During the tour I asked why it isn't Custom Vehicle Operations any more??? She said in 2008 they went to a line production so it no longer is Custom. I didn't know that. I still thought CVO bikes were built by one or two people like when mine was built. :nixweiss:

Strange, in 2009 I toured York, the regular line and the CVO line which was off to the left in the old building. That is where they were building the 09 SERG and the SEUC. Two people building each bike.
I have heard that in 2010 they were moved to regular production but I do not know for sure.

Since we were there in July, the 2012's were in production and we couldn't see them since they weren't out yet. She did say it was 2008 that they started building them on the line... :nixweiss:

Strange, but I know that it was May of 2009 when I toured the CVO line in the old building, it was after I got my 2009 CVO. I also believe a group from this site made a tour of the CVO line in 2009. You had to have at least ten people and special approval or permission back then ahead of time.
