I think it would be better too, I bet if the regular models were experiencing some of these issues with chrome peeling, over-heating of certain models and all the other issues associated towards the cvo line-up. Kinda make ya think with the limited numbers it's not that big a deal to harley, I bet they would correct the Quality issues if it was on their normal production line when they started having 1000's of claims a day from their higher produced bikes. Not knocking the 1 person building a bike thing, but their are definatley issues in their quality management, I know I would have been fired from my Quality/trouble-shooting/QC job a long time ago if I had sent products out over and over and with these issues. Just dreading the thought of all the issues with the 09SE road-glide,is the only reason I haven't bought the one on the dealer floor, 30 grand and then hope and pray it stays together.
