Here we are in late 2007 and I just viewed the post and view counts.  I find it very interesting that the SEEG forum has more posts and views than any other model.

Take into consideration that the SEEG was only produced for two years and that the SEUC has been three years makes it even more interesting.

Now I remember issues.......I guess the big one was the peeling chrome.  And yes, I had wheels and a couple other parts replaced and I was upset about that but I'll tell you guys........I'd take peeling chrome any day of the week over the kind of heat, paint and other problems that the 110" SEUC has.  I think that you SEEG owners would all agree.

[hd-dude]

I have to agree, I only had a couple of paint issues with mine (fingerprints under the clear) but I'd sure take that the the motor issues with the 110's any day. The really sad thing is that we have to deal with any of these kind of flaws.

H'mm, all the more reason to have the SEEG forum at the top of the list - Neal 

[erniezap]

Well, the 04 & 05 SEEGs are the best....

Owning an 04 and an 05, I think that the paint on the 04 is more scratch and chip resistant than the 05.

Not to nit pick the theory here but the SEEG has a runnin' head start on the number of years folks have posted, considering we have a relitively small number of people that post and that the three most prolific posters to date are on SEEG's, that may have a lot to do with it.

All great members with great contributions and great SEEG's  (Magoo started there anyway)

Sure glad many of the upgrades to the SEEG's work on the SEUC's, you guys did some great leg work for "all" of us and deserve to have the most posts IMO.


It may be noted that even with 4381 members to date only the first 100 have posted more than 500 times.

[Fired00d]

Still am crazy about my and have yet to see anything that has come out in the CVO lineup that would want me to get rid of it.

One day I'm hoping to be like my buddy Brian and add the O/B SERG to my stable. To me that would be the ultimate CVO package to date.

Well I think the SEEG's are the most versatile bikes cvo bikes out there.  With the quick detatchable backrest, tour pack, and  lower fairings, you can change the look of your bike from a big tourer to a hot rod looking street glide.  I love it.  When I started looking at baggers, my Dad wanted me to go with an 07 or 08 SEUC.  I liked the 07's, but I would have had to sink another couple of grand into the bike to get it to be a quick change over bike like the SEEG.  I love the paint on the 07's too, but I like  !!!

Mike, you should see JR's over in Memphis.  His little banna represents that color very well!

. . .

You mean there are other CVOs?

The SEEG is a GREAT motorcycle and, IMHO, is what put the CVO brand on the map.  Sure, there were plenty of other awesome bikes that preceeded it, but I think the popularity of the CVO line increased by leaps and bounds when the Electra Glide models were introduced.  I am just as nuts about my SEEG as the first time I saw it, just a little over 4 years ago now.  Great sweeping lines to the paint, very nice chrome detail, and a mighty potent powerplant.  I knew when I bought it that the MoCo was going to have to really step it up to get me to part with the SEEG, and to date, that just hasn't happened for me.

I think it is only a matter or days/weeks/months before the SEUC board surpasses the SEEG board in terms of posts and views, but it does seem that a greater proportion of posts there are problem-related.   By and large, the issues with the SEEGs have been pretty minor in comparison.

[hdnut]

I was at the dealer yesterday morning and had me temp. wire short fixed and that has been my only problem in 11,400 miles.The tech. took my seeg for a ride and when he came back he told me my bike is his favorite bike to ride!!!! Mine Too!!!

[spydglide]

OH YEAH.........SEEG's FOREVER!  har!  spyder

[Gettinold]

Oh Yea I'll second that.    SEEG's FOREVER   

[Kingsalmon]

I like all the comments, I too have not ever regretted buying my SEEG. Having said that, if CVO ever comes out with a Road Glide with a 120 in it, I'll be their with money in hand.

[Twolanerider]

No doubt where I stand (ok, sit) on the SEEGs.  Sure glad I've got the one that's mine.

That's the way I feel too about mine and have not felt bad about putting the extra goodies on it as it is a keeper. 

I have one fingerprint on the LH inside fairing that you can only see in direct sunlight and is not worth the effort to replace.

As far as warranty, the MOCO pocketed money on this one as the only warranty claim was for a leaking rear rocker box gasket that the dealer replaced and then I had to end up retightening anyway.

I really like my cherry but the 04 O/B's of Gettinold and Pete 4854 caught my eye in MV.. 

[erniezap]

I really like my cherry but the 04 O/B's of Gettinold and Pete 4854 caught my eye in MV.. 

I know the feeling.  After almost 40K miles on the cherry I decided to get a second bike.  Looked at a lot of different years, models, etc, but the 04-05 SEEG's still won out.  I had always said that if I didn't get the cherry I would have gotten the pumpkin.  Now I don't have to say that anymore 

[Banana man]

I love my banana and would not trade it for anything. It is so versatile, you can have everything on it
and go touring or in about 30 minutes strip it down to look like a slammed hot rod bagger. It is the best
of the cvo bikes!! That being said, I sure do like the 08 SEUC now that they put the king tour pack
on it. It looks so comfortable. Now if they could only fix the mechanical issues.

Yea, that along with the pricing issue.  Every dealership I go into lately is stocked to the doors with bikes and none are moving.  HD finally has hit the point where they're manufactureing more bikes than they can sell and it's got the guys at the dealerships pretty nervous.  Lower the price and they'll move a few more.

Good question........and we might just find out.

Ya know, back to my point in starting this thread.  Another thing that occured to me this weekend while riding up in Yosemite.  Which model of CVO is it that more owners own two of, than any other model.  The SEEG!

Andy, Ernie and Don (iselbulls) all have two each.  There may even be others here.........anybody?

If money weren't the issue, I'm afraid I'd have another one, too.......just so I don't wear mine out too quick.  Harley may not be able to out-do the SEEG in my life time.

Hey, how about GM's trick of employee pricing, or 0 % financing, or $1,000 cash back.  It's so bad in the car market that most educated consumers wait until the end of the model year to get the best deals.  Maybe a desperate MoCo will resort to such tricks.

It was only an overheard conversation but while at the local dealership Saturday heard one of thier long term employee salesman tell a relatively new rep that "Harley just cancelled a bunch of orders."  The other guy's response was "we got all this stuff here anyway."  This shop does have a sales floor full of bikes, that many more outside and a storage room in the bike 60-70 full of uncrated new product.

Or if you want an "original" SEEG, they have a blue and black at HD of Sacramento.  It has low miles (seems like around 7k) and I think it's a consignment bike so you could get it down.

[erniezap]

Ernie, do you dare pick a favorite?  Or just love them both?

It's funny.  They are the same bike but very different so I can't say one is better than the other.  The cherry is louder, a little more vibration, feels a little quicker and meaner.  The pumpkin with the Freedom pipes is quieter, faster, and a smoother.  It just depends upon the mood.  I do have to say that the pumpkin draws a LOT of attention though.

O.K. one is quicker and the other one is faster   Which one gets you there first?     And this wouldn't even be a question if you had a blue and black.

I've had the pleasure of riding JR's, 07hd110's (back when he had one), and Twolanerider's SEEGs.  Each one is totally different from one another and none of them are a bit like mine.  It's incredible how different one bike is from the other, even though they're the same.  (Did I make any sense there? )
