CVO Street Glide Special

This was Harley-Davidson’s factory-custom CVO touring bagger for the FLHXSE family, and the “Special” wording appears as a short-lived 2019-era usage rather than a long-running separate line. In Harley-Davidson’s own 2019 service documentation, FLHXSE is identified as the CVO Street Glide, and Harley-Davidson’s 2019 model references still place FLHXSE within the CVO Street Glide family. The broader CVO Street Glide nameplate itself had earlier production runs before 2019, but this exact database nameplate is best treated as a late-2010s variant tied to the 2019 model year. As a CVO machine, it sat at the top of Harley-Davidson’s touring range, emphasizing factory custom paint, premium audio, and a more exclusive trim-and-finish treatment than the standard Street Glide models. It was part of the brand’s strategy of offering limited, high-spec motorcycles that blurred the line between production bike and custom build, aimed at riders who wanted a fully equipped bagger with distinctive showroom-to-street appeal.
