THE 2009
SCREAMIN EAGLE HARLEYS

The new 2009 Screamin Eagle Harleys have been unveiled.

All 2009 Screamin Eagle Harley-Davidson CVO (Custom Vehicle Operations) models come with the largest stock engine Harley builds, a fuel-injected Screamin' Eagle Twin Cam 110 that's finished with a granite powder-coated texture and chrome covers. The 110ci V-twin is hooked up to a 6-speed Cruise Drive transmission and a heavy-duty hydraulically clutch. Also part of the package is a long list of accessories and heavily chromed parts, not to mention suspension tweaks and revised mechanical components. For a closer look at the Screamin Eagle models, click on the blue CVO links.

FAT BOB SCREAMIN EAGLE FAT BOB
At $25,299, the CVO Fat Bob is the most affordable of the CVO model. It's also the lowest volume model, with only 2450 available for 2009. The custom Fat Bob features Harley's first use of 16-in. Fang wheels, which combine a black powder coat slotted center with a chrome rim. Sitting on lowered and retuned suspension, the CVO Fat Bob boasts plenty more flash, including a smoked LED tail/brake light assembly, a Heavy Breather engine intake with exposed filter and Harley's first-ever use of Alcantara on the saddle.

SOFTAIL SPRINGER SCREAMIN EAGLE SPRINGER
The $26,999 CVO Softail Springer's production will be limited to just 2500 units and combines a chromed, retro-looking sprung front end with an ultrafat 240mm rear tire. The Springer is equipped with the same Heavy Breather intake as the Fat Bob and wears a 130mm front tire and an improved four-piston brake caliper. You'll also get a real buffalo hide seat. Other cool details include the spun aluminumfaced instruments and a fully polished and chromed swing arm.

ROAD GLIDE SCREAMIN EAGLE ROAD GLIDE
Next is the Road Glide, at $30,999 which will see a production of 3000 bikes. Arguably the boldest-looking of the 2009 CVOs, the Road Glide contradicts typical bagger stereotypes with its short windshield, saddlebag extenders and rakish profile. The CVO Road Glide's massive frame-mounted fairing is color-matched front and back, and houses spun aluminum faces and a two-speaker Harman/Kardon stereo system. The Glide features Harley's new touring chassis, which is now robotically welded, and has a new motor mount system for smoother idling. A revised touring exhaust is also designed to offer more passenger space, and less heat.

ULTRA CLASSIC
The Screamin Eagle Ultra Classic is the most expensive of the new Screamin Eagle Harleys at $35,499. Production is 4,200. The CVO Ultra has the same revised touring frame and exhaust system as the Road Glide, plus a reinforced saddlebag mounting system for greater payload capacity and a new suspended seat that reduces fatigue and more effectively deflects heat. Power-locking saddlebags, air-adjustable rear suspension and Brembo-sourced antilock brakes are great for long rides, and a 160-watt Harman/Kardon stereo and an internally wired electronic throttle add unexpectedly modern touches to the bike.
