My guess? Zero, if none are made. Or if there are some, $32999 new and $26,000 one year later.

Hard to believe they would do that. First of all that would be two VERY similar color combos with both the autum haze and frosted ivory. Second, if they were going to cancel one color why wouldn't they just make more of color combos they already have?

Having half the model year go by I allready assumed the K bike wasn't going to see the light of day. My biggest worry was that HD would over produce the Orange/Black model as that's what I have. Hard to believe HD with all their resources couldn't get that done.
I feel a little bad for those that have waited so long for this bike just to find out it may never happen.

I appeal to your memory, is it already happened in the history of Harley cancellation of a color ?

hope this is just a bad rumor....i've ordered too long ago to change now the color..

Where did you hear that? I thought someone just posted that theirs was shipping soon? Also, last weekend a dealer near me said theirs is due to arrive next month.

glenpick · « **Reply #15 on:** January 19, 2011, 05:15:37 PM »

Had my heart set on the Krypto - got bumped to the orange / black - hell I'm just happy to have a CVO SG - I had heard it over here also from my dealer that the Krypto run could be cancelled. Sorry to you all who have been waiting patiently for so long - The least the MoCo could do is fess up their plans & get rid of the uncertainty.

Talked with the folks at Conrad's HD in Joliet, Ill late last week. They are expecting their in Feb. Said they had just checked on it for the owner who's going to keep it for a while as a demo.

This makes no sense to me at all.

Why is there such a problem with the Krypto's?

Has anyone received a definitive answer?

I feel for all who have been waiting so long for this beautiful looking bike.

I was hoping to see one in person, but maybe not???

Most likely it is just somebody spreading a bad rumour to increase the hype.

Sat Jan 15 I saw the paperwork showing a Feb 11 ship date for a Krypto from the factory to my dealer in Brandon Fl (Tampa). It looked legit! I have been waiting since Oct. riding my 10 SG very sparingly so as not to run up the miles. I hope its just a vicous rumor, I have everything crossed and then some LOL.

slotbike · « **Reply #26 on:** January 19, 2011, 08:59:28 PM »

Guys, this is all someone just making something up. I sat on 2 Kryptos at the July dealer show. Told my dealer that day that I would take the 1 that he had consigned to him out of 16 CVO's that he had consigned from the MoCo. My delivery date is Feb. 7th (original date was Sept. 17th) They are coming.......

olivier105 · « **Reply #27 on:** January 20, 2011, 06:38:46 AM »

Beemer · « **Reply #28 on:** January 20, 2011, 07:03:58 AM »

With people having sat on one and with the Kryptos already crated and in the warehouse waiting to be shipped, I guess it's just a rumor then.

I still have a few questions though...why would shipment be on hold?

And what problem with the paint (with all the modern coating technologies) could have delayed production so long? They've been doing black since forever so it can't be that.

If the Krypto was going to be a mid-year release, why didn't they say so?

I can't wait to see one in person...I hope they meet all the hype!

Fatboy · « **Reply #29 on:** January 20, 2011, 07:15:48 AM »

Isn't the Mid Year Dealer Show in Orlando around the ned of this month...maybe they are keying up the Krypto release and any other "exciting" news to be announced together.

Beemer · « **Reply #30 on:** January 20, 2011, 07:30:28 AM »

Yeah, that and maybe another paint scheme for the 11 FLHTCUSE5.

Have they ever just had a single paint scheme for any year CVO?

I was in my dealers place on Sat. I asked him (the owner) if I could put money down on a green one... he said no you can't MoCo had paint issues and they are only going to deliver what was ordered between the dealer's show and when they found out they had issues. He didn't say how long of time period was however. I wanted to buy one and was prepared to deposit.....no deal.He did offer an orange/black instead......no deal.

Thats odd, because last time i checked on mine, dealer told me H-D had let them place an order for a few more kryptos for april-may delivery. Which made him very optimistic about the paint and whatever issues they may have had.

For the sake of everyone who has waited so long for this color, and probably sacrificed some serious riding time, I hope it happens. If not, I'll bet it becomes a 2012 color.
