Who found the news that Harley’s making a CVO Pan America?

Dennis Chung is the brilliant bloke to have found the CARB filings; in his coverage on Motorcycle.com, Chung specifies details of the Executive Order: 

The certification lists the Pan America 1250 Special, which has already been announced, along with the base model Pan America 1250, which has been announced for other markets (but not the U.S.), as well as a new CVO Pan America.”

What to expect for the CVO Pan America’s debut

Weight is expected to be a bit heavier; EIM rankings are averaged to within 22 lbs, and are sitting at 360kg (794lbs). 

Expect further news on weight of accompanying cases (and a new livery color) around January 24th, when Harley will be revealing their MY2024 lineup.
