if I remember correctly it is to be mirage orange or something with titanium dust, my local dealer are getting one, they have no idea what it looks like as Harley have not released pictures yet anywhere, probably will be limited numbers at a higher price I suspect!
Any guys out there hear this also?
Maybe that's why they stopped production of the yellow Cvo to make way for this colour!
One things for certain it will be another colour for them to deal with regarding paint quality issues :D
Just remember you heard it here first!! :2vrolijk_21:

The Mirage Orange Pearl on the '09 RGs was one of the BEST colors to have ever graced a Harley... even though it has never been used on a CVO.

My dealer is not usually wrong as he has strong connections with the Harley UK head office for Europe, I suspect a lot of dealers would not want to jeopardise pre orders with customers by mentioning this to them,.
But looks like it should be a Terrific combo, it's certainly to be an orange of some kind with black/ grey titanium dust........ Thought this news would get a lot of us salivating!!!

Not announced at the winter dealer's meeting (which ended today) usually means ain't going to happen. Straight from an insiders mouth. Unless he wasn't paying attention during that part.
Yes he must have been asleep! Whatever!
All I know is what I saw on the order form in black and white! not what someone told me at a dealer meeting, Did this dealer meeting announce previously about ceasing production of the yellow Cvo, did it mention a few years ago about pulling the plug on the breakout Cvo when many people had orders confirmed ? I think not,,, my point being a multi million dollar company can do what they bl@@dy please ,when they please and usually do...
Only time will tell on this one , let us see.

Don't worry if any pictures are realesed I will send them over ,together with a fat slice of humble pie..... Just trying to be helpfull on this post of what I saw... Jeeeez :'(

I'm wondering if they do it if they will just reverse the Ultra Violet/Hot Lava paint scheme.....
If so the Hot Lava will look like a orange version of the silver Hard Candy

yeah i feel your hurt! .....you may have to go "cold turkey" and keep away for a bit,probably best then i don't mention then the dealer that is getting one!. :2vrolijk_21:
on another note bav i think the orange and black will be a very close match to our cvo road kings, maybe the orange though will have a wee bit more metalflake in it,
however i wouldn't be surprised to see a higher price tag on this one seeing as it may have a limited number produced.

Just got back from the Vancouver motorcycle show, and talked to the Harley crew about this. They said they just got back from the New Orleans dealer show, and there was NO mention of a mid year model. :nixweiss:]
That could be a very True statement: (since it is not a model change but merely a paint change just like 10.5 and 11.5)

I had a deposit on the Orange for 2015 and it was just refunded, as they the dealer were told they (Mother Harley) would not be delivering one for 2015. The dealer now believes they let the cat out of the bag for a 2016.
:nixweiss: :nixweiss:
Hmmmm interesting!
Just have to wait and see as my dealer has one coming in for around May delivery, he has a buyer all lined up for it as well...... Time will tell but frustrating I know ::)

Ha Ha you can all say what you want, I am no way giving up my Hard Candy - May order. I herd that there is no Street Glide CVO for 2016 :) Makes my bike worth more. I have already had an offer by a dealer to purchase my order even before it arrives. Never assume that 2016 has something better, Ha we have all been down that road and waited in anticipation then to be let down.I agree skycat, get the one you like. If you really like the 2015 why wait. I will wait for the 2016's for a couple of reasons, mainly paint schemes and maybe bigger motor. That's just me. Oh...yea, there is going to be a CVO SG for 2016.

Maybe,... but it seems i'd be the right side of "the pond", if i wanted this orange mid year CVO colour that you guys {bar a few}are pretty sure that your not getting:D :D :D.
However be honest Kingdong no one in the US got any 2015 Cvo's in july last year!, especially as they wern't released till late August!, :huepfenlol2:
yes you Guys were lucky to have received them around september time, us guys in uk have to wait a bit longer until harley get there F**king act together!
but i shouldn't hold your breath on the 120r engine being introduced in 2016, if history has taught us anything then i would say that harley will introduce this engine in 2017/2018 with possibly a full liquid cooled system and upgrade the standard non cvo's bikes to the 110 engine. ,they have given us the Rushmore bits and hope that will keep us all quiet for a bit, i don't think they will play there "Trump" card until they really have to, yes Victory have there 112cu engine... big whoop! have you seen the resale value on those ugly things?. :P

How was that done? E-mail, verbally to you?
Wild Hog 4,
Waiting is part of the CVO process...... well, at least for this CVO SG selling season. Plenty of folks waiting and waiting. I've been waiting for five months and it looks like another one or two may pass before I see mine. I have noticed a few dealers have the black CVO SG sitting on their showroom floor, for those looking for a black CVO SG..... they are out there.

Was it Brandon HD? I just briefly mentioned it to Fletch the SM and he didn't respond.
I was at my local dealer today and he was checking on something else for me and ran across an email from the MOCO that said there is a new color coming for the 2015 FLHXSE and he in fact has one due to be delivered within this period.

Yeah i'm well aware buddy, i've done my share of waiting i can say, i waited 6 months for my CVO limited to arrive!!, i was just stating that models launches are not in May and no one gets them in July thats all, we all are waiting as you say whichever side of the pond you are!!
But interestingly a couple of dealers are saying that this years launch {for the 2016's} is possibly going to be in october! don't know if thats true thats just what they have said,
maybe its to give Harley an extra month to finish production,and gives the dealers extra time to shift old stock and customers a month less to wait {he wishes!}, they seem to push launch dates back later and later every year as i could've sworn that the 2010 model year was launched in around July time....

the new bike is real. they are only building 750 units, so i have heard. I also heard (please don't kill messenger) that due to all the paint issues that MoCo is no longer building anymore of the SG CVO's for this year, other than this black one. I have heard this from a reputable dealer but i have no way of confirming beyond that. I am sending an email to a contact I have in Milwaukee to see if I can get any more info.
Had a feeling this mite happen. :'(

I have the same color you have. I don't remember if you were one of the many that had paint issues. Anyway, mine is fine with one exception being the clear is unbelievably soft. Just wondered if yours is the same and if you have washed it enough to know yet. Thanks for the info.

Just went down local dealer today , was told Harley are to launch a new mid year colour for the 2015 CVO street glide..... That's right boys and girls!
if I remember correctly it is to be mirage orange or something with titanium dust, my local dealer are getting one, they have no idea what it looks like as Harley have not released pictures yet anywhere, probably will be limited numbers at a higher price I suspect!
Any guys out there hear this also?

So it looks like you were right Wild Hog. The last laugh is on all the nay sayers.
I've seen it go both ways for the CVOs in the past......some rumors prove to be true but many fall flat on their face. I just take the "wait and see" attitude instead of posting without knowing. :nixweiss:

I have only washed a couple of times so I can not comment on the clear coat. I did have a number of paint issues. Lower fairing had silver showing where orange should be, saddle bag lid had silver spot, fairing had dull spot (dealer was able to buff out). I also have a big gap between outer and inner fairing.
I have also heard that the Hard Candy has 9 coats of clear and that a number of folks have cracking issues specifically around where screws/bolts are.

I talked to our lead painter; he said he would recommend a finishing glaze (he specifically mentioned the Meguiar’s brand) and a high-end wax. Use a microfiber cloth like you have been, but don’t press hard, just give the bike a light wipe. He said the weather won’t really change the cure time, but although it’s safe to use wax after 90-days, the clear will continue to harden some for up to one year. We use PPG DCU 5200, if you were to re-clear your parts, PPG’s DCU 4000 would be a harder clear option.
Thanks,

Subject: Re: Paint Inquiry - Clear Coat Curing/Care
Hi Shauna,
Thanks for the prompt reply and advise. It is much appreciated. I understand that the custom paint and clear will require special care compared to factory paint. That is just reality.
I am trying to find out how to best do that and really appreciate your advise. If I could ask a couple follow up questions please. Is there a sealant that you could recommend such as Opti-Coat or other that could improve scratch resistance? I figure my paint is approximately 120 days curing time at this point. I live in Washington and we have had no sun to speak of, or warm weather. My garage is not heated, but is insulated. Is it possible that under these circumstances the standard cure time of 90 days may require even more than the current 120 days? I am just hoping it will get harder.
Please forgive me if I seem like a pain. The paint and quality is beautiful and outstanding. I plan to ride the hell out of the bike like I do all my bikes and want to spend more time doing that rather than polishing it with a DA buffer. I just want to do whatever I can to make that happen. Depending upon your suggestions to the previous questions (and in a worst case scenario) is it feasible to spray a different clear that is harder on top of this clear? Obviously I don't want to do this, but if I have to I will. If so, what would be the suggested compatible clear to do so?
Many Thanks Shauna! I just feel like if I even look at the bike wrong is scratches. It really is soft right now. I am not kidding!

Hi Howard,
Those swirl marks are inevitable. Although, you are correct that they are easier to obtain when the clear cost is fresh, they will continue to occur anytime contact is made with the clear. You’ll want to use a microfiber cloth, but you should make sure it’s lubricated; Harley sells a line of their own cleaning products, we also recommend S100 cleaners. You should also make sure your bike is completely rinsed before wiping it down to avoid dragging dust particles that scratch the clear. You can have the bike detailed throughout its life to minimize the swirl marks as much as possible.
Regarding curing time, this is the statement we give with our custom paint jobs: Curing period is up to 90 days on your new paint. During this time you should try to keep the vehicle free of tree sap, bird droppings, or anything that may stain the paint. Droplets of water combined with the bright sun can act like a magnifying glass to burn little spots in the paint and should be removed with a soft cloth after a rain. Finally, for six-weeks during this curing period, do not use any wax.
Thanks,

Looks to me like a leftover 2012 FLHXSE3 tank on an otherwise totally black bike. I sense desperation on the Moco's part if this crap is true.
That thing doesn't even LOOK like an SESG... :smilie_daumenneg:
Ken
Completely agree Ken! CVO bikes should stand out not blend in! Those with black controls are disappointing. They all leak and the finish ends up destroyed. For premium money they should use chrome or black chrome...

I have ridden in rain a couple of times and washed the bike once. Dried it with a Harley heated air blower and microfibre cloth. I can confirm that I now have microscratches on the clear on the tank and on the bag lids. The clear is VERY SOFT.
I was hoping this bike might be a keeper. But whilst it rides exceptionally well, I know it will look like a POS after a couple of years. Definitely not a long term proposition. Stay away from these Gunslinger-painted CVOs this year. Not worth the money IMHO.
Disclaimer: Some here will argure that theirs is perfect and I am whining. Fair call. But my experience is honest and real, and it has p155ed me off big time after dropping $50,000 AUD on an imperfect motorcycle.

I had my batwing fairing replaced yesterday. It arrived after being ordered several weeks ago because my original part had paint flaws (listed elsewhere in a thread). My rear fender also has asymmetrical flames (caused by inexpertly-applied pinstriping), but that was not deemed to be a flaw and was not replaced.

I know your bike, purchased from Trivett. Sorry you are not really happy with the bike, i am also a fussy old bugger and want a keeper your information may help me make a call thank you for your honesty. I am over trying to get what i pay for and being let down.
Post by: HighOnHD on February 26, 2015, 10:38:21 PM
The clear REALLY is ridiculously soft. Me and a buddy rode our bikes to the dealer so that I could get the 1K service done, and then ride the coast after. I told them I love everything about the bike, but the clear is unbelievably soft. I said, "because of that DO NOT WASH IT!" I had just spent another weekend polishing it out with a DA polisher and doing the whole Glare recommended routine. Well maybe they did not wash it, but if you even breath on this thing it scratches like a spider web everywhere. They wiped it down because it had the micro-spiderweb scratches everywhere AGAIN.
Unfortunately, I absolutely dig this bike in every way, the color, the flames, the ride, the whole package. I'm not getting rid of it. I'm adding the Fulsac stainless DX pipe and TTS tomorrow, and riding the hell out of it this weekend. If it is not raining, we ride here. Sometimes even if it is.

So it looks like you were right Wild Hog. The last laugh is on all the nay sayers.
I've seen it go both ways for the CVOs in the past......some rumors prove to be true but many fall flat on their face. I just take the "wait and see" attitude instead of posting without knowing. :nixweiss:
Nah,nah nah nah nah !:D. Told you so .....or maybe it's still "photoshopped" humble pie anyone?
Guess you knew this was coming from me eventually :mango:
No but seriously guys I only posted this "rumour" about new colour because I saw the actual email from HD head office for Europe,and a confirmed delivery date....... I am a strong believer in seeing is believing!..... Now had he had just verbally said it, then yes I would have taken it with a large pinch of salt! And not posted anything (I wouldn't want to get people's hopes up,or dash their dreams either)Too much hearsay sometimes like you say..... :2vrolijk_21:

All Phase four bikes will be delivered May / June for Australia, this is the last run of the Gunslinger bikes being built now, the Phase five bike the back bike is June / July for Australia.
Looks like we will get the bike we ordered, i am happy again for the moment :) with all this paint trouble i would hope the Phase four bikes will be perfect. ::)

This new bike doesn't stand out from the crowd as a CVO should. It's a feeble attempt be harley to band aid the real problem. I'm sure the MOCO has enough money to dedicate to making the CVOs in house where they can check things before they go out to the customer.....

If you can expand the tank picture it sure looks like the graphics on your 2012. I used to have a black 2012 CVO Street Glide before my 2015.
Maybe the mother ship has some leftover inventory.
If I see or hear anything while I am in Daytona I'll let you guys know. We are staying right next to Daytona Harley.
The Harley Demo truck will be at the Daytona Speedway with some of the execs.

I feel ignorant for asking, but here goes: What models and years are Gunslinger paint? My 2014 CVO Road King looks great.Gunslinger paints the majority of the CVO's for The Motor Company. I've NEVER had a bad paint job on a CVO. I truly believe that most CVO owners shouldn't buy CVO's, they should buy a standard bike and have the dealership or another entity customize their bike. They're always complaining about everything yet they still keep going back and buying another CVO. My friend has the blue CVO Breakout and all he does is bitch, bitch, bitch about every little thing and I just laugh at him. I told him the same thing, sell it or trade it in, buy a stock Breakout and get it done your way. I for one have always felt privileged to own every one of my CVO's and have never gotten anything but compliments on every aspect of my CVO's. If anyone ever walked up to me and picked my bike apart I'd just figure that it was some asshole who was either just that or jealous. I'll climb down off my soap box now. Not trying to stir up a bunch of hate mail but...

For example, I had never heard of Dragos Bike Works, or Fullsac before getting on here. I'm on my first CVO and I love it. I've gone over every bike I've ever owned with a fine toothed comb. I check them out in the sun, in the shade, and with bright flash lights, and I haven't found anything to complain about on my bike. I did find some things on my 2010 Heritage, and a Honda VTX I had about twelve years back. Anyway, I'm glad I'm not alone in loving my CVO and Harleys in general.

agree. love my cvo. granted, I have made many changes, but that was my choice...to personalize and make it mine. but honestly, the cvo is a good deal. you can't build it for what you can buy it for...That's true. I know a bunch of guys with Street Glide Specials. They have more $$$ into them, including purchase price, than I have in my CVORK (I didn't pay list). What they have is a little more than 100 hp compared to my 97.5, and somewhere around 105 lbs/ft compared to my 118. Aside from that, their bikes blend in with all the other Street Glides in the lot. Don't get me wrong, they're beautiful bikes and had I not gotten the CVORK I'd probably be one of the guys trying to find his Street Glide, hoping he's not sitting on some other dude's bike.

WOW... Thank you Skullplant, Puma, cyco1450, SDCVO, dean 77 and Nicky Pass! I really thought folks would light me up for loving and defending the CVO's. Skullplant, I got to see that SESG in yellow and black last weekend in person and that is a stunning ride. Puma, I'm glad to hear you enjoy your SERK. Great color combo too! cyco1450, thank you and how can you not like an orange and black HD. SDCVO, love those SERGC's! dean 77, I was very tempted to trade my bike for the SESG in Hard Candy this year but since that color and the yellow and black were so difficult to get, I didn't have the chance., and Nicky Pass, thank you as well. It's nice to hear folks say that they love their CVO's for a change. I agree that this forum probably represents 1% of the CVO owners and it is a good source of information when it comes to modifying your bike and I guess you just have to take all the complaining with a grain of salt. Thanks again for not reading me the riot act. Y'all ride safe!I agree and really love my CVO. Are there things I would change? Sure and I have but overall it's the best motorcycle I've ever owned.
We read all the issues and assume everyone has the issue when many do not. Not saying the bikes are perfect but I can't think of much that is. Ride them and enjoy. Reading this forum does provide good information and much food for thought. It can also be quite expensive!

I agree with the most recent comments... there are always going to be some that unfortunately get a bike that was built late Friday or painted late Friday or maybe someone had a bad day. My Hard Candy paint job is absolutely spectacular! If this freakin snow would melt I can stop looking at it and ride!
I beg to differ. Sending out bikes with such flawed paint that dealers won't sell them to customers isn't a case of a "late Friday" assembly. Apparently the paint is so flawed the MoCo had to scramble to introduce a replacement paint scheme for the SESG. Rolling out 110 engines with lifter and compensator problems...for several years? Engines with flaking powder coating? Chome that blisters, peels, and detaches? Rushmore infotainment systems that don't work as designed? Rolling out a water cooling system that loses coolant? 110's that use a qt of oil every 1,000 miles? These are not "late Friday" assembly issues. I love my CVO, but if being rational, I shouldn't be able to justify why.

I agree 100% But we still keep buying the bikes, i love my Harley and cant wait for my new CVO to arrive even tho i fully expect it to have a few issues. This is crazy i know, we pay all this money for a top quality motorcycle and we forgive Harley for not delivering the item as advertised.
Just think what you could purchase with $40,000 + bucks from another manufacturer, would we put up with something that was not up to scratch. We are playing with a supposedly high end bike the equivalent of AMG and the like in the car industry.
I recon its time to make company people/team leaders/inspectors all accountable for there lack of efficiently , instead of hiding behind the WE WILL LOOK AFTER YOU union crap there is no place for this in our modern manufacturing age. We must become more efficient or we will loose to you know who. And this applies to us Australians as well. :nixweiss:

I bought my first CVO last May, a Tribal Orange/Black RK.
Nothing wrong with the paint, and I've looked hard to find any flaws.
Flywheel pinion runout is .001 in. TIR on mine. Very smooth running at any RPM.
My only complaint is the quick detach windscreen doesn't deflect the wind very well IMO.
Yes, I've played with it and adjusted the flapper 1000 times to no avail. At some point I will
install the standard shield.
It's a keeper unless MoCo builds another CVO RG with the 2009 silver/titanium dust paint scheme.

My buddy is in Daytona and he just sent me this pic of the 2015.5 CVO SG. He said "very, very faint ghost flames also the paint is a gorgeous black and the flames are very hard to notice". Flames are on the front fender, tank and saddle bag lids. Looking at this picture compared to the one on the HD site it seems that you might have to see this bike in person to really appreciate it and not judge it by the dull picture on the site. My buddy knows I love black and said this is the bike for me. I just might have to take back what I said a couple of days ago about too much black.....lol.
I guess its unfair to pass comment without seeing the bike, but the flames look like some cheap stick on's, but with black wheels and a gloss black exhaust maybe the CVO Black knight :).
Its not my cupa tea. Still waiting for my HC to arrive soon i hope :2vrolijk_21:

Dang it all....I am still waiting to see the UV blue/orange in person and the MoCo puts this beauty out. To me, the black paint looks awesome from the pictures. I'm a fan of the ghost look (the ghost smoke on the '12 skunk comes to mind). Be still my beating checkbook..... ;Dfever,maybe!

I've never expected issues like I hear about on here, and thankfully the only bike that gave me anything serious was a Kawasaki. If I start experiencing what I hear about on this forum, I will buy something else. I have to also say this: I've never heard of these issues from the guys I see at dealer events, charity rides, and popular gathering sites. Only on here.
That's true.....on the net people are very quick to post the negative (read any motorcycle owners forum including BMW and Goldwing) comments. Human nature...we are not as quick to post the positive. There's a thread about this, someplace on this forum and so I will repeat myself.........I love my bike! Ask me on a day when I just had major failure (even though it'll be covered by the warranty) and my reply will probably not be the same. :nixweiss:

So true! They say if someone has a positive experience they may tell someone. When someone has a negative experience they tell at least 10 people and obviously with the internet that becomes a hell of a lot more. I have read the many paint posts and I did not know what to think. I looked for a post with a picture and did not see any. If the paint was that bad on sight I know I would not have bought the bike. I love my bike and the paint looks fantastic!

One of the things that attracted me to this forum when I started was besides all the negatives that were posted, there was great ideas and mods. I think in general this forum attracts a more mature person (cost of the CVO's) and if you choose to stay away from all the negatives there is still plenty to experience and enjoy.

Did they switch painters?Dunno. As much as I really like the looks of that bike, those symmetrical flames are annoying. When's the last time you ever saw flames that matched other than on a paint job? I can never remember sitting around a campfire and seeing flames that match go up each side of the fire pit at the same time. They look more like a stencil or decal than "CVO custom paint" to me.

More than one member has said it, the new tank looks very much like the 2012 CVO Street Glide.
As far as CVO Harley tank logos go I like the 2010 CVO Street Glide the best.

So would it be possible to get the new emblem for a 15 CVO Hard Rock SG and attach same without much issue??
You would be wise to let the dealer do it. The badges are about $180-$200 and are held on with double sided 3M tape. If you screw it up then either you buy the badges again or do some kitchen table therapy and apply new tape to the badges and cut out between the logo and lettering.
On the 2015 CVO, placement will be dictated by the painted on logo. I am not sure if the badges will fully cover the painted on tank logos.
Best of success in your project if you decide to go forward.

I was able to see the 15.5 SESG at the local dealer in Carbon Crystal with Phantom Flames...absolutely a beautiful bike! Light metallic in what I would describe as a very deep dark blackish-grey or maybe it's a dark slate. My wife says I cannot distinguish colors worth a darn. The metallic flames are subtle but pop in the sun. I was able to compare to the 2012 SESG, the tank badge is the same and the design of the flames are similar. However, unique enough in design. I was not really fond of the blackout style as I always preferred lot's of chrome, but this bike is awesome!

so l take it you liked it better than the other Black/Gold....
Post by: lrubio on March 23, 2015, 01:11:41 PM
I was torn between these two bikes but leaning heavy toward the black/gold and was ready to buy until I heard the new carbon crystal was being released. Since the new SESG's are not selling terribly fast in my area, it seemed that I had some time to wait for the new carbon crystal color without a huge risk of being left with no option.
Now having seen it, the carbon crystal seems to have all the same accessory treatments/colors as the black/gold, just the tins are painted different. I would have been very happy with the black/gold, but I'm glad that I waited because for my preference I like the new carbon crystal over the awesome black/gold.
Sorry for the long answer to your question.

That's my opinion too. I have the hard candy and you almost need bionic vision to see the painted/silhouetted tank name.
I'm one of these fellows who, when he spends fifty thousand dollars on a Harley-Davidson, wants the entire world to see that it's a Harley-F#%king-Davidson lol.. none of this stealth / silhouette / close-an-eye-and-stand-on-one-leg-in-the-bright-sunlight artwork.

Has anyone else seen the new black 2015 FLHXSE with silver ghost flames? It's not as flashy as the 4 colors they first came out with ;)...This color was a surprise to many... well, to me anyway..lol. Just put a deposit on mine and will have it this coming weekend...the attached photo is from the HD dealer and I'll post more pictures when I get her home. ;D
I bought the new SESG in Carbon Crystal this past Saturday. It looks amazing! In the showroom it appears to be gloss black until you walk up to it. Then you realize it is actually black with silver metallic and then the ghost flames appear. Everyone at the dealership was blown away by it. Although one guy didn't care for the liquid cooled heads, but he loved the look of the bike.
When the salesman rolled it outside into the sun...wow! The metallic jumped out, not to the degree as the Hard Candy Merc, but it really popped! Anyone who gets their hands on one of these beauties wont be disappointed. I heard nothing buy praise for the colors. One guy walked up while it was still in the showroom and said "now that's a nice bike, wow, that's a REALLY NICE BIKE!" That was also my reaction. As for the flames, yup they are the same design as many previous Harley flames. There are several different versions of silver or grey that fade in and out. And the tank badge is similar to other year's, but so what it is very cool!
I bought this bike sight unseen on the advice of the HD sales manager who I've known for years. My RK was dripping with chrome because that's what I like and the salesman knew this, but he also knew the new SESG was so Bad A$$ that I would love it and I do! No regrets.

I am also a big fan of much chrome and when I walked into our local dealer (I was only there for a cup of coffee and to see if there were any new H.D t-shirts I couldn't live without..lol) and I saw it sitting there just as you walk in the door.. I was like what is that!? I told my hubby it was a CVO and he said no way... they didn't make a black one this year. He couldn't believe I loved it with all the blacked out parts. They had just put it on the floor, no one knew it was coming which is I'm sure why it wasn't pre-sold... it is now and I am lucky enough to be the new owner... I will pick it up this weekend.. cant wait..
You're right this is one bad A$$ ride!

Saw one yesterday and it had a lot of swirls in the paint on the fairing and saddlebags. So check that out before you buy. Didn't like all the blacked out parts for me. IMO, Just another way to cut cost if you ask me, and looks cheaper than chrome. Not flashy enough for a $40,000 bike. You pay that much for a "custom" bike I want it to look "custom". Fancy paint, a lot of chrome and big bad motor is my idea of a custom, but this is just my option. I'm sure a lot of people will like the look, just not for me. I was also told that due to all the restrictions in the chroming process because of all the chemicals, we will see more blacken parts than chrome in the future due to the cost.Take a close look at the 2010 FLHXSE Spiced Rum. Except for the handlebars/controls, cylinder heads, trans side cover, plastic oil cooler cover and air cleaner the '15 carbon crystal SESG has about the same amount of chrome. Maybe more when you compare the '15's Aggressor chrome wheels to the 10's black wheels. The silver crank case helps bring out the chrome on the '10 and the black crank case gives enhances the blackout look to the '15, IMO. But I get it, just like my dad there are a lot of folks who insist on only chrome, but this blackout SESG is BAD A$$! IMO

Nice pics of the yellow SG! So much for the yellow paint being discontinued or has it been sitting around? The more I see it the more I'm liking it.
I guess it's been sitting around or has taken a while to get to the UK. The colour is no longer showing on the H-D website. It did look good under electric light as you could see the flecks in the paint. Paint quality looked ok to me as well.

The more I see the more I like this one.All this year's CVO's were that way for me. At first I thought they looked okay, but after seeing them on the showroom floor several times I thought each was really awesome. The SESG's were not selling fast in SoCal so I had the opportunity to ponder my decision for a couple months. I also had the dealers roll them outside to see them under the sun rather than under the lights. Obviously I thought the carbon crystal was best for me since that is the one I bought, but I would also love any of the other four color schemes. With the carbon crystal I didn't have much time to think about buying it because the dealers were getting deposits on it before it arrived. I left a deposit on mine with the option to back out and buy the Hard Candy, and as much as I liked it, the black crystal instantly won out for me.

Gunslinger is not doing the paint on these so maybe they will be shipped out faster with no issues
gunslinger must be a terrible paint shop or unable to handle taking on all the cvo work. i bought my 2015 SG on feb 28 and have yet to ride it since it was delivered 3 wks ago compliments of gunslinger sucking and corporate acting like it can be buffed out.

Don't worry.... The paint on my bike is spectacular as well as the maybe 10 other '15 CVO's I have seen. Of course being in Mass I have had plenty of time to look... but hopefully the weather will break any day now. I am sure as with any other companies there will always be a few issues.

I'm in the same boat as you. I was told the bike should be in the first week of May, hopefully sooner? I do see a lot more HC's showing up in the online classifieds so...... we'll see.

??? to the CVO Harley forum ... what do you think of this new carbon crystal color and switching out the black engine covers for chrome ... not touching the heads ... only the primary, cam, tranny and tranny top covers only ... l think would wake this beauty up even more ...15CVOSG, the bike is outstanding the way it sits! It's not quite a blackout because it already has a lot of chrome. The engine colors are identical to the Starfire Black/Gold Dust Flames and the Scorching Yellow models from this year. I bought Carbon Crystal a few weeks ago and think it's amazing. I get compliments on it from everyone who sees it. This look is contemporary and will hold the bike's value as the younger folks (and this old man) find this look very appealing. It took a while for the blackout to grow on me; now I think it's really awesome. Don't get me wrong but everyone has chrome, so if you really want to be different with a CVO, this look is the ticket! JMHO...

Good googally goobs....that is one purdy scooter. I think that baby looks just fine the way it's sitting. However, while changing the black chrome to "proper" chrome would bling her out a bit more, either way the black with the smoke flames is a beautiful bike.

Looks great....Ive always felt that the engine and trans should be chrome no matter what. It's the center piece of the bike!
Post by: Cross threaded on April 23, 2015, 11:42:04 AM
+1 on the engine guards and upper fork covers.
If the black cvo's would have had more chrome from the factory, I might have went that direction.

Hi,
I too would like to add the CB module w/ J&M flex antenna to my bike. I've been looking at the J&M for over a week now and can't seem to pull the trigger. Can you rate (1-10) the J&M flex antenna. I guess I'm asking are you pleased with the purchase?
Thanks,

actually have not used it yet ... but, was told it should work very well in group situations up to several blocks distance... but, don't expect several mile distance communications with it compared to fixed mast antenna's...
