Scarlet is home
« on: November 25, 2009, 07:09:27 PM »
Brought the Candy Sunglo / Autumn Haze ConV home last night.

We purchased it for my wifey and she absolutely loves her new bike. We hope to enjoy our new 2010 CVO's together. She finally got a chance to ride her this afternoon and had a great time.  She loved the ride but doesn't like the short windshield which blasts her face.

Does anyone know if HD makes a taller windshield for the ConV yet?

Oh yea...  picture included (first rule and all) Notice the look of the bike with the mustache bar. We think it really adds to the bike.

Congrats!!
I really like that color combo ... looks like I know what you'll be giving thanks for tomorrow  :)

I know we're not supposed to be that shallow, so you can just "think" it ... hehehe

Enjoy!

Very nice color indeed.  Everybody else is buying inferno orange ones.  Dare to be different.  Plus its the only style that has that cool color grind.  Be sure to visit the other thread concerning adornments for your convertible.  She will be very pleased with the bike.

Thanks for the comments guys..  she really does love the bike.

About the windshield though...  I think I have a solution.

The windshield off of my 05 SEFB fits the ConV. It actually looks pretty good but I hope it to be temporary. I will ride it tomorrow and get the bike up to speed and see how it works. If this does I will post a part number and a picture if anyone else wants to try this too.

I have the same bike and love it. Congrats on the purchase just wondering why you are referring to the color as "Candy Sunglo" my bike says it is Crimson Red Sunglo/Autumn Haze/Metal Grind. Just wondering?

I'm diggin the Engine Guard on there and you are right about the windshield, I wish Clearview would make one for it.

Also did you do anything with the pipes? The bike is really quiet, and I cant decide what kind to put on it.

Obviously you are correct... Wifey has been calling it Candy so I just picked it up.

Have to give her credit on the mustache bar as she liked the one on the SESG and wanted one. It worked out nice we think. I have her a set of 360 mounts and the matching pegs on order.

The bike has only been here for 24 hours so there isn't really anything I've done to it yet and not sure what pipes she wants at this point and will do my own Dyno tuning. I did however change the shift linkage as it is was very plain looking, added an oil temp gauge and a tender cable to it then moved the key fob antenna as the alarm would go off with either fob in my pocket. After that I adjusted the bars and grip controls to fit her better.  Was at work most of the day so I need a little more time with it.  ::)

Happy Thanksgiving to everyone, hitting the sac.

Beautiful bike. Even though I have a 2010 I still think the Autumn Haze, like the 06 SEUC is the best looking color.

Follow up...

This is what the ConV looks like with the windshield changed out.

She took her for a ride today and said the wind was fine now. We are hoping there will be a larger windshield available so the stock fairing can be installed.

I agree that might be the way to go for now. Can you post some more photos when you get time?

Thanks
