Yes spook120, I saw the pics from the dealer show but as you said those lights make them look different. Especially the black and grey one, I know it's a dark color but it looks all black. I may have to take the leap like I did with my 2011 kryptonite, it was the same way.

I also need to see a "Real world pic". I have a deposit on the Orange/Black CVO Streetglide but only want it if it's "Orange" and Black, Not "Copper" and Black like some of the pictures make it look.

Yep.  Colors are totally subjective but I like this shade of orange.  Its a little subdued and a little less traditional compared to the inferno orange I had on my 2011 CVO Streetglide which may have been my favorite paint scheme.

Here are some additional pictures of the O/B. The orange is not as bright as most camera pictures display. The color is maybe a shade lighter the the Autumn Sunset on the CVO RGU. It has a copper look to it.

Those two sets of photos make the paint look like two different shades with one being orange, one being copper.  I really would like to see some quality photos of the gray and black bike.  Thanks for posting the images.

I was hoping it was a brighter orange so I was a bit disappointed when I pulled the cover off it after it was unloaded off the truck. It's nice looking but too much like the 15 CVO RGU I traded. Going with the Starfire Black/Atomic Red instead.

Interesting comment by the sales dude while I was looking at the red/black.  He mentioned he didn't like the black on the bike because it was "soft" paint.  Have no idea what he was talking about as the whole bike is clear coated just like any other color.  Strange comment I thought...

Good point. Unless HD finally decided to powdercoat the black parts, the black paint and clear coat are soft and more prone to scratches and spider webs than clearcoat and painted cars are.

I saw the black/grey today and to say the least I was disappointed. The grey is so dark that from 10 feet away the bike looks solid black. Just not for me I will hold on to the old kryptonite for awhile longer.

It weird to me that there is no "feeding frenzy" on the 2017s.  I remember when I was searching for my 15, if a dealer had one, it was over MSRP and it was rare to even see one.  Now, there are a number of 16s just sitting and the 17s are coming in and selling, but they seem kind of easy to get....

Although I am a sucker for a black and orange bike I am looking at the gray/black as a better alternative this year as it "hides" the crappy graphic pattern.  That in its self is a pretty condemning statement on the color patterns HD chose to put on these bikes.  Need to see both in person before making a final decision.  Truth be told if it wouldn't be for losing the sales tax credit on the 15 I sold through the dealer I most likely would wait to see what the 2018 graphics pattern would offer.

How long until you lose that credit? I'm still thinking there's going to be another model added to the lineup by January.

Sorry Wild Hog. Just stating how I see it. HD has dropped the ball time and time again with their paint. $37k is a lot for a bike that doesn't stick out like it should. Or a paint that scratches very easily like the new style does.

Seriously though i was going to wait till next year but i want to avoid next years "Anniversary year bikes", with the silly wing badge motifs and the gastly colour combo's the've done in previous years, also i don't think much will change to next years tourers i think all the attention will be on the softails and dyna's getting 107 engines etc,
2019 model year i think harley will drop in a better mark 2 version of the sat nav, with better graphics,faster etc to rival Indians new infotainment system.

As a matter of fact I wouldn't, because that would be expected. Just as it should be expected of HD to not completely screw up on a paint scheme for a $37,799 bike.

But other than that, I totally see your point...

Well said that man!!

Seems to many people bitch about how they hate every model year wether it's the colour , graphics etc, there's been 16 colour choices since 2012, ( no flhxse in 2014) and 1 Rushmore upgrade and now the new engine and suspension but some still find something not to like..... Until maybe they have sufficient funds then strangely the bike is perfect without fault ..... Funny that!

I agree about the paint deal, they should have put at least a stripe or something on top of the bags when flopping the colors around. Like they did on top of rear fender. I think it would be a lot less visually confusing that way.

Never? :confused5:

Guys should feel free to express their opinions.  I still don't like the paint scheme on my '12 SEUC as much as the '04 SEEG that I traded for it (and you'll probably be able to find a post or two to that effect on this site).  Even though I managed to find the "sufficient funds" to buy it.

Post by: Fired00d on September 09, 2016, 06:51:19 PM
After owning my first Harley which was all Black (and a lot of chrome) I have had an affinity to Orange Harley's. In the CVO lineup the following have stirred my "emotional" soul...

2000 - FXR4 Candy Tangerine with Eclipse Graphics
2000 - Screamin' Eagle Road Glide Vivid Black/VR Racing Orange/Arctic White
2004 - Screamin' Eagle Electra Glide Orange Pearl and Jet Black with Silver and Red Pinstriping (Own)
2005 - Screamin' Eagle VRod Two-Tone Electric Orange and Black (even though it doesn't fit me)
2006 - Screamin' Eagle VRod2 Electric Orange and Black
2008 - Screamin' Eagle Springer2 Inferno Orange with Fireburst Flames
2009 - Screamin' Eagle Road Glide3 Electric Orange/Vivid Black
2010 - Screamin' Eagle Softail Convertible Inferno Orange with Vivid Black and Silver Braze Graphics
2011 - Screamin' Eagle Street Glide2 Black Diamond / Inferno Orange (however this is bordering in more black vs orange than I like)
2012 - Screamin' Eagle Ultra Classic6 Electric Orange & Black Diamond (another one bordering on more black than orange I like however the orange is on top)
2013 - Screamin' Eagle Road Glide Custom2 Atomic Orange and Galaxy Grey with Edge Graphics (not as bright of orange as I like but...)
 
As you can see I like/prefer the more vivid/bright/brilliant orange (& black) Harley's (IMO they remind me more of the B&S which to me just speaks "H-D"). I think a lot of purchasing a motorcycle is passion versus form/function (new features/suspension/power/etc) at least to me it is.... If I don't get that "I have to have it" feeling most times I can leave a new bike at the dealership.

That's 11 bikes with colour schemes you ve loved over the years and I'm the same as are many others , a Harley has to " speak to you" to part with your cash , however I bet you never dissed 11 other Harley colour schemes you may have hated, I' m  sure you were a gentleman and kept those opinions to yourself.

True... even though there hasn't been enough to move "my soul" into purchasing there has been something to "appreciate" about the innovations/improvements (that's what keeps my "list" of upgrades/improvements not fulfilled, and why I just keep improving what I have :D).

Yep totally agree with you fired00d

That's 11 bikes with colour schemes you ve loved over the years and I'm the same as are many others , a Harley has to " speak to you" to part with your cash , however I bet you never dissed 11 other Harley colour schemes you may have hated, I' m  sure you were a gentleman and kept those opinions to yourself.
We're all entitled to our opinions  of course we are, it's just the same opinions all to often that tires me!.


The same opinion you're flaming me for is identical to yours being for the colors. I have the funds for a new bike, could have already traded on a 2016 and now 2017. But, why? Why trade for a bike that just doesn't do it for you? I love everything HD is doing with their bikes, I really do. But, I'm just not happy with their paint ideas lately and I've talked to numerous people who agree.

Again, I guess that's the wrong thing to talk about on this forum. Saying that HD didn't quite hit a home run with their paint scheme. Unreal if that's the case.

Well said that man!!

Seems to many people bitch about how they hate every model year wether it's the colour , graphics etc, there's been 16 colour choices since 2012, ( no flhxse in 2014) and 1 Rushmore upgrade and now the new engine and suspension but some still find something not to like..... Until maybe they have sufficient funds then strangely the bike is perfect without fault ..... Funny that!

How you can say sufficient funds when we all have CVO's on here is just laughable. You like the paint and state it, I don't like the paint and state it. Yet, I'm wrong.

Don't worry about that. I made sure I let the HD reps that visited us in MV last year know about it too. Lot's of us have been bitching about the lack of creativity on the bikes the last few years. 14 and 15 Limiteds with the same paint just different colors. 11, 15 and 16 FLTRUSE with damn near the same paint scheme AND colors not to mention the Black SEEG that has surfaced in 12 and 15 that are so close you have to look at the VIN to tell what year it is...

Yup you know it !,

My dealers got a cracking deal on my part ex of my hard candy mercury flhxse against his used 2012 ruby flhxse, ... just so i can be in your club!!!   :huepfenjump3:
only busting your balls buddy!!
Seriously though i was going to wait till next year but i want to avoid next years "Anniversary year bikes", with the silly wing badge motifs and the gastly colour combo's the've done in previous years, also i don't think much will change to next years tourers i think all the attention will be on the softails and dyna's getting 107 engines etc,
2019 model year i think harley will drop in a better mark 2 version of the sat nav, with better graphics,faster etc to rival Indians new infotainment system.

I mean how can anyone not love this years bikes, i think all this years colour combos are good! :2vrolijk_21:

If I had to pick one this year that Cobalt Blue is nice. My issue with it is there is too much of the Indigo blue. I would have liked to see more of the Cobalt being the primary color with a touch of Indigo. Just don't care for the layout. Nice scooter though. Again, I stated earlier looks are subjective to each individual and there is no right or wrong here. Your opinion, my opinion, their opinion, all just that, opinion.

There's no right or wrong just indifference , my point is make your opinion and then move on! Don't keep harping on about it,
The difference in what I said to you is worlds apart , if I or anyone likes a bike colour or spec and states it then that offends no one,  but go on this forum and consistently say you don't like something persistently is only going to make enemies, that's not why I joined ...don't know about you.

And yes we all have cvo's but some change them more often than others ! if there fortunate enough , just like some compare who has the highest mileage on there bike as if it's some contest or something , I don't see it like that as long as you enjoy every mile you put on your bike who cares the number,  I just doubt the honesty of some comments is it they really don't like every model year or is it funds? ....if your waiting for the perfect Harley in the perfect colour with the right engine colour and features well it just isn't gonna happen !
Suppose it comes down to a simple choice " Either you get busy living , or get busy dying".

Well, just laid my eyeballs on an orange and black 2017.  Even out in the sun it is definitely a copper toned orange.  Pretty bike in a subdued way, but I wish the Laguna orange would have been used instead.  Just my .02. Guess I need to see the black and gray bike before deciding which, if any, to put in the garage.

We're not as fortunate in UK as dealers only get CVO's in on secured deposits ,so you have to order "blind" so to speak and hope you've chosen the right colour .. Rotten really!

I like the new engine color....it's like really more of a dark grey.  That being said....I've always loved chromed out motors.  For close to $40K sticker, you should be able to get the blacked motor or chrome with any color combo.  That's just my opinion.....

Agree on the motors! I'd have a 15/16 black CVO SG if I could get the chrome motor.  Instead I'm undecided and haven't bought.  Price is going to decide instead of color at this point.  I like all the colors on chrome motor CVO SGs about the same, so the best deal will end up in the garage.

Cripes!   That don't help me decision now! I kinda like colours to be definite , blue to be blue, red to be red and orange to be orange,
I'm torn between orange and black one  and the blue one , however I think the truth to be from the guys who have them or seen them is that the orange one in some lights will appear dark tan/copper and the blue one in some lights and angles will appear to have a slight purple tinge to it,
I know everyone's eyes see colour and light differently , but if I bear this in mind it may help my decision, ( no point kidding myself that's it's blue if it's not)
Any ways going to see the orange one land in UK in two weeks time then I can see for myself.
Anyone's Helpfull input on there take on these two colours may help. :2vrolijk_21:

I am an orange and black guy when it comes to HD.  But yet have not decided on that color for this bike mainly due to the messed up graphic pattern.  Thinking the gray and black may be subtle and not draw the eye as much as the orange/copper  and would not shout  "WE SCREWED THE POOCH IN PICKING THIS DESIGN!"  A sad commentary that you chose a bike color to HIDE the graphics.  Coming from the bright bass boat sparkle of a 2015 silver bike I just might be ready for something that blends into the scenery a bit more. LOL...

Don't think that's what Jesse was implying. IMO I think he was speaking to those that are fortunate (for whatever reasons... desire, weather, finances, lack of family obligations, what have you) to accumulate a lot of miles try to belittle those that don't, while others (for whatever reasons... desire, weather, finances, family obligations, what have you) don't accumulate a lot of miles. My thought is as long as you enjoy riding when you do, and you are still riding (little or a lot) then it doesn't concern me (nor should it be my concern) one way or the other. :nixweiss:

I agree with you as the colors are so dark and close to each other in tint. I rode one at Harley Demo Days on Friday.
I saw the black/grey today and to say the least I was disappointed. The grey is so dark that from 10 feet away the bike looks solid black. Just not for me I will hold on to the old kryptonite for awhile longer.

Still hoping for some closer looks at the Blue CVO SG. Like to see some close ups. I rode up to Ernie's HD in Algona yesterday and they only had 1 '17 bike it was the orange/black CVO SG. Didn't care for the paint scheme but loved the new engine look and sound.

He located one and sent these photos. It's in St. Paul, MN if anyone is interested. Nice ride but mine is paid for and they put a little too much of the secondary color on the rear for my liking. They only offered me 22k for my '12

The blue is very sharp.  It has a color matched inner fairing, chrome wheels, and a chrome engine-the only one of the CVO Street Glides that is decked out that way.

I drove 120 miles this AM to lay my eyes on a gray and black bike.  I have now seen all but the blue bike.  As others have said it was underwhelming.  I am partial to dark bikes and may very well end up with this color but from 10 feet away it looks black. In defense of the color, it does hide the awkward graphics on this years CVO. If you want a "look at me" bike, this color combination is definitely not for you.  Of the bikes I have seen the O/B looks I guess as striking as any.  Red..meh...just not my color...and have not seen the blue.

There was an orange Street Glide Special sitting next to the CVO with a color matched inner fairing and it was much more striking than the CVO bike.  Go figure.  Seeing these bikes I came away with a gnawing feeling of maybe just buying a regular street glide special and calling it a day would be an option.  For the $11K in price difference you could really make a bike that would be just what you wanted....But then you would take it in the shorts when trade in time came.  No real winner here.  Just my thoughts. What do the rest of you guys think?  Thanks for listening.

Same thing I told Dave when he bought his new Batwing and was wanting an RG. Buy the bike that grabs you and if the engine isn't big enough, do the Stage3 upgrade from a 107 to a 114.

Spook the Blue CVO SG was a near miss for me. I even sat down and crunched numbers. In the end it was just a bit off for me. The secondary color is too dark and too much of it on the ass. Close but no cigar, my wallet stays happy for now!

Not crazy at all my friend, just different tastes. That's why they make different color combos. Just wish they would have made different paint schemes not crazy about the layout.

The Orange on my new 2017 is not my ideal Orange. I too almost bought the Laguna Orange Streetglide or Roadglide . At the end of the day I have owned a CVO Since 2000, I guess I wanted to stay in the club.

Every bike with a fairing I have owned until this has been a CVO Road Glide.  I really looked hard at the Laguna Orange road glide special.  Was extremely close to going that route.  Two things held me back one being trade value in two years with over 40K on the bike.  I would have had 6~7 K in wheels, chome fork legs, stretched bags, CVO rear fender and so on.  Get nothing for that stuff in trade.  The other part is I'm use to everything a CVO has.

Jesus Christ,exactly why I never come on this site. A guy could go out and put a JIMS 135" in his bike and some asswipe would bitch that he might get chitty gas mpg with the new motor.
This is a "forum" which was made to express  opinions. If you dont like people expressing their opinions, forums aren't for you then.
I also think the paint schemes on the new CVO leave much more to be desired. But from I gather taste vary greatly in the Harley community  as I see a few of my friends mock my 15 silver CVO street glide, which I think is amazing.  One thing for sure, they need to improve their paint scheme to increase sales.  I wouldnt mind dropping another 40k on a CVO Ultra, but like others say the current models dont leave me in awe.

Harley CVO really need to step up their game, as there are alot of people who have the money to pay the premium for a luxury item but they have yet to provide the product to support it.  Maybe this is why they dropped production and old CVO's are still on dealer floors.

HARLEY STEP UP YOUR PAINT GAME, LOOK AT SAND RAILS FOR EXAMPLES IF YOU ARE OUT OF CREATIVITY!!!!!!!

On a side not I really do think this Ultra is cool  and will seriously consider non cvo models in the near future:

I had my local parts guy figure out what it would cost to build that bike with a 114 motor....well over 40k.  And no you would not get that kind of money back when it was time to trade.  Cool bike though.

I'm lovin' my '17 O/B SG.  I love the color.  I love the graphics. I love the clutch release and engage point.  I love the sound of 1st gear engagement (no noise).  Even my friends who are die hard black bike riders admit they really like it.  So, I guess opinions are just that. My opinion is that it's nice if they do, but I really don't care if anyone likes my bike, the color, the M8, the "never buy the first year of a new model", or not. Once in a while you know you made the right decision and this is one of those times for me.  Guess I'm just crazy, too.   :thumbsup:

 If I was to clone that bike I would start by powder-coating gloss or matte black as many of the stock parts as I possibly could.

 IMHO no need to squander any more funds then necessary funds at the parts counter and by doing your own labor a reasonably close copy could be done in the low - mid- 30's.

They delivered mine last Thursday. Have a buddy that has the pence and black and a buddy that has the blue and black. Both are beautiful to me. I chose the Grey and Black b cause I like a more toned down look. The blue and black has the chrome where the others do not. I love mine. Think it just right!!
