2017 Harley-Davidson CVO Street Glide Overview

For 2017, Harley-Davidson offers the CVO Street Glide as a custom / cruiser motorcycle with 1868 cc on tap. The 2017 Harley-Davidson CVO Street Glide is built around a Four stroke, V-Twin, Milwaukee-Eight 114, Pushrod-operated, overhead valves with hydraulic, self-adjusting lifters, 4 valves per cylinder engine, a compression ratio of 10.5:1. Out on the road, the CVO Street Glide delivers 165 Nm @ 3250 rpm of torque. In everyday use, the 2017 CVO Street Glide tips the scales at 398 kg, carries a 22.7-litre fuel tank, offers a seat height of Unladen 690 mm and spans a 1625 mm wheelbase. That's roughly 97.4 kg heavier than the average custom / cruiser motorcycle in our database. Every technical detail, from suspension travel to tyre sizes, is covered in the full 2017 Harley-Davidson CVO Street Glide spec sheet below.

2017 CVO Street Glide - Pros & Cons

Strengths

Fuel injection: No choke, no jetting, no altitude compensation to think about - fuel injection just works across a wider range of conditions than carburetion.
Accessible seat height: At just Unladen 690 mm, flat-footing at a stop is easy for most riders - a genuine confidence builder for less experienced owners.
Large fuel range: With a 22.7-litre tank, this isn't a bike you'll be stopping for fuel every hour - a real asset on longer trips.
Low-maintenance final drive: Belt final drive is about as close to maintenance-free as motorcycle drivetrains get.

Considerations

Age-related wear: No particular mechanical concern flags for the CVO Street Glide - condition on any used example comes down to how well it's been looked after.

Wear Points & Servicing Notes

Heat management in traffic

Air cooling on the CVO Street Glide keeps the mechanical layout simple, but heat management in slow traffic needs more attention than on a liquid-cooled bike - plan routes and gear accordingly in warmer conditions.

Fuelling & injector care

Fuelling on the CVO Street Glide comes from Electronic Sequential Port Fuel Injection (ESPFI). Cold starts and throttle response stay consistent across altitude and temperature, the main practical edge over a carbureted equivalent.

Suspension condition on used examples

Suspension duties are handled by 41.3 mm telescopic, cartridge-style damping, up front and Short, air-adjustable shock at the rear. Weeping fork seals aren't a dealbreaker on a used bike, but they're a fair basis for negotiating price.

Final drive maintenance

Belt final drive keeps day-to-day maintenance minimal on the CVO Street Glide - just periodic tension and wear checks rather than the regular cleaning a chain demands.

Frame & chassis check

The Mild steel, square-section backbone with twin downtubes chassis holds up well with normal use; on a used bike it's still worth checking the head-stock and swingarm pivot area for impact damage or corrosion.

Handling the weight at a standstill

The CVO Street Glide's 398 kg kerb weight is worth factoring into how you handle it at a standstill - parking-lot manoeuvres need a bit more deliberate technique than on a lighter machine.

CVO Street Glide - Buying & Maintenance Guide

What to check before buying

A pre-purchase check on the 2017 Harley-Davidson CVO Street Glide should cover the same ground every time: service history, chain and sprocket condition, and any oil seepage around the casings. Start it from cold if you can - a well-kept CVO Street Glide settles to a smooth idle within seconds.

Oil and filter changes

Oil changes are the cheapest insurance you can buy for a CVO Street Glide's engine - keep to the manufacturer's interval rather than stretching it. Use the viscosity grade the manual specifies, not whatever's on sale.

Fuel system care

Injector systems like the CVO Street Glide's hold up well with basic care - decent fuel, an occasional cleaner additive, and draining old fuel before any layup longer than three months.
