Got a call today, local dealer has a Skunk coming in October.  He said he has about 10 people waiting on it.  Man I want to put some $$ down on it, but i am weary on the smoke paint coloring!  Can anyone tell me the colors used in the graphic?

RUN to the dealer now! if it dont have a deposit.. if you dont like it when you see it, they will usually refund your money...

 Just sayin

I bought 4 bikes from them in 5 years and sent them a few dozen customers.  They all know me and i think they will hold it for me since i told them i want it.  If not, they will find me one sometime between now and March 2012.  If you have one, can you please describe the colors used in grapics?  Is it black with a metal flake?

Here is a pic of my graphics. You can see the gold flames lightly painted in the black. It is complimented with the gold pinstripe between all white/black surfaces.

The flames are "dusted" into the black as opposed to being solid. I hope that makes sense. The  white paint has a goldish/green metal flake tint when the sun is on it. I love the colors on this bike. Even the engine matches with it's gloss black covers

gold and green flake make me beleive it a "emberglow flake" and is beautiful over most any color. awesome!!

The white/gold pearl of pass years does not pop at all, is this really sparkley?

I thought it had a lot of sparkle.  More than the white flake paints used on other non-CVO's of past.  At some angles it appeared to have a yellow/gold tint to the white.

The Skunk has arrived. Pick it up at 12 today and heading to Trail of Tears ride. Put some miles on it this weekend and get the first service out of the way (then x-pipe, mufflers, cams and TTS tuner). Inner fairing has to be replaced ... paint defect. Took a pic of it waiting to get the PDI done and getting delivery of it.

Congratulations!!!! I saw one while I waited for mine and that pearl white just looks amazing.  Enjoy it in good health

I'm glad you got it Joe.  Sorry to hear about the inner Fairing.  I wish I was home for the Tail of Tears.  I have done the ride twice.  Really enjoyed it.  Good way to get some miles on it.

Maybe you'll get to go next year. I've been doing this ride since 2006. Left the truck at the dealership and rode the bike down here.

Glad to hear your extensive wait is over; congratulations!  I know you will enjoy the bike.

I've had mine for two weeks.  Just got the 4" inch Rinehart slip-ons in black.  Seemed to pick up seat/pants hp just by adding the slip-ons and very pleased with the sound.  Low heavy rumble at idle, the bike sounds and runs as good as it looks.  Still going to do the X-pipe, tuner and black heat shields... just because...

Enjoy the ride!

Enjoy the ride.  Let me know what you think about the ride, and the bars compared to the 09 SERG.

I hope my time off next year is different than this year it should be.  I missed some rides I really wanted to do.

The bike handles great. The handlebars are very comfortable. The seat sucks. Guess I'm spoiled after riding on the Hammock seat for the past year. I'll be going to see Vernon at Sports Drive in Vonore when I get back to get the seat re-worked. The power is pretty decent. It's going to be a rocket after all the mods.

I was curious about the seat, did not look to be a long haul seat.  What is he going to do to the seat?

What cams are you going with?  I have been thinking the Andrews 54G but not sure.

If I do have the seat modified I will have the gel pad added under the cover and have the back of the seat built up so it moves me forward an inch or two.
As far as the cams go I have the SE 259Es sitting on the work bench along with the x-pipe, 4" rineharts and the TTS tuner. There are almost identical to the SE 251s that I have in the SERGU and it dyno'd at 107HP and 121TQ.
