FLHTCUSE3 Electra Glide CVO 2008 questions

(1/3) > >>

Hi all
Yesterday I posted the same questions in my presentation but may be it wasn't the right place to get a reply!  :oops:
I just bought a FLHTCUSE3 Electra Glide CVO 2008 with just 8500kms, it was belonging to a collector that basically never used it.
It is in that beautiful copper-gold-black color typical of that year, the 105th Anniversary edition.
The H-D is completely stock including the original tyres that obviously I'll change soon!
I never had before a CVO H-D and my first question is if this model and in particular the 110 c.i. Screamin Eagle engine has some issues and if there is any specific suggestion/modification/upgrade. I'm not searching for more power etc. but I just want a reliable bike that I can use with peace of mind.
Second question is regarding the special paint: with just 8500kms from new my H-D is almost like new but in a couple of places there are small scratches, there is a touch-up paint kit available or at least the paint color codes are available somewhere?
With many thanks in advance and best regards from Italy.

Welcome my friend.. Sounds like a good find... I would be aware of the problematic compensator and would replace the lifters at 20,000 miles. With proper maintenance
you should have a good bike....Have fun..Yea read your year wrong mb. Interesting story on the Italian rules about the tail lights....

   you do indeed have 2008 anniversary model! on this site referred to as a duracell. like the d cell batterys! u will want to make sure the recall was done on this model. anything produced before may 2008 had head gasket issues! i think u can check the harley website and enter the v.i.n. number to find out if the recall was performed. lifter are of main concern on the 110 engine. many threads on this here on this site. use the search engine for tons of info. radio usually need updated on this year model most folks on this site use iron cross audio.hope this helps.the recall has expired and the head gaskets will be ur expense. nice bike :pineapple: :pepper: :2vrolijk_21:

So it looks like someone removed the leather one and painted and installed a Classic tour pack being there are no lights in it.. Sounds like a good find...

Hi thanks for the suggestions but my H-D is a 2008 105 Anniversary CVO, not a 2007 model. The Tour Pack lights were not allowed here due to our regulations, therefore no any CVO sold in Italy was having them fitted.
