25 Years of Progression
An Overview and Review By Johnny White
This year marks 25 years since Harley-Davidson first released a CVO, which stands for Custom Vehicle Operations. The Factory has always been known to chase the trends to ensure they are on the cutting edge as far as fit and functionality of the newest and latest customs. This usually translates to The Motor Company releasing a bike several years after it’s been offered to the public…but with a factory backing and warranty.
One of the many things I’ve discovered over the years when customizing my bikes is that the cooler I make a bike look and the further I take it from stock form, the more of a headache the bike becomes. Honestly, I have ruined plenty of bikes to get the “look” I wanted only to regret the change and have to live with it. Since 2002 I have yet to own a stock Harley-Davidson and feel it was finished from the Factory…done.
