Hey JC, have you thought about this:  Get the SESG and put the 'custom painted tins' on the shelf for when you sell it (to retain 'value') and buy some spare tins to paint to your desire.....that'd be the best of both worlds.  spyder

Great idea......paint it Cobalt blue and starlight black.

FYI JC, I have a painter here that can match the 04 colors perfectly!

And just wanted to add this,


What happened to the watercooled baggers?

Wasn't there supposed to be a Tour Glide this year?  Just goes to show all the rumors are usually wrong!

I am very glad I got my 2009 SERG

yeah......and instead of the 'copper' striping.....use Silver-Leaf.  spyder

The 2010 CVO SG is much more expensive than my 09 SG (even with all the changes I made to it).  The 09's 2-1-2 exhaust flows great for my purposes (didn't care for the 2010 SG "lost one muffler" look).  I went with the stage II 103 with 255 cams and love the performance (much better than a 110 that keeps sprouting oil leaks)... Glad i went with the 09 instead of waiting for 2010s. I have quick detach tourpac, pass backrest, and choice of two racks, 103 motor, passenger floorboards, rider adj backrest, and everything else I wanted on the SG for less than the 2010 CVO SG that doesn't have most of the options I added (for less money)...

Yes, the 09 and 2010 have many advances in handling design, worth an upgrade for sure... probably plenty of 09s on showroom floors to get a deal on too... Nothing in the 2010 lineup that I can't live without... Now if my wife will just shutup about wanting a trike...

Anyone else notice the stage II 103 is no longer available for a 2010 SG? For that matter, the SE catalog is now mostly tools?

Wonder how long before the 1st Screamin' Eagle Trike?    spyder

[naitram]

id guess 2011 or 2012 at the most

I wonder how long before the MoCo offers a number of "Limited" models based on the most popular scooters with the 103 motor as standard? Or will the 103 become the standard power plant?

The 2010 CVO Ultra has the standard air line shock system.  The new FLHXSE has a new hydraulic rear shock with a hand adjustable pre-load.  I used it and was not too fond of it.  Time will tell if buyers like it.

I'm really REALLY disappointed!  I thought they'd come out with the Street Glide in red since they discontinued the Red Hot Sunglo (Terriez color) on the Street Glide.  Instead we get an Ultra that looks like Pumpkin and an Ultra that looks like a combination of the Blue Jester and Emmet-Glide (Miker's nickname for the Silver/Blue Ultra).  The copper/gold two-tone is nice paint but why?  They have the anniversary colors left over everywhere.  Yea, it's a little different color "rootbeer" but it doesn't jump right out and grab you like the 2004 or 2005 SEEG!  Maybe I will change my mind when I see one in person but at this point the best looking one is the orange Ultra and I don't need a bike that big! 

 

You should see the new color befor you cast judgement.  I saw them, it looks good.  I saw no pumkin.

I knew they needed something to compete with Indian with.

Why was Indian on a street corner in downtown Denver begging H-D dealers to become Indian dealers?  Harley has no one to compete with!!!

  Maybe they knew some HD dealers know what they're doing. 
IMC has said it only wants to capture 1% of HD's business.

I saw the new Indians and they are not that good.  Trust me!!!!  Clones!

Have you actually ridden an '09 Chief? While they may have some idiosyncrasies, I wouldn't dismiss them in general. The only thing they "clone" may be the Springfield or Gilroy in looks. But it ends there. Baker Transmission and brand new Power Plus 105 engine are a far cry from a clone.

Because if you're smart you drop your bait where the fish are collected .

Market share patterns over the last few years seem to suggest otherwise.  Demographic modeling show those trends will only continue working against them if they don't do more that is far different than they so far have proved they know how to do.  Just because they're still the biggest dog on the domestic block in no suggests others aren't biting at their ass.  Good luck with the dealership Jason.  But it really doesn't look like HD has fair winds and following seas behind it for the next few years.
