2007 Harley-Davidson CVO

2007 FXSTSSE Screamin' Eagle Softail Springer Despite the multitude of custom bikes at the 2007 CVO introduction, one in particular stood out from the crowd, and that was the Springer. In addition to its instantly recognizable front end, H-D outfitted the Softail CVO with some wicked paint. The Springer in our group was dressed in Amarillo Gold with Candy Tangerine and Tribal Flame Graphics. While the 110 TC made the Road King feel like a spry little Sportster, the new powerplant turned the seemingly docile Springer into a wicked street drag machine. Despite weighing in at 692 pounds dry (claimed), the Springer fitted with the 110 TC was a blast. Throw in a custom air cleaner cover and insert which includes a stage 1 air cleaner kit, and straights turned into obligatory drag strips. Simply whack the throttle open and all 110 cubic inches work in unison to rip the visor right off your Shoei. The Springer also comes with a sixth gear and hydraulic clutch which make frequent shifts easy. The attached saddle seemed to fit my rump fairly well, while the geometry of the Springer is maxed out by my six-foot frame. Larger riders may want to keep the Springer on the boulevard because it's not as forgiving on longer rides. Up front a 21-inch front wheel separates the chrome from the asphalt while a 17-inch chrome Revolver wheel bounces the reflecting sun all over the road. The Springer is outfitted with 200mm rear rubber out back, while Revolver brake discs and sprockets help bring it to a stop. The Springer also gets the requisite dose of chrome around the instrument cluster, including the LED fuel indicator and mini tach with chrome mounts. Forward controls are courtesy of the New Centerline Accessory collection (grips, footpegs, shifter peg, and brake pedal pad), which were developed specifically for the CVO line. The final highlight of the Springer CVO machines is the tri-bar LED taillight with smoke colored lens cover.
