That's sounds typical when somebody joins CVO Harley. It happened to me...

 okay, as promised, pics.





so after the first 200 miles, i can honestly say, i still don't like the heel shifter.  thats coming off.  and i miss my floorboard extenders.  add some highway pegs and then it should be as comfortable as my last bike.  the 2-1-2 with cat doesn't feel quite as hot as my previous 2-1, but i don't have any lowers on this one either (yet).  thinking of the fullsac sportpipe, and the 2.0 baffles, and renewing the license for my powervision and i think that should be pretty good.  the 110 seems to have a good bit of torque, but i'm still in breakin mode so i haven't really wrung it out yet.

my wife is laughing at me because the cvo is so flashy.  i'm usually a pretty subdued guy (my road king was white, and my last road glide was denim black) so she isn't used to me in anything other than 'stealth' mode.  but damn, it is a good looking bike.  i'm still not really absorbing that its mine.  i never thought i would spend that kind of money on a motorcycle.  but really, it isn't that bad if you do it in stages.  start off with sportster, pay it off, trade it in on a big twin and you end up with similar payments.  trade the big twin in on the cvo after its paid for, and again, you have similar payments.  so i pay about the same as someone buying an off the floor touring bike.  it just took a long time to get here :D

my only complaint is the stupid high cost of the color matched parts :shocked2:  even at discount, the tourpak is almost double

Expensive, yes... but it will look KILLER on your beautiful SERG!

In the summer I usually don't have my TP on the bike unless I'm on a trip, but for winter riding I usually just leave it on for storage space.

it looks black in the pics, but it is really 'burnt emerald'.  i guess that means green with a black basecoat....

Congrats on the new Shark!  That color combo is really gorgeous in person.  Photos just don't do it justice.

sorry, wife has already claimed them :D

question for the other fltrxse2 owners:  i was looking through the owners manual last night (i know, dangerous :D) when i came across something i found interesting.  there's a section in there on 'electrically locking saddlebags'.  now i am fairly certain that this bike didn't come with those, and i don't see any electrical connections going to the saddlebag latches.  so is this an option that we're supposed to have?  or did they make a last minute change to the bike specs after they already had the owners manuals printed up?  i actually stopped and looked at the cover of the manual to see if it were one of those 'covers all touring bikes' manuals, but it was def. specific to the serg.

The Matching tour pac with LED brake and signal lights makes for a good fit.

i didn't think it did, but found it 'curious' that it was in the owner's manual.  i wonder how long it would take the service dept to figure it out if i went in and told them, 'my bags dont work like the manual says they should'....   :bananarock:
