2022 CVO Harley Davison Road Glide 700 mile Review 

Congrats I know I love my blue steel CVO road glide. Bought mine within 4 hours of its arrival. I did the same klock werks and added air ride to mine. She’s got 1300 miles already.

I bought one myself even though I have an '08 such a beautiful bike. Only have 250 miles and getting my upgrades right now: Cam, pipes, Legend suspension front and rear (harley's are junk no sense it waiting), I got the luggage rack and passenger backrest. I have a Russell Day Long seat on it with driver backrest and heat. (not as sleek as the stock but I ride long distances a lot so comfort is what I'm after. Have the ceramic coating put on it as well. Love the bike.

I just came across your channel and subscribed. I'm very happy to support a fellow moto content creator. The Blue Steele color is a very cool color. I've seen the same bike at my local dealer and it is 🔥. Beautiful bike. Congrats. Ride safe 👊👍🇺🇸

We have the same bike! But me and my fiancé customized the bike a bit ! Louder exhaust pipes and mean handle bars and back rest. Recently changed the rims too !

Inspirational homie after doing ten years in the big house it’s good seeing chicanos shining

Sweet back bro, grab that 131, & you'll feel A WHOLE NEW WORLD. STAY SAFE. That black chrome is beautiful bro.

I installed 14" apes on my Road glide, man the difference was amazing. My bike feels so much better. Also the worst thing about my bike is the suspension. No matter how I adjust it , it still hits hard . Other than that I'm good for awhile. The 103 vtwin has plenty of power. I be the 117 is much nicer . Great bike bro.

I like the stretched bags better but other than that it’s a beautiful bike !

Thanks for doing this review! I was a bit on the fence about whether to buy or not but I just put the deposit down today on the exact same bike as you. Your review was helpful in my decision.

Hin Nico you r lucky 2 get a cvo these days concratulations👍 I have a 2019 cvo rad glide an it came with the same “front problem” In Germany we like 2 go fast on the autobahn and @ 100-120 miles my front End starts 2 shake but these bike r not build 2 go that fast i guesse😉 I start 2 higher my front wheel pressure and it helps a little But any other than that its a great motorcycle you will have a lot of fun👍 My recommendation will be a 12 or 14” Monkey Bar its a big diffence 2 ride this Bike believe me! Greetings from Munich Germany🖖🏼🍺

just road my new 2022 cvo rgl home for portsmouth va to ohio 643.4 miles in the rain and beat the snow it ran great I love it hi tail yellow...one thing to take in consideration about harleys vs indian....its about 1800 dealers through out usa and about 180 indian dealers usa....so if your on the hi way and have a problem you most likely will find a dealer or shop to take care of you... BUT if it's a indian HUMMM don't know might have to be towed upto 200 miles to a dealer. Indian was bought by Polaris but if you go there they won't service your bike...the after market parts for harleys is so large and not for Indians check it out

Thanks mate! Thoroughly enjoyed your passion and insight. You've convinced me to put one in the shed! Greeting from Australia you Champion. :)

Best of Luck with it Nico! It is a Beautiful Bike! Nice Review!

There is no excuse for a $40,000 motorcycle to shake at speed and make you feel like you need a better suspension. I would return it and demand my money back. If I'm spending 40G'S I want to be 100% pleased.

I got the 21 road glide cvo bronze armor, I just passed 10,300 miles today. Absolutely the best decision I’ve made when it comes to choices. I’ve done a few more upgrades such as legend shocks all around upgrades headlight 14 inch la chopper meat hooks. Trust me it won’t be long before u swap that whole exhaust.. unless you’re really into that quiet sound

I feel your pain about the suspension, that's why I trade my road glide after testing ride a Challenger, I tried to replace my road glide rear suspension with a legend suspension still not compatible with Challenger, Still loving the look of Road glide, Amazing Cvo enjoy!!

i been thinking about road glide CVO since 2019 wen it came with mako shark color .. but unfortunately only 3 CVO came to my country and all been sold .. so i waited for the right color and finally this color blue steal is worth getting and i hope in next few month i put my hand on one ... anyway am really happy for u m8 and congratz for the right bike and the right color .. drive safe and enjoy ur ride

thx for the video & informative comments! congrats & happy trails ;-)

Next Tuesday I‘ll finally pick my brand new CVO Street Glide Blue Steel from my dealer in Frankfurt/Germany… How cool it would be to take a trip with you and your CVO Road Glide in California 😎😎😎 Have a nice weekend Bro!

Nico, great video. Maybe take a video of you going through the twisties at 75 to 90 and maybe we can pick up the shimmy that you’re talking about on the video then when you get your upgrade front and rear you can do another video. I’m on a stock 20 RGS I’ve got the king tour pack heated grips foot pegs and that lower spoiler on the front over the oil cooler. I’ve got 16,000 miles on the bike and I’ve had it for 13 months bought it late 20. I ride with my suspension at 15 because I like a firmer ride in town/canyons. Then I don’t really have to change it when I throw the tour pack on and drop a load/go 2up. Look for more videos from you on this bike.

Nice Bike. Everyone needs to treat themselves to their dream bike at least once.

Nice bike. I love my 20 cvo RG . Worth every penny. I changed my pipes, bars and added the klockworks wind screen. But left the rest stock. Great bike

Hey beautiful bike. Just a thought (I too have the Road Glide) I’ve found that the front tire side edges have a Harley Shield pattern moulded/recessed in the tire on both sides all the way around. When leaning in corners these “Bar/Shield” recesses whirrr and vibrate up the suspension. Absolutely horrible thing to put in a tire design. Once the front tire got replaced with “non-Harley branded) problem solved 👍🏻

Love the bike! Congratulations on your new ride!

Hey Bud Nice machine ! I have a 2020 streetglide and it corners as good as my 2006 BMW k1200s ! My first Harley and can't believe how it handles the tiwsties. Should handle that speed with no problem ! Again it's a looker. Ride on !

This CVO is a stunning looker... Its got a great stance and those spoked rims really set it off. Unfortunately, HD suspension is not up to par for high performance riding, the front and rear definitely need upgrading they are going to be ridden hard.

Congrats on the new Bike looks Great.

That’s the new brakingsystem

I did enjoy your video it was straight and forward

Fantastic bike 👍 Always safe rides and bring us more content in the future to let us now, how your journey goes on.

Thanks the video. Love the bike. Enjoy!

Everything you say is so good Congratulations Enjoy it Tkhs for sharing

Awesome Bike...Ohlins or Legend Suspensions you will feel the difference. Thank you for the great content. Blessings

Nice choice,I like your mods and agree that’s all you need in my opinion. Its a shame the suspension sucks they all do out of the box.

Beautiful bike congratulations. New rear shocks are a great upgrade.

Absolutely beautiful bike man!! I am picking up a rg around July-August this year but it will not be the cvo unfortunately lol enjoy

I came from bmw ×3 on my 2nd hd, i prefer hd. It's funny i didn't think i would. You gotta own one 2 understand...

What an amazing motorcycle.

Gorgeous bike. That color is killer.

Great video, enjoy the ride!

First of all thanks for the Video, my is coming this May so super excited to see it in person .... hopefully i wont be disappointed ... just one question would you be able to post the detail of the upgrade you have done? i.e. are they HD original parts or someone brand wold love to see them and will help me to decide on my upgrades

Ciao Nico! Thanks for the new video. I'm waiting for my CVO blue steel (I hope for next. April). My last HD was a RoadKing Classic 103. So, You suggest to change suspension... For your opinion it will be sufficient to change only rear suspensions? What type of suspension you suggest? Ohlins? Thanks in advance ( sorry for my bad English):-)

WILBERS-Suspension - Germany, available in your country, too

Beautiful bike have one as well same issue it’s the front end. I think the suspension is not that great looking into Ohlins and Wilburs

Thanks for your sharing the information

That is a awesome looking bike buddy.

I love that color, but after what HD did to us gunship grey CVO owners I'll think twice about spending all that money on a solid color CVO. If it becomes very popular it'll be on half the bikes in the future

I came really close to getting this, but the exhaust was the deal breaker. With aftermarket exhaust, I don't think they can match the color of black chrome, and the black chrome is killer.

yes having legend axeo in front that's the solution.

Legends suspension

CVO bikes don’t need anything, there perfect👍

Bad ass machine brother....

Hey Nico, thanks for all the videos! I pick my steel blue RG tomorrow. Very excited to get it. Looking to change out windshield before I leave dealer they carry the klock werks as well. How is the 9" for deflecting the wind over? I'm pondering between the 12 or 9 in dark smoke 9 looks great, just looking to hear how it's working for you with all the riding you been doing. Eventually I think I will be going with the tab slip-ons from what I researched the heat shields will fit to keep that scorched Chrome look also you can change and put the stack end caps on these as well after Drilling a couple holes but anyway just wanted to find out what you thought about that 9 inch and how it's working out for you I know everybody's different again that is a very beautiful bike can't wait to get my hands on mine safe travels to you always can't wait to see it with your chopped Tour pack I had to go with the King Tour pack do the wife needs to think she has to bring the kitchen sink and the bathroom sink with her LOL enjoy brother keep the knees in the breeze!

Nico, one more question for you. Can you recommend those riding boots visible in the video for warm / hit summer days in US?

Great video! Really entertaining and well done! Bike is awesome! Question about rider backrest - you seem to have original seat, which rider backrest do you have and did you hbe to make any alterations to its fixing?

Love that color

Beautiful Ride 👍 Greetings from South Africa

Is that Backrest from Harley. I was told by my dealer the new CVO seat doesn’t allow for a riders backrest because the rear pillion overlaps the front seat?

Great video. I have a 2021 CVO Road Glide in Black Hole with Graphics. I love this bike! Question: Did you have to change the seat to get the rider back rest docking station to accept a rider back rest? On my 2021, there is no slot to insert the rider back rest. How did yours fit?

Good review Awesome bike Congratulations

How would something like this be for a first timer? Bigger guy here so naturally I’m looking at bigger bikes.

That rear tire is starting to flatten out.

Beautiful Bike!

G’day Nico , which backrest bracket size do have - small , average or tall ? And how tall are you ? Lol

It's my dream bike.

Nice review.

That bike almost had me trading in my 20 lol

the only thing I don't like is those spoke rims they got to go

Beautiful bike Fam 🤙🏾🔥

U may want to consider put in S&S oil pump and cam plate and Lifter coughs.

I have a klock werks on mine 2

Nothing like a vtwin

Nice review!

Nice bike

Nico, guestion about the windshield: is it 9’ sport blacked out? Thomas

ВОТ ЭТОТ РАЗВОД МАРКЕТОЛОГОВ - ЧЕРНЫЙ НА ЧЕРНОМ !!! КОНКРЕТНО УДЕШЕВЛЯЕТ ПРОИЗВОДСТВО!!! ХРОМ ЛУЧШЕ ВСЕГО И ДОРОЖЕ!!!))) С УВАЖЕНИЕМ ИЗ МОСКВЫ!!!

Pipes got to go! 😎

Where did you get the rider backrest? Aftermarket? Thanks

It should be flawless

What back rest is that. I have a steel blue CVO as well

It’s not black chrome, it’s called scorched chrome

50 grand you should not have one issue. You should not need any up grades to fix issues at 50 grand.

Beautiful CVO! If You consider to upgrade the suspension, check out Million Dollar Bogans 131 build or my channel. I upgraded more than 10 RG CVOs during the last 12 months...

I think cvos are worth it

how much you pay for it?

Harley Davidson suspension sucks ...get you some olins front and rear and you'll love it

Stock harley suspension is garbage even cvo models. They should roll them right from the showroom to the service department. That why I ride an Indian. 🤣

No way for 42k....

shouldn't need to upgrade anything on a bike this expensive wtf hd

You paid $50,000 and now you feel you need to UPGRADE your suspension ?? Man … Harley takes you for ? Stop drinking the cool-aid !! 🤣🤣 I N S A N I T Y
