harley-davidson cvo (custom vehicle operations)for motorcycles are a family of models created by harley-davidson for the factory custom market. for every model year since the program's inception in 1999, harley-davidson has chosen a small selection of its mass-produced motorcycle models and created limited-edition customizations of those platforms with larger-displacement engines, costlier paint designs, and additional accessories not found on the mainstream models. special features for the cvo lineup have included performance upgrades from harley's "screamin' eagle" branded parts, hand-painted pinstripes, ostrich leather on seats and trunks, gold leaf incorporated in the paint, and electronic accessories like gps navigation systems and ipod music players.
