You know after reading all the negatives of the new Street Glide CVO I needed to see what all the fuss was about. Dealer just got a silver bike in and gave me a call (I have had a deposit sitting waiting for the right bike for 3 years and was second on the list for a new SG.) Anyway, I have to tell you that the bike sitting in the sun was stunning. Did you note that the flames are also dark metal flake as is the inner fairing? Long story short, my CVO will come in for April delivery as no sense letting a bike sit in the garage over a 8 month Minnesota winter. Bottom line I think HD did a great job on these bikes. The only doubt I have is between the blue/orange and the silver with the silver currently in the lead. Spook
