARDS

Your boots were made for riding, in any way you see fit. Our full-length rider footboards boast a tried and true design that's stood the test of time. Rubber vibration isolation offers a comfortable ride every time. And heel and toe shifting makes getting through the gears quick and easy. Plus, height adjustable passenger boards add another level of comfort for your riding partner.
2-1-2 EXHAUST

Welcome to the crossroads of pure Harley-Davidson style and smart engineering. The 2-1-2 exhaust helps direct heat away from the rider and passenger, while providing ample performance, and signature Harley-Davidson rumble, and big style.
ENGINE IDLE TEMPERATURE MANAGEMENT STRATEGY

Our motorcycles are built to be ridden. A lot. So that means that rider comfort is top of mind. Always. With the Engine Idle Temperature Management Strategy (EITMS) feature, the motorcycle automatically cuts fuel and fire from the rear cylinder when idling, which helps reduce engine heat felt by rider and passenger. Best part, you can easily turn this feature on or off yourself whenever the bike is stopped.
"WINDSPLITTER" SMOKED WINDSHIELD

For long two-lane or interstate hauls, comfort against the wind can dictate whether you make the next state or pull off at the next exit. Our improved "Windsplitter" windshield makes the CVO Road Glide Custom a wind-deflecting force to be reckoned with. Add to that some Road Glide wind deflectors and you've got a machine designed to make sure the only thing in your face is the sunset on the horizon.
TWO-PIECE SEAT (WITH SOLO OPTION)

The ultimate in custom touring style and comfort in either solo or two-up configuration. Whether you’d rather be a lone road ranger or roll with a passenger, this Ultra’s custom leather saddle goes the distance in luxury and looks. With its low profile and color-coordinated diamond pattern stitching (or cover, depending on the color combo you choose) it offers custom style all the way—while its deep bucket is trimmed in at the thighs and sculpted to hold you close to your ride and the road, so you can log the miles without getting weary.

2012 Harley-Davidson FLHXSE3 CVO Street Glide Review

A low, lean and aggressive look, Screamin' Eagle® power and dynamic high-output audio make this the definitive hot-rod bagger

2012 CVO Street Glide: A high-performance bagger with a fork-mounted bat-wing fairing, the CVO Street Glide has enhanced audio performance with a two-amp/eight-speaker system that includes speakers in the fairing, fairing lowers, and now also in the saddlebag lids. Also new is a low-profile solo touring seat with an embossed insert pattern, detachable passenger pillion and backrest pad, and Diamond Cut Charcoal engine cover inserts and instrument faces. Three new color combinations are available.

The popular Street Glide® model, tuned up, tricked out and packed full of serious power and radical style, gives you the 2012 CVO™ Street Glide®. Loaded with chrome, attitude, amenities, including a custom two-piece solo FL seat and detachable pillion and a dynamic audio system with an integrated iPod and eight custom speakers driven by an additional 400 watts of audio power, the CVO Street Glide boasts a low, lean profile, aggressive look and fresh, custom-styling ideas, making it a true hot-rod bagger.

The CVO Street Glide is built on the innovative Harley-Davidson Touring chassis, based on a single-spar, rigid backbone frame and swingarm developed to withstand the demands of long-haul touring riders.

EXCLUSIVE CVO™ ENHANCEMENTS

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 paint. 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 all the features—from comfort to electronics to chrome. But the real signature of a Harley-Davidson Custom Vehicle Operations™ motorcycle is the 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.
CUSTOM REAR END

Every aspect of the rear of the CVO™ Street Glide® model is designed and combined to form a unique whole. The full-depth saddlebags offer hauling capacity with a dramatic styling angle. Right under the saddlebags are the dual exhaust 4-inch Touring mufflers, billet end caps with contrast chrome and black accents and gleaming chrome exhaust shields. And shining from the seamless design are the striking LED combination stop-turn-taillight assemblies, with wires tastefully concealed. It all comes together to give you an integrated custom look, with the storage and extra convenience you'd expect from a top-of-the-line Touring machine.

Harley-Davidson® fuel tanks are finished by hand—that's what makes them stand out from the competition. Their seamless design and unmatched style are unique among all motorcycles on the road. The tanks are one of the first and last things people notice when they lay their eyes on a Harley-Davidson® motorcycle—so we make it worth their time. And a classically styled, bold six-gallon fuel tank doesn't just give you a bigger canvas for premium, custom paint; it holds six gallons of go so you can eat up a lot more road between pit stops.
SLAMMED & STREAMLINED TANK CONSOLE

The CVO Street Glide model tank console is slammed to sit low, with the fill cap and fuel gauge set flush to the tank to complement the overall streamlined design. But the feature that truly shines is the black console insert—complete with an LED back lit CVO™ logo—so there's no doubt that this bike rolls with unmistakable Custom Vehicle Operations™ style.
BIG CUSTOM WHEELS

The CVO Street Glide has the largest front wheel ever offered on a Harley-Davidson® Touring bike. The Agitator front wheel is a full, bold 19 inches (18 on the rear). But size isn't everything. 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 polished chrome center hub.
HIGH-IMPACT PAINT AND GRAPHICS

Individually crafted and hand finished, custom quality paint comes standard on all Harley-Davidson® Custom Vehicle Operations™ motorcycles. One-of-a-kind. Eye-catching. Jaw-dropping. And the CVO Street Glide's three exclusive, all-new for 2012 combos up the ante and stir envy even more, with their blazing Phantom Flame graphics.
COLOR-MATCHED COMPONENTS

The whole point of customizing is to let your bike show your true colors. That's why we make every inch count, with components that are color-matched or chromed-out. For 2012, the rear fascia panel, fender strut covers, saddlebag latches and back license plate light cover all coordinate in pure custom colors. While the slider covers, tank medallions and fairing skirts gleam in chrome. The sleek look of the new diamond-cut, charcoal gauges and inserts is just the icing on the cake.
SCREAMIN' EAGLE® TWIN CAM 110™ ENGINE HERITAGE

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's 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.
SIX-SPEED CRUISE DRIVE®

You want a ride that rumbles—not begs for mercy—when you lean on it a little. The Six-Speed Cruise Drive® transmission provides smooth, quiet shifting and reduces engine speed on the highway, so you get a better match between engine turnover and road speed. And the Isolated Drive System makes acceleration flow in a smooth, steady stream from your wrist right down to the pavement. It's a rare ride when a bike responds like this when you're opening up the road ahead.
HYDRAULIC CLUTCH

Performance gets the custom treatment on Custom Vehicle Operations™ motorcycles. The addition of a high-performance clutch with hydraulic actuation helps make sure you're getting a smooth, confident feel with just the right amount of effort and a hands-off reliability that's only fitting. And you'll love the confidence and control it lends when harnessing those 110 cubic inches of Screamin' Eagle® power.
SCREAMIN' EAGLE® TWIN CAM 110™ ENGINE INNOVATION

Fire up the Twin Cam 110™ engine and feel the low-end torque unleashed. The colossal 110 cubic inches provide seemingly endless torque with adrenaline-pumping pull through all six gears. Boasting the largest-displacement V-Twin engine by Harley-Davidson, the Twin Cam 110™ engine produces 118 ft. lbs. of torque at 3750 rpm. Six speeds. A strong driveline and strong internal parts. And a low cruising rpm that couldn't feel better.
PURE HARLEY-DAVIDSON STYLING

Feast your eyes on the Twin Cam 110™ engine and there's no mistaking its roots. This is authentic Harley-Davidson® style through and through with an attention to detail you won't find from any other motorcycle company. Exclusive to the Custom Vehicle Operations™ line, the granite colored powertrain with chrome covers and 110 badges is unapologetically distinguished. It's a jewel machined out of metal. Pure. Dripping with power. From the classic edge of the cooling fins to the clean lines of cases and covers—the Twin Cam 110™ engine makes an ironclad statement to holding on to what's right and staying true to what satisfies the rider.
IPOD® PORT (IPOD® INCLUDED)

Just having the juice to let loose isn't enough to call this system custom. The tunes themselves can tell the story of your life on two wheels. With an iPod®, an iPod® dock in the right-hand saddlebag, a module integrated into the radio and the intuitive controls right at your fingertips, the music is now yours, and that story is yours to write. And we'll even throw in the iPod® itself.
ACCESSORY CONNECTOR

Beyond the unique paint and graphics. Beyond the broad band of power. Beyond the cool custom features. You can enhance your Custom Vehicle Operations™ motorcycle even more by taking advantage of the exhaustive catalogue of Harley-Davidson add-ons and accessories. The accessory connector sits discreetly under the rider seat to the left, making sure that whatever add-ons you have for your bike are easily within your reach.
ELECTRONIC CRUISE CONTROL

If you're ready to take touring to the next level, the standard cruise feature will help you settle in for the long haul. Get the comfort of the cruise without the cables cluttering up your handlebar. Our electronic throttle control technology makes it possible to have the best of both worlds.
ANTI-LOCK BRAKES

When it comes to the CVO™ Street Glide® model, 'stopping power' has a double meaning. The components of our ABS are tastefully hidden within the wheel hub, so you'll still turn heads with a clean, streamlined design. More importantly, though, you get certainty in the saddle knowing your bike's going to behave when you need it.
ARTFULLY HIDDEN TECHNOLOGY

Harley-Davidson leverages the latest in technology without compromising style and function. That means we hide electronics. The whole wiring harness is skillfully routed behind the jewels of the bike—the tank, engine and all the other eye-popping features you want to see. It's just another way The Motor Company goes the extra mile to give its bikes that premium, top-of-the-line fit and finish.
INTUITIVE CONTROLS

Hand controls on a Harley-Davidson® motorcycle are incredibly intuitive. The turn signals are self-canceling and, based on the speed and angle of the motorcycle, they know how long to stay on. Engaging the controls quickly becomes second nature so you can focus less on turning off your signal and more on basking in the freedom of the ride.
ENHANCED HIGH OUTPUT PREMIUM AUDIO

You'll make big impression with more than just Screamin' Eagle® power and CVO style. New for 2012, we boosted the CVO Street Glide's sonic punch by adding a second 100W per channel amplifier and two more speakers with bridged tweeters in the saddlebag lids. That's eight custom speakers and two amps kicking out a total of 400 watts of high-fidelity oomph, making this CVO Touring masterpiece a true "Boom Bagger." So settle in, pump it up, and ride free.
LOWERED HYDRAULIC REAR SUSPENSION

Custom enhancements deliver the ultimate comfort and ride dynamics. You can even adjust your suspension preload to keep the ride as rigid or soft as you like. The hydraulic rear shocks have 40mm pistons and 14mm rods, so you get the rebound and damping you expect from a top-of-the-line Touring machine no matter what the road throws at you
TOURING CHASSIS

A true Touring bike has to be tough enough to take on thousands of miles for years to come. Our Touring chassis is designed to do just that. Based on a single-spar, rigid backbone frame and swingarm, it easily handles the hum of that big Screamin' Eagle® engine, and it's built to last. Perfect for riders that always take the scenic route.
LEGENDARY LOW SPEED MANEUVERABILITY

At The Motor Company, we believe you don't make innovative, next-generation Touring motorcycles without shedding a little blood, sweat and tears. And when you get it right—like with the low speed maneuverability on our Touring models —all the other upgrades in the ride just combine to create a big-boned bike that is light and nimble while carving up tight turns or if you find yourself riding in a parade or group ride.
BREMBO® BRAKES

Confidence. Control. High-performance dual disc Brembo® brakes offer consistent stopping power. The 4-piston front and rear calipers with dual front rotor brake system is state of the art and top of the line. It's just another way The Motor Company puts a high level of detail into their bikes to give you peace of mind throughout your journey.
TUNED TO BE RIDDEN

Harley-Davidson® motorcycles are different than any other bike out on the road. There's a balance to them. The steering, the maneuverability—it's all in concert. And each Harley-Davidson® model is tuned differently to create a unique riding experience for each individual no matter which bike they swing their leg over. Let's face it, we didn't get to where we are by being like everyone else.
FULL-LENGTH FOOTBOARDS

Your boots were made for riding, in any way you see fit. Our full-length rider footboards boast a tried and true design that's stood the test of time. With a slightly larger board than in years past, you can rock plenty of foot positions for your taste and comfort. Rubber vibration isolation offers a comfortable ride every time. And heel and toe shifting makes getting through the gears quick and easy. Plus, the passenger footpegs add another level of comfort for your riding partner.
2-1-2 EXHAUST

Welcome to the crossroads of pure Harley-Davidson style and smart engineering. The 2-1-2 exhaust helps direct heat away from the rider and passenger, while providing ample performance, and signature Harley-Davidson rumble, and big style.
ENGINE IDLE TEMPERATURE MANAGEMENT STRATEGY

Our motorcycles are built to be ridden. A lot. So that means that rider comfort is top of mind. Always. With the Engine Idle Temperature Management Strategy (EITMS) feature, the motorcycle automatically cuts fuel and fire from the rear cylinder when idling, which helps reduce engine heat felt by rider and passenger. Best part, you can easily turn this feature on or off yourself whenever the bike is stopped.
SLAMMED SEAT WITH DETACHABLE PILLION

Touring comfort meets custom style. This new low-profile, solo-styled 2-piece seat is pure pleasure for you and—with its Big Beast imprint leather inserts—for anyone who happens to stroll by your parking spot. It sits low to keep you snug to the bike, and we’ve added a matching detachable passenger pillion, matching passenger backrest pad, sissy bar, and grab strap that will keep your passenger happy to push on to the next state.

2012 Harley-Davidson FLSTSE3 CVO Softail Convertible Review

A touring machine with the soul of a cruiser. Master the road in custom comfort or strip down to cruise the boulevard cool and clean.

The Harley-Davidson® CVO™ Softail® Convertible is a limited-production custom motorcycle that can be configured for all-day touring, two-up cruising or solo profiling by adding or detaching key components, which can be easily removed or installed without tools.

The Softail® rear suspension mimics the clean lines of a vintage hardtail frame but offers the comfort of modern suspension that is hidden under the chassis.

The Harley-Davidson® CVO™ Softail® Convertible is a limited-production custom motorcycle that can be configured for all-day touring, two-up cruising or solo profiling by adding or detaching key components, which can be easily removed or installed without tools.

The Softail® rear suspension mimics the clean lines of a vintage hardtail frame but offers the comfort of modern suspension that is hidden under the chassis. The rigid powertrain allows tight packaging of the engine and frame and creates a solid connection between the rider and the power that moves the motorcycle.

2012 CVO Softail Convertible: Detachable compact fairing, saddlebags, passenger pillion and backrest make it possible to transform the CVO Softail Convertible from touring to cruising format in minutes. For 2012, a redesigned windshield significantly reduces turbulence to the rider and integrates a Road Tech™ zumo 660 GPS Navigator with an MP3 player. Turn-by-turn voice commands play over the two-speaker audio system. The detachable leather saddlebags match the seat and passenger backrest in either distressed brown leather or black leather with reptile inserts. A welded mini-ape handlebar adds a custom touch. Electronic cruise control, keyless ignition and an Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) provide touring functionality. Three new color combinations are available.

EXCLUSIVE CVO™ ENHANCEMENTS

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 paint. 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® 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.
CHROME WELDED MINI 'APE-HANGER' HANDLEBAR

Grab hold of the 1 ¼-inch chrome mini 'ape-hanger' handlebars and put your fists 8 inches up in the wind. The 90-degree welds scream garage custom and the internal wiring preserves a clean, premium look. Detach the fairing and extras to cut an even more dramatic figure and bring old-school chopper flavor to your top-of-the line custom cruiser.
CUSTOM STINGER CHROME WHEELS

These wheels are gorgeous in every way. Bold 18-inch wheels in front and back look great against that slammed bike profile. And the five-spoke, Stinger design is done up in fully polished mirrored chrome for a profile that's sharp, airy and distinct. The iconic Bar & Shield wheel weights and floating brake rotors are chromed out in true custom fashion.
HAND FINISHED FUEL TANK

Harley-Davidson® fuel tanks are finished by hand—that's what makes them stand out from the competition. Their seamless design and unmatched style are unique among all motorcycles on the road. The tanks are one of the first and last things people notice when they lay their eyes on a Harley-Davidson® motorcycle—so we make it worth their time.
DETACHABLE LEATHER SADDLEBAGS

These detachable bags take the convertible nature of this beast even further. Leave them off to cruise clean and cargo-free, or easily mount them for luxurious long-haul packing and protection (they’re big enough to hold a half-shell helmet and offer sealing against the elements). Combining smooth, sleek styling with the latest convenience features, these premium leather bags come with reptile print inserts, or—for the Satin Pewter finish—in distressed brown leather that matches the seat.
DETACHABLE PASSENGER PILLION

Reptile print inserts bring the style. The backrest pad brings the comfort. And the all-weather leather brings the quality. Best of all, it's easy to install when you want to take someone for a ride. Or quickly detach for stripped-back solo cruising. Together with the detachable fairing and saddlebags, it's like having two bikes in one. (The Satin Pewter color-combo's seating comes in distressed brown leather styling that matches the saddlebags.)
DIGITAL SPEEDO AND ANALOG TACH

Unique to the CVO Softail Convertible model, this high-tech gauge delivers a speedometer that toggles between mph and km/h and a unique perimeter-sweeping tachometer. Its digital, backlit 5-inch face makes for easy readouts, and the design pops with spun metal accents.
HIGH-IMPACT PAINT AND GRAPHICS

Individually-crafted and hand-finished high-impact paint and airbrushed graphics come standard on all Harley-Davidson® CVO™ motorcycles. The Crimson Red Sunglo scheme blazes with Scarlet Crystal graphics while the Satin Pewter and Abyss Blue both bristle with hand air-brushed skulls in the catacomb graphics. And for that extra mile of comfort and style, the Satin Pewter comes with distressed brown leather seat, pillion, backrest and saddlebags.
SCREAMIN' EAGLE® TWIN CAM 110B™ ENGINE HERITAGE

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 110B™ counter-balanced engine. We sweated bullets perfecting every cubic inch, pushing design and technology forward.

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.
PURE HARLEY-DAVIDSON STYLING

Feast your eyes on the Twin Cam 110B™ counter-balanced engine and there's no mistaking its roots. This is authentic Harley-Davidson® style through and through with an attention to detail you won't find from any other motorcycle company. Granite powder-coated heads and cylinders feature machined cooling fin tips and are highlighted by chrome rocker covers. Exclusive to Custom Vehicle Operations™, the granite powertrain and 110 badging are unapologetically distinguished. It's a jewel machined out of metal. Pure. Dripping with power.

From the classic edge of the cooling fins to the clean lines of cases and covers—the Twin Cam 110B™ engine makes an ironclad statement to holding on to what's right and staying true to what satisfies the rider.

And you'll love the confidence and control it lends when harnessing those 110 cubic inches of Screamin' Eagle® power.
'VENTILATOR' INTAKE WITH SCREAMIN' EAGLE® 110 INSERT

Everything about the Screamin' Eagle® Twin Cam 110™ Engine is a testament to the premium styling and performance you get with a limited Custom Vehicle Operations™ motorcycle. Right smack between the engine jugs rests the high-flow 'ventilator' intake with high-flow filter element, back plate, alligator-styled Screamin' Eagle badge and protective rain sock. Your bike will breathe easy while the increased air flow boosts the raw power. Unique and exclusive. That is what Custom Vehicle Operations is all about.
SCREAMIN' EAGLE® TWIN CAM 110B™ ENGINE INNOVATION

Fire up the Twin Cam 110B™ counter-balanced engine and feel the low-end torque unleashed for a smooth ride. The colossal 110 cubic inches provide seemingly endless torque with adrenaline-pumping pull through all six gears. Boasting the largest-displacement V-Twin engine by Harley-Davidson, the Twin Cam 110B™ produces 105 ft. lbs. of torque at 2750 rpm. Six speeds. A strong driveline and strong internal parts. And a low cruising rpm that couldn't feel better.
ELECTRONIC CRUISE CONTROL

Introducing the first-ever factory cruise control on a Harley-Davidson® Softail®. It's just another way the Convertible rides the line between cruising style and touring comfort. You'll get the convenience of cruise control without the cables cluttering up your handlebar. Our electronic throttle control technology makes it possible to have the best of both worlds.
ARTFULLY HIDDEN TECHNOLOGY

Harley-Davidson leverages the latest in technology without compromising style and function. That means we hide electronics. The whole wiring harness is skillfully routed behind the jewels of the bike—the tank, engine and all the other eye-popping features you want to see.

NEW INTEGRATED ROAD TECH ZuMO® 660 NAVIGATION SYSTEM

You may know where you're headed, but this system helps you get more out of every mile. Designed by bikers for bikers, this widescreen motorcycle nav system comes preloaded with City Navigator® NT street maps and markers for H-D® dealers, motels, restaurants, fuel, ATMs and anything else you might need out on the road. Its integrated into the instrument display and offers an easy-read format on a large-scale 4.3-inch touchscreen that's readable day or night, with a glove-friendly interface that makes using it as easy as shifting gears.
INTEGRATED MP3 PLAYER

With its seamlessly-integrated MP3 player, the Garmin Zumo Navigation system gives you 4GB of memory for thousands of your favorite songs at your fingertips. And since the system automatically pauses your tunes so that you can hear its turn-by-turn voice directions clearly, the only thing you’ll get lost in is the music. Crank it up!
PREMIUM SOUND SYSTEM

Your tunes in that Zumo-integrated MP3 player deserve a suitably booming system. With its 20W per channel amplifier driving its 3 ½–inch two-way speakers, the CVO Softail Convertible's system definitely delivers the rock in your roll. The amp, speakers, and volume control are housed artfully inside the inner fairing for a slick, clean look—a perfect compliment to the crisp, blanketing sound. Riding free just wouldn't be the same without the right soundtrack. Now, it's yours to write.
KEYLESS IGNITION SYSTEM WITH SECURITY SYSTEM

Talk about feeling connected to your machine. For anyone else, it's just a good-looking pile of metal. But it knows you. The ignition switch is gone and you don't even need a key to start your bike. The system features a hands-free fob that automatically arms the vehicle as you walk away from the bike. And when you get back, the system is disabled before you can swing your leg over and flip the switch to start it. It's all automatic. It just happens for you. And since the bike takes care of itself, we replaced the ignition switch with an eye-catching, back-lit medallion that glows red with the distinctive Custom Vehicle Operations™ logo.
ANTI-LOCK BRAKES

When it comes to the CVO Softail Convertible, 'stopping power' has a double meaning. Standard on this Custom Vehicle Operations™ motorcycle, the components of our ABS are tastefully hidden within the front and rear headlight cover, so you'll still turn heads with a clean, streamlined design. More importantly, though, you get certainty in the saddle knowing your bike's going to respond and stop smoothly when you need it to.
TUNED TO BE RIDDEN

Harley-Davidson® motorcycles are different than any other bike out on the road. There's a balance to them. The steering, the maneuverability—it's all in concert. And each Harley-Davidson® model is tuned differently to create a unique riding experience for each individual no matter which bike they swing their leg over. Let's face it, we didn't get to where we are by being like everyone else.
DETACHABLE PASSENGER SEAT

Though you get your dream bike, your passenger might argue they're the lucky one. They'll be seen soaking up miles in touring comfort, complete with a padded backrest—not to mention a chauffeur. And when it's time for you to go alone, just quickly detach the passenger pillion, backrest and upright and hit the throttle—don't worry, underneath you'll find stylish chrome and rubber trim strips for a clean solo look.
FULL-LENGTH FOOTBOARDS

Your boots were made for riding, in any way you see fit. Our full-length footboards boast a tried and true design that's stood the test of time. You can rock plenty of foot positions with the Rumble-style boards for your taste and comfort. Plus, rubber vibration isolation offers a smooth ride every time.
EXTENDED JIFFY LEG STAND

The CVO™ Softail® Convertible model is the ultimate bike for riders of all sizes. We've even added a longer side stand to make it easy for you to extend and tuck away, no matter your inseam. Polished and chrome-plated, it adds style and convenience. So when you roll up to a roadhouse, you'll be able to slide off and settle in without even breaking your stride.
CUSTOM SEAT

The perfect saddle for riders craving that low-down slammed West Coast style. At a sunken 24.4 inches, this seat is one of the lowest you'll find on a Harley-Davidson® motorcycle. And the slim nose makes it even easier to get your feet flat on the ground. Riders of all sizes can sink down in the saddle and confidently stalk the boulevard in comfort. As for style, the Satin Pewter scheme’s seat is distressed brown leather that matches the saddlebags, pillion and backrest for rugged but luxurious looks, while black reptile print inserts give the Abyss Blue and Crimson Red Sunglo combos a touch of classic detail.
DETACHABLE FAIRING

The CVO Softail Convertible model is all about options. We’ve redesigned the fairing for 2012, making it taller and wider for enhanced wind protection—it helps you beat the elements over the long haul but detaches easily if you want to cruise in the wind. The windshield-mounted Zumo™ Road Tech 660’s voice directions will keep you on track wherever you're going, or you can put it to a more entertaining use: booming your favorite road tunes from its integrated MP3 player through the built-in speakers and amp.

Harley-Davidson Custom Vehicle Operations (CVO)TM emphasizes exclusive styling and inspiring performance with four limited-production motorcycle models for 2012. Decked out with bold paint, gleaming chrome, high-output audio and the most-powerful V-Twin engines offered in production Harley-Davidson motorcycles, each CVO model is a rolling object of desire for the discerning motorcyclist.

Each 2012 CVO model is powered by the fuel-injected Twin Cam 110™ V-Twin, the largest-displacement engine offered in a Harley-Davidson motorcycle, rated at up to 122 ft. lbs. of torque. This engine is only available from the factory in CVO models. CVO motorcycles are customized using premium accessories and paint treatments combined with numerous items from the Harley-Davidson Genuine Motor Accessories catalog. The CVO program is often used to introduce new custom components and techniques before they are offered as individual accessories. Harley-Davidson CVO motorcycles are backed by a two-year, unlimited mileage warranty.

CVO models return for 2012 with new paint schemes and features.
