Welcome from Arkansas!

I ordered the parts for the "Roll Your Own" SE Air Cleaner listed by Jerre at http://www.cvoharley.com/smf/index.php/topic,5725.0/all.html . The dealer will install the air cleaner parts, the Screamin' Eagle® Street Performance Touring Mufflers, SERT and set it all up before I pick up the bike (18 days!).

I'm spending $$$ on top of the already obscene price of the bike, and I haven't even seen it yet! (My wife thinks I only went to the dealer today to pick up a quart of oil for my present bike)

Just some friendly advise, but don't ask me how I found out. When you order parts from your dealer or anybody else give them your cell phone number to contact you and not your home number. That way when they call to let you know that your parts are in they will speak to you. The OCD has just begun.

Thats a good one! 

[megavolt17]

Wish I had thought of that when I ordered the parts!

I plan to roll the cost of the bike + tax + add ons + labor + extended warranty into one big check when I pick up the bike.  I am hoping that if they itemize the sales receipt my wife does NOT LOOK TOO CLOSELY AT IT!!!

Just tell you wife it was on sale!!!

That is a language she will understand...

That works with most women I have known, but whenever I have told my wife I saved a certain amount of $$$ or a certain % of money by getting something on sale she replies, "Think how much you would have saved if you didn't buy it at all".  I must have found the only logical woman on the planet!   

With the CVO she has pretty much given me free reign, or at least she is not looking too closely at what I am doing. I told her the bike is my mid-life crisis, and cheaper than having an affair (and subsequent divorce).  I ordered it 17 September (my birthday).  I doubt this tactic will work on future birthdays, but only time will tell!

It could be worse. My wife gets to spend whatever I end up spending! That is if she notices upgrades to the bikes.

Hmmm. Makes you wonder who is the happiest when you do mods on your bike.

Hello, and welcome to CVO Harley!!

[megavolt17]

The arrival date for my bike of 17 October 2007 has been changed to 25 October.  No VIN number yet so who really knows.  I have read horror stories here about bikes being canceled and delayed for months so if it really is only for another week that is not too bad... Maybe they will sort out all the leaks and heat related problems before my bike is made.

I will (try to) avoid going to the dealer between now and when the bike comes in to pick it up.  Too many nice things there that I didn't even know I needed.

A big CVO howdy from Texas. Hope the scoot arrives PDQ. BTW you don't have to go to the dealership to find all kinds of goodies, just look back on some of the threads here. $1000.00 You'll need Just A Little Bit Extra My Friend. That's part of the fun, transforming it into your bike.
