FLHTADTSE1

Yes.  One of the "Choose Your Own Color" bikes.  Owner can pick from 5  primer  "flat denim" HD "special" colors at only $499 a can (pack of 2 cans minimum) & rattlecan their own paint job.

Color matched tires to the paint are rumored to be on hold until 2020, because the MoCo  has not convinced Dunlop to make red, blue, green, & grey tires so far.

HD electric bikes will not be DC or AC, they will run on HC (Harley Current),  CVO models will run on SEC (Screamin' Eagle Current).  This electricity will cost twice as much & last half as long.  California will require a special Cali EPA electricity filter to be added to all their bikes to reduce stray voltage emissions, which will add $1497.89 to the MSRP.

If keeping on the same trajectory, the CVOs will have more black and less chrome. The paint schemes will be less exotic than years past and more like what one would find on a standard production bike.  However, the CVOs will still be priced as if the bikes were loaded with chrome, very custom paint, color-matched frames, etc. 

The MoCo has slowly changed the CVOs to be produced at a lower cost, while raising the MSRP.  I expect that trend to continue in 2019.  I'd like to know what the profit per unit is on a CVO produced in 2003 vs 2018.  I think we'd be shocked.

The reality is that the profit margin at HD is actually far lower today than it was in 2003. Margin has gone to crap which is hard to believe with the scale of their annual price increases. Costs are just out running the price of the bikes. Pensions, Labor, materials and assembly costs. HD needs to get a handle on their internal costs if they ever hope to get to their margins of the past.

In Sturgis this week....Not many rumors or theories except more boring blacked out, Denims, with no character.  One thing that people from all over are hearing is reverse will be an option /or standard for at least the Ultras.  HMMM.....in less than two weeks we will know.

Harley actually doing factory ordered options would be a surprising option.
