2011 RGCVO Passenger Seat
« on: March 16, 2011, 11:43:06 PM »
Curious as to why Harley stitched "Ultra Road Glide" on the backrest of the passenger's seat and not Road Glide CVO.  The CVO logo would have looked better and matched the other CVO badges on the bike.

Or make money.  If they would have stitched the CVO emblem on the back rest, that would have made it a CVO exclusive item and limited sales.  This way, if you buy a non-CVO Ultra Road Glide, you can purchase it, if you want and put it on your RGU.  The MoCo, when it comes to making money, are geniuses in marketing...

They mixed it up during assembly and put the CUSE6 backrest on instead of the SEURG backrest.  I'm sure your dealer will swap it out for you ...

Already done guys I had initially thought that was what made the 2011 CVOs so exclusive even with 1500 units built mine was a one off at least for 2 months till MOCO shipped the right one.

The seat as well as most parts aren't exclusive to the CVO they are all standard accessory parts that harley puts on their CVO's. The seat says Ultra Roadglide in hopes that those who own a Ultra Roadglide will buy this seat once they discover that they dont like the factory seat.
