"Quality Control" at HD seems to by an oxy-moron

United States              122,145                 141,101   
Canada                         9,354                   10,376   
Total North America     131,499                  151,477   
Worldwide Retail Sales  185,720                  205,880   

I think there's a lot more than Quality Control at HD affecting these numbers.

Looks like you have a one off factory custom!

That's potentially dangerous though.  Were I a buyer looking at this bike used I'm not sure an owner could convince me it hadn't been wrecked and had the wrong fender put back on it.

Yeah, like lower production numbers maybe?

Good point.

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.

Mystery solved. They put the rear fender and filler strips for a 2011 FLHTCUSE6 Black Ember/Rio Red on my bike.

Question now is are you going to ask them to correct the mistake?

They already asked me and I said no. I actually prefer the black fender.

[harleyman]

ok guys is it just me or maybe i am not seeing right? i went to my dealer today and saw a red FLTRUSE with flame job on front fender   

[RedDevil]

Sounds to me like they've got to get their QA act together on the main plant assembly line.  I don't ever remember the MoCo putting the wrong parts on the CVOs when they were hand assembled.  Looks like their intermixing CUSE and RUSE part.  I guess because they are the the same colors, they can't tell which parts go on which bike.  Maybe they need to put pictures of a completed Red/Black SEUC and RUSE on the line so the good workers can tell the difference in parts.

Gives new meaning to the term factory custom, you just never know what you'll get.

My left side cover belongs on a different bike.

Am I seeing things or are you one of the luckiest men on earth to have a new Red RUSE "AND" still have your Triple Red

I wish, had to let the triple red go.
