    I may be sending HD forums mad with all my questions but here I go again 
    I posted the topic cvo or stage 4 and a reply from Retroman { thanks bro } mentioned his cvo Springer,  have been looking at cvo Springers all day
    After going off the Rocker { thanks HD forums input  } simpley becouse I intend to do a lot of turing and ride like a mad cunt it makes me a bit scared I would putting a Rocker down 

    So ... the cvo Springer in particular the 2009 
     why the fork springs ? 
    Are they ok for turing and handling or like a Rocker more for show     
    I keep going back to the Roadking for obvious practical reasons but the cvo 2009 springer is awesome on the eye 

    Hope you lot are not pissed with sorting all my shit out

    I spent a looong time researching CVO Springers before I pulled the pin on one

    I settled on the 2008 , came in 3 colours , "Black Diamond", "Inferno Orange" and 2008 Anniversary Copper/Black and gold ( ONLY SOLD IN THE USA !)

    I decided the 2008 mostly because of the wheel sizes. 200/17 rear , 18 inch front , and I got a "Black Diamond and Metal grind" , the Inferno Orange is well VERY VERY Orange. regarded to be the best handling of the 3 years

    The 2007 has the same rear and a 21 inch front , came in 3 colours Abyss Blue ,Amarillo Gold or Canyon Copper red.

    The 2009 has a 240 rear , similar frame to a Rocker. Not the best handling of the 3 years. Came in Emerald ice ( green) , Blue steel ( Blue) or Sunrise yellow ( US sale only ), and they all look real good

    The springer front end is VERY firm after years on telescopic fork bikes , but it's stable and I ( you ) soon get to like it.

    No ABS on any of the Springers , very few bikes had it in 2008 anyways
