Best Upgrades for a 2024 CVO Road Glide ST
Ask five people what to put on a 2024 CVO Road Glide ST first and you'll get five different answers, mostly guesses. Here's ours, and it isn't a guess. Every part below is verified to fit this exact bike.
The Touring family is built for the miles that actually add up: full fairings, real storage, and a chassis tuned for hours in the saddle, not just the ride to the coffee shop. Street Glide's handlebar-mounted batwing fairing gives it its signature silhouette; Road Glide's frame-mounted sharknose does the same job with a steadier feel at highway speed. Together they're Harley's best-selling family by a wide margin. Most Harley riders on the highway are riding one of these two.
