Topic: Cancelled CVO orders! Wtf! (Read 9320 times)

Wild Hog 4 · « **on:** April 14, 2015, 07:06:08 PM »

Latest news here in UK is that Cvo orders are being cancelled and not forfilled,
At least 4 dealers I know have been told because of paint issues in general (and that's with all the colours by the way) there is now such a delay that the orders they placed last August in whichever colours will not be forfilled, instead they will be getting the new Carbon dust colour "like it or not".....that's pretty sh*tty if you ask me!

Now if yours is in production as we speak,or if it's in warehouse or already shipped you are in luck I believe, as they will be honoured, that's the latest news this side of the pond anyway can't see it being any different in the US or maybe it is?
I was lucky mine just scraped through and landed last week and I hope to pick her up in a couple weeks, paint looks perfect to me,( then I deserve a bit of luck from the year I've had!)
On another note I don't know any ultra violet blue Cvo's that ever arrived in UK, if you have one I think you are the only one!
What the news your end in the US?

I'm sure there will be a few disappointed folks for sure! I've been waiting on a Hard Candy since September. I know my dealer officially ordered one and the arrival date keeps getting pushed up. I inquired just last Friday and they told me its due sometime in May. My dealer has yet to receive a Hard Candy or an Ultra Violet color, one yellow and one or two black and gold that I know of.

I have seen the Hard Candy color a lot for sale within the last week or two on cycle trader and chopper exchange along with the Carbon Crystal color.

Going to swing by the dealer on Saturday to see if there is an update?

If you are willing to go out of state I'm sure you could find one.......I only went 80 miles.

Find out if they have a Vin number yet, no vin no guarantee that a bike is coming.

skycat, have you been informed of the issues? if I were you I would ask for the vin number as soon as the dealer has it.
Dealer should easily get this info for you once order has been confirmed.
Hope all goes well for you cheers.

Trivett Harley.. I think you purchased yours from the same dealer, my sales guy is John also an old school mate, if anyone can do something he can. Fingers crossed..
I had a look on bike sales today there a about five 2015 SG CVO in most colours for sale, i think its just the dealers selling stock before it arrives.
I really do hope Harley don't kill the Hard Candy

Nicky Pass · « **Reply #9 on:** April 15, 2015, 05:34:38 AM »

When I bought mine in December, the guy that originally ordered it backed out an I happened to be the first guy to have a chance at it. There was a dozen guys that wanted it and I know that ONE guy officially got an order for a HC Merc after I got the one the guy bailed one. When I dropped my bike off, the sales manager asked me if it was okay to call the guy so he can actually see one in person because it was supposed in March...then got pushed to mid April...an now they say mid May. I'm not sure what's going on, but I'm glad I got mine!

Ahhh ok cool. Yes I hold John in high regard. Good one.
Lloyd did my deal.
I hope yours comes through. If you want to see mine (in case you've not seen one in person yet), I'm happy to meet you there for a free coffee one day. I rode to and from work today, taking advantage of the good weather. Man, I felt like the king of the world! Awesome motorcycle to ride. I'm actually starting to feel self conscious from all the looks the bike gets. There's nothing like it.

That would be great to catch up as i have not yet seen the HC in person, as you know there's not many in Australia. Funny thing is i asked John to give me a call if your bike turned up at the dealership. I am about 40min from the shop any week day is OK and most weekends are fine call me if you feel like a coffee. 0415822470 or work 96483366 and just ask for Peter
I saw a pic of you picking up the bike on the Trivett Facebook page.

MightyTharg · « **Reply #12 on:** April 15, 2015, 07:47:16 AM »

Allegedly my Hard Candy Mercury Street Glide has reached the European depot,.. so just needs to be released and shipped to the UK.

Although I put a deposit down on one that was already allocated to the dealer and scheduled for build, H-D called him up to tell him they were going to replace it with another colour but he did some horse trading with other another dealer and swapped another bike for mine. So it's all worked out ok (hopefully!)

Consider it done Peter. Next rainless day I'll go there for a ride. Probably next week at this stage.

Hey Wild Hog congrats on getting one!! What color did you end up with?

"The million dollar question"!
I went for the Hard Candy Mercury in the end buddy , strange as this was my original choice when they were first released but never saw one in the flesh, then I went to states last year and fell in love with the blue one I saw in Naples Florida , changed my deposit to the blue one for (which was meant to land in April !), then last week the hard candy arrived at my dealer but another guy had his deposit on it!, man that colour just totally blew me away , never seen anything like it ever from Harley and I just had to have it,funny as the guy with the deposit then backed out after seeing it and so she was mine!!,
Strangely enough the dealer where I had the blue one on order told me yesterday it's cancelled and not coming (see my previous post).. Funny really how things work out !I suppose it was always meant to be ! Really over the moon with my choice, but the blue certainly is awesome too !

jpswino · « **Reply #15 on:** April 15, 2015, 01:04:48 PM »

There is an Ultra Violet in my area for sale. If anyone is willing to come get it. New on the showroom floor, or it was not that long ago.

Awesome. You just cannot describe the impact of the HC with words or photos alone. It's one of those things that has to be seen. Congratulations on your new bike - it was meant to be.

Hey I'm happy for you! You know I went through the same thing and had a hard time making up my mind. Not much being said about it, but the bikes really ride and track great in the corners and all. You are going to love it! Cheers.

Thanks guys for your comments,

I am having my power duals and hi outputs switched over from my Roady king , the noise is just right albeit a bit loud( hope I can hear stereo over it!) and heated grips fitted also, once you've been spoiled with heated grips you don't go back, on my road king they are only turned to setting 11/2 and it just takes the chill out the bars on those fresh early morning rides..... Crikey I can't wait now to pick her up !!

Actually I am looking at getting a Jeep Wrangler for most of my local adventures and will use my GSA for cross country travel. The lady will not ride on a bike anymore so the CVO sits in the man cave...rather a shame, but life styles change. Great bike which deserves to be ridden more than it is. Thanks for the replies.

Best of luck in your future endeavors. I understand. My wife LOVES to ride. Until that changes, it's 2 wheels! But I could see a 2 seater convertible someday!

Or....keep it and buy the Jeep. The Jeep would be for the two of you, and the bike is for you. We all need to escape....alone!
