Are all 2011 FLTRUSEs created equal ... apparently not. I haven't seen any posts about this yet but here goes. I took delivery of my 2011 FLTRUSE Rio Red/Black Ember on Aug 31 and until yesterday I had not seen another Rio Red/Black Ember bike in person. I have seen many pictures that you guys have posted of your bikes but never noticed until yesterday. You're not going to believe this but my rear fender and filler strips are Black Ember not Rio Red. It gets even better. On the other bike the gas lid (no emblem) and tank console (plain black insert) like the non-cvo ultras. My bike has the bar and shield emblem on the gas lid and the carbon fiber looking tank console insert. 

I know ...

 

As soon as the sun comes up I'll take a picture and post it.

I wonder if this is a result of producing the CVO's on the main assembly line instead of being built by a team.

I not sure how the assembly line assembly would cause this. I believe all the painted parts are supplied as required for each model. I believe this may suggest the paint shop messed up.

Is that the way your bike came from the factory?  That is the street glide fascia isn't it?

Sure looks like it

Not Sreet Glide fascia. The SESG's have extended saddle bags and the tail lights are in the fascia, not on the fender!

Not SESG----that looks like the rear fascia from a regular Street Glide....

If you look at the pics on Rob's post ypu can see the difference.  Yours seems to have a Street Glide fender.

I stand corrected.

So some black Street Glide made it out the door with a nice red fender and a rear fascia with lights....  More likely the correct fender didn't get grabbed when it was supposed to and went back to spares.  But who knows.  Line mechanic would have had a heck of a time hooking up those lights to the standard FLXH harness.

I added the streetglide fascia. It was color matched to the fender and filler strips.

You are correct.

As far as I know there isn't a black ember fender for a street glide. Black ember is a new color that would only be available for a cvo.

Looks like you have a one off factory custom!

Careful, they will send you a bill....
