On the positive side (such as it is) there seem to be MUCH less problems with the newer bikes that my 08 road king. It spent almost as much time in a shop somewhere than at home. I'm hoping for better this go around.

My 09 had less issues that the 12 (at least out of the box anyway)

there have not been cardboard boxed bikes from the MOCO here in Indiana for more than a year, they ship on a shipping pallet and a cloth/paper cover

hmmmmm maybe they dont have far to travel to go from milwaikee to indiana... but they have to travel pretty far to get here...



AFAIK they are still shipped in boxes which are metal hoops attatched to the shipping pallet and covered with a cardboard box.

Without the hoops it surely would have been on the ground!

WOO HOO Bet it was so exiting unwrapping the beast
Everything in the world would have been blocked out of your mind and the only image and thoughts would have been whats under the cover

My left side saddle bag latch plate was scuffed during shipping as well.  I have an IOU from my dealership for a replacement latch and bag lid.

---out of box-- ferring out of adjustment 3/4 inch closer to gauges on right than on left side
---out of box-- inner ferring screws stripped
---100 miles-- wobble at 30-45mph
---300 miles-- puking oil out of the breather
---500 miles-- noticed the dot 4 brake fluid on the hydraulic clutch cover ruined the black powder coat

Both of my saddle bag latches were scratched along with my inner fairing. Dealer made it right though. Everthing has been replaced

Just a dumb question............would you accept this on your new $32k automobile? I'm thinking NOT!

Sorry to hear about all these problems on the 2012 models. I hope
that all these issues are worked out for everybody.

Knock on wood, but one of the main reasons why I will KEEP my 09'. Last
year of the "Hand Built" CVO's.

Good luck to all and Ride Safe!

I wonder how many more problems are encountered with the SEs being assembly line built as compared to SE team built, some may think no difference but if I went from my 09 SERG which has had little problem thus far (knock on wood) to a new 12 with a problem list with fairly significant issues, I'd say there is an issue.
