Before that though, take a look at this video and let us know what you think.

We have limited images of the bike to go on of course, as the full reveal of the new 2023 Harley-Davidson CVO Road Glide and Street Glide doesn’t take place until the 7th of June. It’s a big step for a big bike, and big bikes need big brakes. Exciting stuff! The brakes are immediately recognisable as Brembo four-pots with proper radial mountings. If that is true it not only means it's Showa kit, but also that there could be a semi-active electronic element to them. We aren’t sure of the maker of the forks, but they look very similar to the items found on the Pan America 1250 Special. Harley is changing that for 2023, as both the new bikes will be shod with proper USD forks and radially mounted brakes. The previous CVO models used traditional-looking forks and brakes which, while modern within, looked like they could have come from the 1980s. Harley-Davidson Electra Glide Highway King announced for Icons CollectionĪnother major change for this year is the suspension and braking system. The panels that sit beneath the rider are also changed, with a crease running along the length of them making them look more angular. It now shrouds the wheel much less than before and overall looks to be shorter in length. The front fender is also new and features a simmer design. It’s a neat look and not something we’ve seen before. The front headlight is more square than before, and the DRLs on the front of this bike are integrated into the wings of the ‘Batwing’ fairing. The Street Glide is still instantly recognisable as a Street Glide, just with a much more modern front end. The rest of the fairing looks quite similar to before, just tightened up and slightly more muscular. It features a main headlight located dead centre in the fairing, with a DRL that swoops beneath it. The Bender (from Futurama) front end of the old CVO Road Glide is gone, and in its place in an equally distinctive, but much easier-on-the-eye design.
Oily bits aside, the styling of both the CVO Road and Street Glide has been totally revamped. Indian’s equally America Pursuit puts out around 120hp, and with just over 100hp coming from the previous 117ci Milwaukee-Eight, it’s a gap Harley-Davidson is likely keen to make up. A by-product of this technology could also be that the updated and incoming Milwaukee-Eight makes a bit more power, something that would help Harley as it is looking to head off any competition from home and abroad. The VVT system on both CVOs should not only help to deliver the grunt where the rider needs it (which on a Harley really isn’t hard) but more importantly it’ll help Harley to clean up the exhaust emissions, a key battleground for any modern motorcycle maker. This would be one of the first traditional H-D V-twins to gain VVT, with the only other bikes already featuring the tech being the liquid-cooled Revolution Max units found in the Pan America 1250, Sportster S, and Nightster. The increase in capacity isn’t the big news, the inclusion of the VVT system very much is.
The big news here is (revised and more modern styling aside) a brand new Milwaukee-Eight 121ci (1,982cc) VVT engine. Put on your bad-boy helmets as we explore some of the most beautiful bikes that James built or owned.This video though is the first time we’ve seen the bikes in motion, and just for a split second (if you crank the volume up) we can now get a listen to that updated V-twin engine. We dug deep into the history of James's craftsmanship and discovered twenty bikes that James built. Some of the bikes that James built, he kept for personal collection while selling the other bikes through West Coast Choppers.
At the peak of the business, James and his team built custom bikes that celebrities bought. James's clever marketing strategy and celebrity ties helped to grow West Coast Choppers. James left his partially owned business, Austin Speed Shop, to focus on reopening West Coast Choppers in Austin after closing the shop in Long Beach. After Discovery channel produced a documentary of James's life, the network giant approached him to host a show called Monster Garage, entailing James and crew to modify vehicles.

James based the workshop in Austin, Texas and hired a team of professional motorbike customizers to help him build bikes that most of us would love to own. Although James owned a restaurant called "Cisco Burger" and published Garage Magazine, his affinity for motorbikes would compel him to spend most of his time working at West Coast Choppers to build motorbikes. After working as a bodyguard for bands such as Slayer and Soundgarden, Jesse James started West Coast Choppers from his mother's garage in the early '90s.
