I'm really disappointed that they didn't do everything to the SERGC that they did to the SESG...having the speakers and lowers on the SERGC would really have had me thinking about getting rid of the SESG... None of the new 2012 does anything for me.  Never have been into skulls.

Like you, I really don't get the skull emblem on a screamin' eagle CVO.  Where's the bird?  The design team must have been part of the downsizing at corporate.  :confused5: spyder

X2 there spyder,

It floors me that on a particular bike, the MoCo can both hit a home run and totally miss including an important functional or design cue I.E missing eagle on the SERGs or creating yet another designation FLTR(X)SE instead of FLTRSE4.  The bikes resemble the 09 SERG more than the RGC.

And what imbecile(s) decided to throw the skulls on?  The good thing here is that you can easily remedy that with a heat gun and fishing line...then pop on the Eagle tank emblem from the SESG.

Great idea, except they're prolly gonna make it hard to obtain that screamin' eagle tank emblem from another bike due to 'protected parts'.  :-\ spyder

Spydglide,

Parts are NOT restricted.  I just called my local dealer and the parts guy thought the same as you but after looking them up found they weren't but were pretty expensive at $85.62 each!
 
I just ordered two from Zanotti @ $51.15 apiece

X2!

I like that they are taking chances.  The eagle is too predictable.  Of course, skulls aren't too far off but hey, they're at least breaking the mold of putting eagles on all screaming eagles packages.

You have a point.  These bikes really haven't been Screamin' Eagle bikes for some years.  The MoCo has been putting more emphasis on "CVO" than anything else.  I can't fathom why they even keep the "SE" in the designation...it should really be FLTRXCVO.

It's just the Screamin' Eagle 110 motor that bears the moniker...and really, what on a 110" is different than a stock 103"?  Heads, cams...crank/pistons?  Of those, what do we keep when doing an engin rebuild?...just the heads in many cases.

I join the anti-skull crowd!!! It is a Screamin Eagle NOT a Screamin Skull.
I like the blacked out motor and other stuff but again in my .02 opinion they stopped too soon.....should have a black exhaust, engine guard and fork lowers and maybe some other items too.

Is it really though?  They've been called CVO's for years.  They merely use Screaming Eagle components.  There are several bikes in past years (my 2009 Springer included) that have no Screaming Eagle emblem on them.
