CUSTOMIZING HAS ALWAYS BEEN part of the Harley-Davidson scene. Owners individualize their bikes by modifying them, tuning them, changing components, and painting them to their own taste.
Harley had always supplied accessories, but in 1999 they offered customers the opportunity to buy bikes that had been personalized to their own specifications by the company’s Custom Vehicle Operations division. A limited number of bikes were reworked with performance parts and other accessories as well as custom paint finishes. CVO bikes typically receive larger capacity engines the season before they are offered on standard bikes. This is a 2010 CVO Softail model.
