Title: Best CVO Colors or Paint Scheme Ever
Post by: Twolanerider on July 02, 2021, 10:13:14 PM
Was chatting with one of the brethren earlier and this question came up.  Seeking a larger data set than just the two of us for any final resolution of the question am posting here also.  Site limited to only five options for a poll but, honestly, that seemed plenty to list the obvious options for all time best.

That's not a bad data set to choose from either.

Yeah, I did like that one too Dan.  Nice looking paint.  Maybe the poll only needed on option?  Just "all the good red ones."

That orange and black 09 was sweet.  An excellent homage to the first gen SERG's.  The orange and black then too was a sweet bike.

Truly can't knock the 09s. That was a good year.  I'm convinced should be an option.  Naitram still only allows five poll options though.  He's harsh that way.  So edited to the poll to include the 09s.

I still think the 02 Candy Brandy Road Kings are the best though.  But it's a tough competition.

Dammit Mike.  I always forget the V-Rods.  I rode TC's when down in Alabama once too.  It was a hoot.  You're right too, those were sharp bikes.  May need to edit the poll whether Naitram likes it or not.....

While the Moco has put out a lot of nice CVO paint jobs. The one that set fire to the CVO craze was the 2004 FLHTCSE models. The Moco built 2800 total units in 2 color schemes that went worldwide. 1 week after they were unveiled EVERY UNIT was spoken for. Dealers that had them were marking them up as much as 10K. You couldn't get one unless you had the big cash or you knew someone. And remember this was 18 years ago and the list price of the bike was 28,495.00. I saw them going for as much as 40K. So even though we have witnessed a lot of nice and some not so nice paint schemes. It all goes back to 2004. And also remember the 2004 models were not the first CVO or as they were known back then. The Screamin Eagle Models.

And that is why the 2004-2005 FLHTCSE models are leading in the polls. Us old CVO veterans can still remember back in the day.

Amen Michael.  I had a really nice 2000 Road King then.  Was a slick bike that I knew I was nowhere near done playing with yet.  No way I was getting rid of that bike.  I'd always regretted missing out on the 2000 SERG's but they were impossible too.  So this Road King was pushed to the nines.  No way I was getting rid of that bike.  Then I saw the red SEEG.  Ooops.  Bye bye Road King.

It was the 04 pumpkin bikes that first got my attention and had me sniffing about the time I got a first glimpse of the red 05s.  I was lucky and only had (I think I remember right) five or six week wait for my red one.  The Red Bike was awesome.  All the SEEGs were awesome; except maybe the green ones.  But even they did not suck.

I really surprised myself when I sold my 05.  That bike was everything I'd want it to be.  Good looking machine and strong and really dialed in to me.  But I wasn't using it.  At that time had just finished building the Road King and used the Road Glide for any trip of any distance. It was, in my mind, too nice a bike not to get used.  Sold it to a gentlemen that then had some health issues and I don't think he's hardly used it.

It was a long wait... when I was told they were doing all Black/Blue first then Orange/Black I thought I was getting pranked. Fortunately some of the wait was during the winter when I wouldn't/couldn't ride. During the wait I planned a trip to Sturgis Bike Week with some friends without possessing a bike. :nervous: Was told the bike would be shipped end of June/first of July... luckily bike showed up on time. I broke the bike in, did the first service and off to Sturgis on time.

The thought has occurred to me.  Actually with some variation.  I've thought about finding some old red SEEG.  Not care about mileage.  Just one that's not dinged up.  Then doing through the process again.  Perhaps avoid some redundancies.  I enjoy the process.  But after the move in 2018 I don't have room for another bike.  So, apparently, three red bikes is enough  :nixweiss: .

So here's an interesting side story. I was on my 2000 SERG (Orange/White/Black) when in comes the most beautiful Brand New 2004
SEEG (Orange/Black). I went right over and started asking about his bike. I knew right than I had to have one. I actually owned both at the same time for a few years. That guy that rode in on the '04 that day was Fired00d! The only time I ever met him, And before we were members of the CVO Forum.

I remember stopping at a McDonalds on the way to meet the CVO bunch about 10 miles outside of York. I was so cold my hands were shaking uncontrollably. I'm not a fair weather rider by no means. But coming off The Mountain that morning was pretty cold. Yes I still remember that day very well.

We even got to see them building the CVO's by hand back in the old Bomb Factory. What a good time.

I sold Punkin to a good friend last December. Everyone I know flipped out when it did finally happen. I saw him and the bike on July 4th at the Barbara Fritchie Classic.

WTH!!! Can't believe you sold Punkin... lucky for you, you can/will get it back. I guess it was easier to sell it with other bikes in the stable... for me mine is a keeper as I know I will not be getting another/anymore motorcycles. Father time and lack of a desire to ride is creeping up on me with my saddle time getting less & less every year.
