That's the difference between a "Screamin' Eagle" and a CVO.   :nixweiss:   :nixweiss: 

That's the difference between an SE Road Glide and an SE Road Glide Ultra.  This is not a sport version of a Road Glide but more the full-blown, all the whistles and bells touring version.  If you notice, none of the MoCo's SE Ultras have had eagles on them.

The first two years of the SERG were "full-blown" for the day and had the Eagle on them  :nixweiss:  I just think its a shame the MOCO didn't keep this tradition on the 2011  :drink:

The 00, 01 and 09 Screamin Eagle Road Glides have the EAGLE on them from the factory, the 11 doesn't.
No amount of posturing, justifying or explaining will ever change the above statement.
Until Harley produces another Screamin Eagle Road Glide with an actual EAGLE on the fairing those three years will always be unique and special.
And to quote what you said above,

Would look better and more common sense to have the eagle on the nose, but, It is a very classy bike. I'm sure any RG owner would'nt mind having this one in their stable.

Looks like a "Sunday-Go-To-Church" bike...

So what's your point Chip?  All CVOs are unique in their own way; color, amount/type of accessories or lack thereof.  My point was the 11 SERGU is specifically identified as an "Ultra".  None of the other SERGs were, so there is a difference in model designation and my point was that no Ultras (either EG or RG) to date have had an eagle on them.  Eagle on the fairing or not, it's still an SE CVO.  I don't really need the Eagle on my SERGU to know that.  Even in the non-CVO line there is a distinct difference between the Ultra models and the non-Ultras.   Like another poster said, I don't think there's anyone that would mind having one in their stable.  I sure don't.   ;)  Do I like the eagle on the fairing, sure I do, am I upset that mine didn't come with it?  Not one bit.

So what's your point Chip?  
Do I like the eagle on the fairing, sure I do,

Let me spell it out again.
All Screamin Eagle Road Glides before the 11's had an EAGLE on the bike.
You can explain or try to justify why the 11's don't have one but they don't.
So my point is since you asked, ---> I think it's a shame they didn't carry on the tradition to the 11's.

Well, three model years does not a tradition make, but that's neither here nor there.  I'm not going to try and justify or explain why the MoCo does anything they do.  I was just offering my opinion that the 11s are Ultras and the other three model years weren't.  Whether that's right or wrong as to why they didn't put the eagle on really doesn't make no never mind to me.  :nixweiss:  JMO.

I always enjoy reading how you justify your response.
The Screamin Eagle Road Glide model was first produced in 2000.
Nine years later they produced the 2009 Screamin Eagle Road Glide and even then they kept the Eagle tradition going.
Road Glides in the Screamin Eagle family have had EAGLES in three of the four years produced.
3 out of 4 years of production seems like a tradition to me.
Maybe I'm a traditionalist, I still struggle with why the MOCO changed the "produce a model for just 2 years" program.
