I checked out the illuminated CVO logo on the tank panel of the new SESG3. Very cool and it looks like it's an insert that would fit directly into the 2011 panel. Think the genius's at Harley will allow the 2011 owners to upgrade or will we have to go the eBay/'it must have fallen off a truck' route.
-
I am hoping it will fit on the SESG2. Maybe the LEDs can be changed, would love to put some green ones on my Krypto!!!!!!

They will probably say that you need to upgrade to the 2012 SESG3...
-
You don't understand, the illuminated logo costs $36K. The bike comes attached to it.
-
The black insert is just a piece of plexiglass, painted on the backside, thats glued or adhered to the console. Its on there pretty good too! I'm guessing that You would have to buy the entire console piece and whatever kind of light setup they have behind it all together. I'm hopeing that i can catch one at the dealer before they PDI it and flip one over to check it out.

Please keep us posted if this is possible, I would like to do this mod too. :2vrolijk_21:

Will do

i thought the Ipod cost 36k and the bike comes attached to it......

That's one cool mod I'd like to do……..
-
Was going to look into illuminating tank logo like Softail Convertable.
Adding Chrome mirrors.
Changing chrome fairing trim to the same as Ultra Classic.
No need to now, 2012 SG has it all including new chrome fairing trim.

Me too

Try these. When I get a chance, I'll pull it off and flip it over so you can see the light assembly and stuff

Good pictures, nice and clear.
Can you post some pictures of,
1. Tank side on to shown ghost flames.
2. Front guard side on.
3. Front guard looking from top front

Just spoke to my dealer about the insert and he said that 'probably' it's a restricted part. Anyone can confirm this?

Can you get a part number out of him? As soon as we can get that, it will be easy to order or find out if it's restricted.

Bad news boys
The insert #14100116 $93.33 is restricted! My parts guy said HD imposes a $5,000 fine to the dealer if they are caught selling a restricted part to a non serial number owner. Thats what he said, a line of bull? The counsol and insert each have part numbers its not an assy. Im thinking of removing the insert and shaving/grinding under the medalian then adding leds, it would be great if someone had a picture of the underside of a 2012.

How long before they are on eBay? I'll bet JC is already figuring out where to get one. ::) wanna bet? har. :huepfenlol2: spyder

So I pulled the tank console from my '11 just now. The console has the hole for the light already..it even has the spot for the screw to secure it! The consoles are the same part numbers, it's just the insert that they changed. I put a light behind mine and it does not really shine through....maybe a litte, but probably not as well as the new insert. The light assembly isn't even vin protected. I played dumb and ordered the insert from an online dealer....let's see if they sell it to me. Getting the light later on should be easy.

Good luck. That would be outa-sight if they just sold you one, wouldn't it? :)spyder

I'm kinda hoping that maybe the ordering was automated and the part will just get added to the list and ordered.....then it will come in, match up to my order and they send it to me....of course all the planets will have to be in alignment for this to happen but it was worth a shot.
-
Thanks Mike and Ticitime for doing the leg work on this one. I will let you guys know how i make out up here. :2vrolijk_21:

Is there a power source??

looking at the inside of my 2011 there is wiring already behind the console and i am sure you can pick up a power from it

Or you can pick up a VIN number from a show floor model or, eventually, one for sale on ebay or chopper exchange and order from a dealer that way. This stuff is all doable.

In the past on some items, they would make you turn in the part that you were replacing or else you didn't get the new 'protected' part. Some dealers (like Jenni) didn't require that..... :-X spyder
-
have you seen the price of those parts , its like $120 for the lamp and $93 for the insert, and over here in the u.k we pay about the same in pounds , Expensive

If these are the parts needed that are marked on the list, I have just done an Internet order here in the UK & total cost of parts are £206.00. All part numbers went through to basket & nothing flagged up as being restricted !
-
Getting a mate in the states to get a quote from Harley dealer, so will post up how he gets on :cucumber:

I would think insert will be same as 2011 and the wiring is all there as well only need to get light and plug in.
I may be wrong but just a guess.

i'll follow this post, and will be happy if we can put it on the 2011 :bananarock: :bananarock:

The part number of the insert is different from the 2011 and the 2012. The console is the same.
-
Update from my mate in the states, the fuel tank insert is vin protected & not only do they require the vin number for the bike they also want the original part back before they will hand over the item >:(.
Have not tried to complete order online at UK dealer as I'm sure they will require the same. However the lamp assembly is on back order with no release date, so reckon the moco are already onto this mod for 2011 models.
So back to the drawing board on how to achieve this mod. Any ideas ?
-
find vendor that makes the plastic piece, get custom lettering on the stock blank.

contacted my local dealer and he is trying with my vin number , the original 2011 insert will not let any light through , prices quoted in uk pounds are £110.00 for the insert and £142.00 for the light , bloody expensive that
-
Cost online of all parts from UK dealer is £206.00 so a little cheaper ! Have not tried to order yet though.

I took my 2011 console off, the bottom of the insert is painted black. I sanded with some fine sandpaper, the lettering and logo are under the black paint and seem to be silk screened to the underside of the insert. I think if sanded carefully to expose but not remove the lettering then touch-up (cover) the exposed surrounding background the led light will show through translucent lettering and logo. It will take some time and careful work but it can be done. I have pictures of the sanded bottom side of the insert But for some reason they wont upload. There also is a 12V harness under the console which looks like it would plug into the 2012 light assy. I am off to Sturgis so I will be continuing the quest when I return.

With the 12v harness and a place to screw in the light it seems like Harley wanted to light this up on the 2011 and they abandoned it. :nixweiss:
Wayne, did you try using some kind of a liquid like goo gone or paint remover instead of sand paper?
I will take my console off tomorrow and see if there is any power to the 12v plug/harness.
-
I would be careful about goo gone or some similar type of chemical remover as it might remove ALL of the paint and lettering! Wayne is on the right track i belive. When mine was off getting prepped for paint, the sand blaster didnt realize what the opening on the underside was until it was too late, and removed some of the black paint from the bottom. My painter was able to fix it though so all is well now.
Just a word of caution.

That is the dealer I got my online quote from, but did not want to post it up incase the 'powers that be' stopped them selling it !
-
I didnt use a chemical because at first I didnt know what I would find. I didnt know the logo was on the backside under the black paint. I will be very careful sanding to expose the logo/lettering, i would think it would be hard to control a chemical from taking everything off! I would love to see a picture of a 2012 console underside with the light assy removed anybody with a 2012 willing to do that? Please

Yes Ticitme THANKS

It's pretty clear this was planned seeing the console has the mounting provisions, so apparently, the light or other components were not available in time for the '11's.

I think you give them too much credit. Based on Wayne's observation, it seems they did a stop gap with the overcoated insert, when the light assembly wasn't complete. Either way, the good news is, sounds like a cool upgrade, fwiw.

now I gotta put yet another led lite on . that males 601 plus radio and gauge changeout .. LOL :cucumber: :coolblue:

-
Just an update on my order of the "vin protected" console insert....got an e-mail from the dealer and my order status changed from "processing" to "on order from HD"....got passed the first hurdle....we will see if they actually ship it to me when it comes in. I will worry about ordering the light assembly after I have the insert.
-

It looks like a chrome-ish coating. Hard to get a good photo..... It isn't clear through though. You may be able to just put the light behind the '11 and have it show through
I'm going riding with a guy that has an 11 tonight, I will see if he is willing to let me experiment

I put a light behind mine and it didn't really show through enough. You saw white light, but it didn't look too good.

I am picking my 2011 Krypto up in a couple days and it has the illuminated console. Not sure of the build date yet so it may have been an issue of getting the necessary parts in stock to install.

It's an led and I never thought to see if it lit up red or white. Crap! Guess I will have to pull it apart again.
-
i just went through the parts book and it doesn't say anything about a light there. just to check, I turned 3 three bikes on and NO light.

I'd question who told you that. The '11 softail convertertible had the back lit console, but none of the other CVOs did. If your does have an illuminated console I know we'd all like to see it, and find out how you go it.

This is getting interesting. Ticitme is there some sort of cloth/material diffuser over the led assy? Looks like it.
I will be heading out Thurs 6am for Sturgis. I plan on asking lots of questions to the HD guys about this subject and the Amps, never know what they will say!
Later guys

YES.....There is 12v at the plug once the ignition switch is turned on. :2vrolijk_21:
This is a plug and go mod. I did try rubbing some Goo Gone on the inside of the logo and it really did not remove anything. The paint is on there pretty thick. The flash light would not go threw mine.

I think I remember seeing a plug that was blocked off under the console..is that the plug you are talking about to power the light?

I did verify that on the 2012 sesg there IS a light in the tank panel. the fuses weren't installed the first time I looked. they were still being PDI'd. and yes, they put it on mid year 2011's

The early 2011 guys seem to have reason to complain. Running changes in a model year to correct issues can and should happen. Running changes to add accessory or bling should make those without complain a little.

What is considered "mid year 2011?" I picked up my SESG in late March and I don't have a back lit console.

That doesn't sound like the kind of change one would expect as a running change. Very surprising. I don't remember the power connector being under the dash on yours either. We had that off during the handlebar change.

I got the adjustable rear passenger floorboards on my Kryto. They were from the CVO Ultra. I guess they ran out of pegs when they built mine.

Again, something like that I can understand. Someone on the assembly line just grabbed the wrong part and put on your bike. This would be a new subassembly that would require a conscience action to be implemented.

I will be going to the stealer on Monday. Hopfully i can get one too. Saying that though it looks like the insert is somehow glued onto the console. I could not see any other connection like a screw or clip. It will be interesting to see if the insert can come off without being damaged.

As long as the new one comes with the adhesive on the back to stick on to the console....

Considering how far off center mine is, I would guess they are glued on.

Considering how much of a premium you have to pay to get a CVO they should be perfect. And if not, your dealer should be ordering the replacement parts to make it that way. I know I would not stand for it on a bike I paid over $32,000.00 for. You want to cut corners and quality on a regular Street Glide, fine. But that is just not acceptable on a CVO IMO.

I don't think they should be cutting corners on a regular SG either....it's still $19K
Something as simple as the console trim should have been replaced--either at the factory quality check (HA HA) or at least caught by the dealer at the PDI.
-
Mine was off center also, it is double stick taped on. dealer changed it in about 5 minutes, pulled the other one off, cleaned left over residue, stuck the new one on. Wish I had know about the lighted one back then

I would not accept it on a regular street glide either.....

Well my order is also in BUT i do not think i will get the insert. The light is ok but for the insert they require a Canadian VIN number from a 2012. :-X

OH...OK...mine still says on order from H-D..but I ordered from an online dealer website. They charged my card, I'm still waiting to see if I really get it or will they just refund my card if they figure out it's restricted.

If your dealer is :2vrolijk_21: they will order it for you and just input a VIN number from any 2012 CVO SG. There are a few 2012's already out there in the U.S. so it should not be that hard to get a number.
Over here since not too many make it here and when the do it will probably be October/November and then you got to get a number...ish. From what i understand the Harley parts system will not allow you to proceed with completing the parts order without the number.

"gonna command those parts too...

Well I like many others have been "shot down" today.... My dealer emailed me and said that HD refused to allow them to order the console medallion, which is the "restricted for purchase" part, since I have a 2011 FLHXSE2 and not a 2012 "FLHXSE3" bike......
So I called HD customer service and spent over a 1/2 hour on the phone trying to get them to release the one part that is presently restricted for purchase by those who do not have a 2012 FLHXSE3 bike. I told her that I have heard (in this forum) that many of the later built 2011 bikes have this "feature built in". She of course, followed the HD line that it did not come on my bike, therefore it is restricted to the bikes that came from the factory that way (this of course is true about many parts on those bikes, but I just want the one console part). The customer service person did say that if I could present her with a Vin number from a 2011 FLHXSE2 bike that had the center console illuminated from the factory, that she would take my request to a higher level there at HD and possibly would release that part to me for purchase.....
So there you have it..... any of you out there that has a 2011 FLHXSE2 bike that is illuminated, please step forward .... allow us to show HD that they started to produce 2011 bikes with the feature and maybe they will see fit to let us others have that feature too....
So sad and somewhat pissed in Virginia >:(

Has anyone actually posted a phote of a 2011 with the 2012 part on it from the factory?

I asked a Tech Guy at the HD display in Sturgis about the illuminated console. He smiled and said he knows all about that! His comment was "It was in the plan for 2011 But there was a part supply delay and it was scrapped for 2011." I do remember seeing a discription of the illuminated console on the HD website when I ordered my Krypto in Aug. 2010 but it was later deleted. He also said he wouldnt be suprised if it came out as a kit for a 2011 upgrade. I personally am going to make mine illuminated..... somehow!!

I will try and remember to check tonight. Mine should be under the bed, mixed in with about 9 years of Harley, Dennis Kirk, and Kuryakyn catalogs.
-
Catalog I have only says, "NEW Custom low-profile console and insert with a custom CVO emblem". A picture of the console shows the emblem and it appears to not be lit up. I got the catalog at my dealer a year ago when the 2011's were first coming out.
-
Sorry to get everyone's hopes up, unfortunately upon delivery here in Germany the console is not back lit as the sales rep had said. The dam bike was in front of him when he told me it was. :oops:

Which just comfirms that the guy at the HD tent in Sturgis either didn't know what he was talking about, or was just making $hit up, or both.
Not to worry though, enough folks from this site are on the hunt for a solution that one will be found.

Got it. Been giving this issue deep thought. Have it sorted now.
1) Get a flashlight (small)
2) Get a mirror (small).
3) Remove dash from tank
4) Stick mirror on top of tank
5) Drill big hole in dash below area to be illuminated
6) Hold flashight in teeth while riding and shine through hole in dash to bounce off mirror in to area to be backlit.
Voila. Where's my patent :nixweiss: ?

Sounds like the patent for the new harley liquid cooled v-twin.

So how many 2011 SG did Harley produce ? If there are enough owners out there who are willing to spend the time contacting Harley to make a complaint, surely they will have to do something, particularly as it was them who advertised the 2011 with backlit CVO panel :cucumber:

So, to summarize, there's no documentation anywhere promising this little addition would be there. There's no citation for an '11 actually having it. As has been the case repeatedly with the CVO bikes the light has shown to be an addition of one year over the prior year. But many are kvetching they want it anyway. It's a soap opera; "As the Sprocket Turns."

There is no such advertisement. Complaning to mother Harley about this would be a huge waste of time and effort. No different than complaining that 2011's should get saddlebag lid speakers.

The issues should be combined for efficiency. Voices should be raised, ink spilled and forces massed to get speakers in the dash!
a whole bunch of itty bitty ones!

I'd rather buy engine LED's to light it up with a faint green hue than pay to light up that CVO on the dash.

No, you understood what was being said quite clearly. You do a disservice to yourself and your point (and anyone else unfortunate enough to follow your lead) by arguing that the 2011 SESG should have an illuminated widget based on the fact that Mother Harley said an entirely different bike happened to have a similar widget. Especially when you apparently knew of the distinction to begin with and chose not to mention it. Or, in the immortal words of the great sage Homer (no, not the Homer from The Odyssey, the other one):
-
Was just pointing out that the backlit widget was on the front cover and what page in the book it was listed. was just trying to point out where it was listed in the book. Never ment to imply that it was on the streetglide or should be. It was early in the morning. and when I looked later I saw someone pointed that out did not list the bike it was on. I was trying to debunk the fact they did not have it ready for the street glide but if they had it for the softail and had a picture even on the front cover.

That source is a magazine saying the part is there rather than Harley saying the part is there. For those saying they are going to storm the ramparts at Harley with letters and phone calls demanding (begging, cajoling, whining about, etc etc etc) the part be supplied out of some sense of entitlement or equity you really need to find a source where Harley suggested it would be part of the actual bike you're wanting it for. That the magazine obviously got pre-release information from Harley is irrelevant to the fact that no one has yet offered a citation from Harley itself.
Don't get me wrong. I hope someone does. If you can force Mother Harley to actually give you something more power to you. But all the sound and fury about nothing so far is.... well.....

At least with those, others can see them either when you are going down the road, or the when the bike is parked. This one would only be on when the ignition is on, and only you will see it. I doubt if my BSR would notice it if you put the freaking bat signal under the tank panel.. :huepfenlol2:

As far as what comes on a CVO and what doesn't ,everything the MOCO puts out usually has the fine print that the majority don't read.

"We reserve the right to discontinue models or change specifications at any time without incurring any obligations. Some features and accessories are not available in certain countries......"

Just for grins I tried to order one of these parts through LSHD. Order went in, showed being processed, then about a week later got a message saying it was a VIN protected part and asking for a VIN. So that experiment suffered the same fate as those "experiments" asking new gf's about... Well, never mind, I was younger then. But the part didn't come through. That's the important thing here. Really.

Good thing there is no rush...I still need to order the light assembly for it, but if I ordered both together with my luck I would get the light and not the insert so it would be useless.

That makes sense. Only the one part reports as VIN protected anyway. So if you score it can then buy the light at your leisure. No risk of an unreturnable electrical part that way.

Mike look at my reply #170 on this thread. There is a copy of the 2011 Facts and Figures right from Harley you can download. This is what HD released to the Press to get the word out on the 2011 line up. I also found it in the November 2010 issue Volume 42 Number 11 of HOT BIKE. It clearly says on page 44 " A low profile tank console and insert with back -lit LED CVO emblem". Funny thing is that on the same page they have a close up of the tank console with gas gauge. The gas gauge LED's are lit up....7 dots with gas pump but the emblem is NOT lit up.

So I went armed with this information to my stealer yesterday. I talked with the guy who sold me my bike. I showed him the info. He first said it applies to the U.S. models....NO I said because i know of lots of U.S. models that do not light up. Then he said something about some fine print about the bike not be exactly as shown. I said B-S.....bottom line is I did not get what i paid for as advertised by HD. Then i went on to say i was willing to split the cost in half if we ordered the parts........are you all still laughing..........anyway the guy held a pretty straight face. He said if i wanted anything out of this i would have to take it up with Deeley Canada. He assured me we will order the parts/insert as soon as we get a 2012 VIN......AND YES....I get to pay for it

I tried sanding the black paint off the back of the insert, I guess I wasnt careful enough, I sanded very lightly with fine 480 paper. I removed some of the lettering and the top of the bar and shield. DAMN I will fix the lettering and paint it black until I can figure out another way OR get someone with a 12 to order an insert for me. I will continue the Quest and update when possible.

I know you're all going to say, "easy for you to say, you've already got the lighted CVO emblem", but to be honest, it's just kind of gimicky. You can't, along with the gas gauge, see it during the day in sunlight, unless you put your hand around it to shade it. Unless you do a lot of night riding, or sitting in your garage oogling it, you won't see it. :nixweiss: Not sure it's worth the money to upgrade an '11 to do it. (And no, I won't swap out with anyone... :P) JMO.

I know you're all going to say, "easy for you to say, you've already got the lighted CVO emblem", but to be honest, it's just kind of gimicky. You can't, along with the gas gauge, see it during the day in sunlight, unless you put your hand around it to shade it. Unless you do a lot of night riding, or sitting in your garage oogling it, you won't see it. :nixweiss: Not sure it's worth the money to upgrade an '11 to do it. (And no, I won't swap out with anyone... :P) JMO.

...and, Charlie, think of how much more efficient will be your charging system, how much fuel you'll save not loading the charging system to power that extra LED and, thereby, how much longer you're each forestalling Global Warming by not having that LED in the dash. Those of you without it should be heralded as heroes for helping to save the planet! :2vrolijk_21:

I know its a expensive minor modification that only I will get enjoyment from but its like a nagging thorn in my ass! I will get it done with green LEDs! Then I will turn on the ign drag the girlfriend into the dark garage she will say "OH THATS COOL" effectively pulling the thorn out!! Then maybe cams and head work!

My friend bought a 2012 this weekend. I mentioned how much I wanted the illuminated logo and explained you couldn't buy it unless you have a 2012. He said he would buy me one if I wanted it. Can he do that or does he have to turn his current lamp in to buy a new one?

He could give you his old one, claim his was stolen by some crazy non CVO road glider
that he saw riding off into the sunset waiving his dash and yelling Hi-Ho Silver Away!
and therefore he needs a new one and there's none to swap...

Yes he can and no he does not have to turn in the old one if he is buying it out right.

Went to the dealership to talk about my amp situation and went by the parts counter to pick up what has come in. The light and screws. The insert should be here in a week or so. :huepfenjump3:. Once i heard that i paid for the whole bill.
The break down was. $282.97 CAN. I hated paying for it especially since the 2011's where suppose to come with this mod but i think it is a must mod for me. Once i see it light up i will be fine....lol.

I have read about everyone wanting to light up their CVO emblem and I thought, "really that seems like such a non-issue" but that was before I saw mine lit up at night for the first time. It is so freak'in awesome! Good luck with your mod's guys, cause it is well worth your efforts. :idea2: :idea2:

Looking forward to my CVO Logo lighting up in a month.
It's like watching life in slo-mo at the moment.

Just got a shipping confirmation for my insert, it has been on backorder for a while now...but will be here on Wednesday.
I ordered a chrome dash to mount it in, thought I would change up the tank on my '11, but now I'm thinking I will need to change my gas gauge & cap to match the dash I ordered if I go that route. I may not get anything mounted until winter now, but I thought I would let anyone knows that is following this thread that it can be done. I've got an '11 and was able to purchase the insert for the '12, but I did have to provide a VIN # from a 2012, but that's not too hard...
-
Insert showed up, can't wait to get this swapped out & see what it looks like.
Back side has some chrome paint sprayed over the wording, looks chrome from the front, but is somewhat translucent.

Installed and looks great. I took some pics which i will post soon. :2vrolijk_21:
-
Old Insert.
-
Back side of old insert.
-
To get the insert to come off with out breaking or cracking it i gently pushed from the back. Remember to go very slow to give the adhesive time to detach itself from the console.
-
And the same from the bottom hole.
-
Putting my fingers under the front of the insert. If not it will drop back down and stick to the console.
While i did have my fingers under the front i very slowly moved left to right while i lifted. There is some flex but be patant and it will slowly detach itself in one piece.
After getting a good look at the new one i do not think i will ever install it back on the bike but i did put it in the box and saved it. I am just saying this in case you break the insert taking it off.
-
The new next to the old.
Back
-
Front.
-
New on the old in the light. Notice the tiny light peeping threw on the old. That was when the tip of the Allen key scratched the paint off.
-
What i used to clean the console before installing the insert.
You must clean it well if you want the adhesive to bond with the console. Do not take a short cut on this. You just paid big bucks for the insert. Do it right.
-
The light and screws.
-
The light.
-
The connecting plug for the light which is under the console on top of the tank next to the fuel lines.
-
Remove the fake plug cap which was installed to keep the water and moister out. The plug already has voltage going to it once you turn on the ignition. It works with the gauges lights.
-
The light on.
-
Another. Notice the separate LED's. Yes it is bright.
-
It is the same red as the gauges. :2vrolijk_21:
-
Light installed-inside.
-
Light installed- inside of console.
-
Old next to the new. Installed.
-
When installing the insert to the console i started from the bent part. I made sure that the crease or bend was in the same bend as the console before i came down very slowly with the long part of the insert. Make sure you do go slow to make sure you are coming down straight.
I also had the heater on next to the bench just to keep everything warm and flexable. It was cold up here last night. ::)

Finally. :bananarock:

I have one on order, have had since end of August... looks like it will be in this week... But from what you guys are saying they won't actually ship it to me as I don't have a 2012 VIN - Long wait to end up not getting it. Kind of surprised they ordered it and charged me for back then just to find they won't ship. They sent all of the other parts a month or so ago.

Maybe we should start a thread of VIN numbers from 2012's we see on the show floor or on ebay or Cjhopper exchange. Then guys could utilize those to get this mod.

I'm using a vin that somebody else used to order this part.....that's why I am hoping to get it...I hope the MoCo does not track by duplicate parts/vin. If it works, then you have a valid idea...if not, then posting won't help since once it's used you would not be able to use it again.

You may be out of luck MJ. I've had orders denied for the SEEG and the SERG for emblems that were ordered within a year of each other. Jenni, when she was at Tri-County, told me that duplicate orders within a year on the same VIN nearly always got flagged. I had it happen on two separate occasions.

Just got done with the installation. It looks super good!! It took about 2 hrs., the longest part was getting to sticky residue off the console left from the old medallion.

Yeah....right......just thinking positive

Mano, I have been away from the forum for a bit. The console looks great! Might think of doing that over the winter. Guy at my local dealer used a different VIN for that rear fender emblem from the Road Glide so he will probably help me out here too. I've got a few things to do over the winter, rear floorboards for the wife, rear LED light to go with my LED's on the spoilers and tour pak, GPS install and that should do it. Didn't get to ride with you this year but am hoping we can hook up next year. :pumpkin:

Sounds good. Can't wait to see your tour pak. That might be something i might want to do too. As for the insert remember you need a 2012 Canadian VIN number.

As far as I know the light is red...haven't plugged mine in yet, but when you hold a flashlight behind the insert it shows up white, so that would mean the light must be red.

When I said early that an International VIN was needed it is because i tried to get the insert with a U.S. VIN. and it would not go threw. Once i got a International/Canadian VIN the order went threw. Also you cannot use the same VIN for the same part. So I am told. :nixweiss:

Follow back on this thread. I posted pictures and a quick run down on the install. Very easy.
The red CVO light blends in with the rest of the instrument and LED gas lights. It rounds it out.

I googled mine.

It will be interesting to see how many inserts are put through with the same Vin number :huepfenlol2:

Makes a joke of the whole VIN protected thing, surely they would have the sense to have some way of checking VINs that are used to order, but then that is common sense really :cucumber:

I read a while back that they were keeping track of the parts ordered per vin, but I ordered my dash insert a few weeks after someone used the same vin to order one...and I got mine with no questions asked once I provided the 2012 vin.....now I wonder if they are still keeping records or maybe random checks :nixweiss:

I just went to the dealer with a 2012 VIN and they placed the order with no problem. He did say they may want the old one back. We'll see what happens.

That was one reason I ordered over the internet. Didn't want that question brought up.
-
They asked for a old one back. I said it was on the side of the highway where I crashed. So then they wanted a letter saying it was unrecoverable. No big deal. I can make a letter up
-
I am not quite sure why there are protected parts :nixweiss: a CVO is a CVO by VIN number anyway, and if someone was to purchase an Illuminated CVO Logo and install it on their motorcycle it doesn't change the model, vin or year of that bike. All Moco is doing is jacking the price up on *Restricted Parts* however, as we see here obtaining the parts is not that difficult. jmo
BTW Happy New Year!!!

Finally received the console insert :bananarock: :bananarock: :bananarock:
Now that it's in my hands I just ordered the light----that should be easy since it's not vin protected.

Thanks ....

What I don't like is that the 2011's were suppost to come with this illuminated console. So we had to pay for it twice. >:(

Just got email from dealer in channel islands, tank console has arrived from US :cucumber:
so it is on its way to my doorstep, should only be another couple of days :cucumber: Cheers guys.

Talked to my dealer today. They said getting the part doesn't look like a problem but it's backordered until Feb 2. I may have to sign something that says the original was not available.

Ordered the insert and a week later got an e-mail wanting the old insert. I told them it was not available to send so waiting on their reply.

I had to jump through hoops to get mine and at the end not once did they ask for the old one back. :nixweiss:

So give them your old one. Want to bet the parts counter guy won't know the difference and will just take one part for the other? What's the worst that can happen? You keep the part you've already got....
-
Being that I live in Korea kind of hard to hand it over. Man what a pain just to keep up with the Jones.

You'd need a heluva ramp for the jump.

Not ready for that jump. Maintaining bikes thru the internet can be painful. Especially in this case with the insert. Just can't get over that us '11 SESG owners just want to light up the bike some more with an existing connection that came from the factory for this item and the MOCO is making it hard. I mean it ain't like they will be losing money by releasing this item.

Received console & light yesterday, but bike is at dealers with fairing & lowers off waiting to be painted, so dropped off parts so they can fit them whilst it is all apart, have to say there is hell of a lot of wires & connectors behind the batwing ! Will post up pics when all back together :cucumber:

Think I will try to get this done on mine this year....have the Orange/Black 2011 SESG and cannot stand it any longer. Can someone post ALL the correct part numbers that are needed to complete this modofication? I know I will have to get a 2012 VIN number, but want to be sure on what I am ordering because my dealer is a little "iffy" in getting things right. Also, how hard is it removing the console...have never done this before? Thanks, Gene

All the info is in reply 22 of this thread
part numbers 14100116 & 68000034
Console comes off with 2 bolts--remove the seat and take off the lower console bolt, and the other one is a small one in the front. You can see it looking down from above, just below the ignition switch.

I purchased online the console using a SG '12 VIN from ebay. I received last week. The dealer called me yesterday inquiring about the bike because another person wanted to buy another one using the same VIN.....maybe is a guy from this site!!
Anyway I told the lady that I was selling the bike and that guy was interested.....I didn't know what else to say.. :nixweiss:

Just put an order in online. I did a search with the part numbers and both parts pulled up. Added them to my cart and checked out. We'll see if I actually get the parts.

I was told by my dealer the part is available with out vin protection.

I was told by my dealer the part is available with out vin protection.
He is wrong...but if he will sell it to you without a VIN that would be very nice of him....
If you look on reply #22 of this thread you will see a copy of the parts book showing the part as "Restricted Sale Part" which means you need a vin from a 2012 SESG to order it.
-
I asked my dealer the other day and the part is restricted. I spent almost $3000 that day and didn't get anywhere. ::)

:2vrolijk_21: :2vrolijk_21: :2vrolijk_21:

I'll just wait and see if they release the part in the future. :(

Received mine using a '12 VIN. They initially wanted the old part back. I told them that I had stepped on it and threw it away so wasn't available to send back.

I found out how 'Restricted' restricted means with a recent acquisition, it means having a valid VIN, not necessarily yours, for the part you're buying. Beyond that, piece of cake. ;)

I didn't need a vin. Becky(parts) just punched in the the part # and placed the order. A week later it was sitting on my work bench.

As long as you provided a 2012 SESG VIN you will be good..if you gave them the vin from your '11 it won't work (at least it shouldn't)

It doesnt need to be a '12 FLHXSE, it can also be a '12 FLTRXSE
Both use the same illuminated insert.

:nixweiss:
The black insert is just a piece of plexiglass, painted on the backside, thats glued or adhered to the console. Its on there pretty good too! I'm guessing that You would have to buy the entire console piece and whatever kind of light setup they have behind it all together. I'm hopeing that i can catch one at the dealer before they PDI it and flip one over to check it out.
:nixweiss: they wouldnt have them off to do the pdi, they come assembled from the factory... :nixweiss:

I just installed it on my bike and they are all the same due to the fact that all the LED Lights are just mounted to the top of the plug fixture (a round disk) and when lit, it illuminates the rest of the circle. All of the LEDs end up being on the left side of the emblem. The light is held in place by two screws and is position specific meaning you can only install it one way, thus the left is always going to be brighter than the right just by the design of it.
-
Wow, crazy to see so many comments about this particular assembly. Crazier to read about the lengths people went through to get their bikes "upgraded" from the painted version to the lit version. Let me tell you all, this particular assembly--every last bit of it--was the most challenging project ever to go through the company that I worked at. If something could go wrong, it did. Hell, I'm fairly convinced it helped push one man closer to the heart attack that ultimately killed him.

Most likely already posted, but just in case... Got the part numbers from the 2012 CVO Parts Catalog

9) Drain hose - 69241-08
14) Insert Console - 14100116

Unfortunately we're out of luck on this one Dennis - we still have the center-fill gas tanks. This console/mod only works with the 11/12 FLHXSE and 12/13 FLTRXSE since they have the right side fuel-filler and left side gas gauge.
It's too bad - it's a cool piece and looks great.
