2011 CVO Preview

The 2011 Harley-Davidson CVO Softail Convertible will meet the needs of many riders, especially those looking to transform their style from custom tourer to custom cruiser.

The new CVO Softail Convertible features all the amenities of a touring machine, but also quickly allows the rider to turn the machine into a cruiser by removing the detachable fairing, leather saddlebags, passenger pillion and backrest upright.

When it comes to features, the Motor Company didn’t skimp on details. The 2011 CVO Softail Convertible is equipped with a new audio system that integrates 3.5-inch two-way speakers and a 20-watt-per-channel amplifier into a redesigned inner fairing. Music is delivered by an 8GB iPod nano stored in a protective pouch.

Additional new features include locking leather saddlebags, a leather rider seat and passenger pillion, and a leather backrest pad. Also, a new 1.25-inch welded mini-ape handlebar keeps the ride cool and comfortable. Standard Electronic Throttle Control (ETC), cruise control, keyless ignition and ABS (anti-lock braking system) give the CVO Softail Convertible more touring capability.
