To better facilitate turning over this big-incher, H-D has equipped it with a high-torque 1.4-kilowatt starter motor. Turn the ignition switch (located on the dash) and the Electronic Sequential Port Fuel Injection buzzes into action the key is not needed unless the ignition had been locked. This TC110 certainly runs the fun meter much farther up the scale than the ol’ 88 ever did, and it does so without any of the common obnoxious side effects of objectionable noise and vibration that often accompany these upgrades. The valves, of course, are larger on the CVO. Where does the power come from? It’s bored and stroked to 101.6 x 111.1mm (from the TC88’s 92.25 x 101.6mm), and the mixture is squeezed by forged pistons with a compression ratio of 9.3:1 (formerly 8.9:1), with the tried-and-true two valves per cylinder actuated by pushrods and hydraulic, self-adjusting lifters that never need adjustment. The standard Harley Big Twin motor in ’07 will now be a 96-incher (see Kickstarts), but we have not yet strapped one to the dyno. At Rider we’ve dynoed stock TC88 motors consistently at about 64-65 horsepower our Screamin’ Eagle model here, however, cranked out 83 horses on the Borla dyno-a 30 percent increase in power from a 25 percent increase in displacement, and a lot more beans than the old 88-incher (which has been discontinued) ever had. Not only are the bikes adorned with acres of paint and brightwork, but they come with an air-cooled, 45-degree, 110-cubic-inch (1,800cc) Twin Cam engine, the largest-displacement engine Harley-Davidson has ever offered, and it’s mated to the new Cruise Drive six-speed transmission that debuted on the 2006 Dyna series. If that sounds all too familiar (and like too much work), Harley-Davidson has a deal for you! If you want something that looks and runs and sounds better than your usual run-of-the-mill stocker (specifically in a new 2007 Road King, Electra Glide Ultra, Dyna or Softail Springer format), but do not wish to invest the months and downtime necessary to bring it together, this bike represents what The Motor Company’s Custom Vehicle Operations (CVO) line can deliver, right to your dealer’s floor from the factory.įor 2007 H-D’s CVO division will deliver approximately 3,500 of these third-generation 2007 Harley-Davidson Screamin’ Eagle CVO Road Kings from the plant in York, Pennsylvania, along with about 9,000 other CVOs based upon the other models above. Now if the bike breaks in half‚ both halves are yours. The downtime may have cost you half a riding season waiting on parts and painters and such, but at least you’d have yerself a ginuwine custom bike, a personal statement making at least 25 percent more power than stock‚ but at the further expense of perhaps irritating people with the bike’s window-rattling exhaust decibels, and you’ll likely void that precious warranty. Top it all off with a spiffy paint job and you’re likely to be into this baby for over 30 large after many months and many thousands of dollars. If you’re serious about performance you might split the cases for a stroker crank, bore job, high-compression pistons and a six-speed transmission. Mix in some function items including aftermarket brakes and suspension, then more style items including wheels, a high-tech headlight and gauges and bolt-on chrome-lots of mother-lovin’ bling-bling chrome! Next come comfort items such as a custom seat, grips, footboards, foot controls and hand levers. For performance you start with cams, a carburetor or fuel-injection chip, exhaust system and ignition module to let the big guy breathe and rev. If you’re like most buyers of new Harley-Davidsons, you begin the customization process as soon as you take delivery of your bike-if not before. **2007 Harley-Davidson CVO FLHRSE3 Screamin Eagle Road King in Razor Red with Burnt Gold Leafing graphics
