2009 Harley-Davidson CVO Models

What sports acres of chrome, gallons of custom-finished paint and enough trick details to make SEMA look like an Amish convention? Step to the front of the class if you guessed the 2009 Harley-Davidson Custom Vehicles Operations lineup: four limited edition 2009 CVOs models that are available in 12 dizzying color schemes, each variant offering an edgy twist on iconic Harley-Davidson bikes.

The $25,299 Dyna Fat Bob is the entry-level CVO. Pricey for a cruiser, but a relative bargain in the world of heavily modified customs; the cost of entry puts you among 2,450 riders who thrive on its slammed suspension, Heavy Breather intake, internally wired handlebar and mile-long list of special parts. Think of the CVO Fat Bob as a laid back cruiser for those who refuse to go unnoticed.

If you’ve always had a hankering for an old school Springer, you can ride one of 2,500 CVO versions that feature an exclusively designed frame, a custom seat with genuine buffalo inserts and embroidered flames, spun aluminum gauges and chrome swingarm. This $26,999 bike is built for die-hard nostalgiacs; one look at the coiled front suspension, and you’ll want to time travel back to the 1940s.

Next up is the imposing $30,999 CVO Road Glide, which will stick to the ribs of 3,000 buyers thanks to a frame-mounted fairing, saddlebag extensions and a streamlined tail. This bad boy rolls on 18-inch chrome forged aluminum wheels and is available in Harley’s classic electric orange and vivid black color scheme. The Road Glide is a loping bagger, the type of bike that swoops in unannounced like a Bugsy Siegel-style gangster.

The granddaddy of them all is the $35,499 CVO Ultra Classic Electra Glide. Decked out with a 160-Watt, Harman Kardon stereo, dual-heated seats with shark leather inserts and a lightly smoked low windshield, the Glide is the ride you want to take on long cruises where comfort is crucial. It also happens to be the priciest Harley, so you’ll want to ride with care when you’ve loaded up the saddlebags and have cruise control locked in at an even 65, as you ride away from civilization.
