Was at a local dealer today and they had a 2 tone cvo sg in grey. Just looked cheap to me. The bottom color that was denim looked and felt like a sticker that was add after the fact. Not sure about the all black either. One of the reasons I got mine was because of all the chrome and it looks different in the crowd, you can tell it is a cvo. Congrats to anyone that gets one and enjoys it, just not my cup of tea.

Which dealer had it? I wanted to see one in person. Thanks.

Just curious SDCVO. We're the ARC 600 amps plug and play or did you have to retire everything, also I assume you installed 4 ohm speakers as well?
IF SO I BET THAT THING ROCKS

I had the system professionally installed and they did rewire. System sounds amazing at all speeds and I wear a ff helmet with CFR mufflers

Was just at the dealer today and got to see the two tone grey SG. Harley website doesn't do the bike justice. Nice looking bike only two things I didn't like was the color of the exhaust and the transition to denim, the denim feels like a decal. I'll give Harley a B+ on this color combo.

Bike looks really nice in the sun.  The transition to denim has the slight raise like a decal because the gloss and clear coat has to be done before you and paint the denim.  Not sure how that could be done so it didn't feel like that.

Excerpt:

10. The glossy/denim dual paint treatment is expensive and was tricky for Harley-Davidson to develop. Harley-Davidson was rightfully proud of Custom Vehicle Operations’ ability to put gloss and denim paint side-by-side on the bags, fairing, and fenders. However, the result isn’t what the designers likely expected. When I saw it, I thought the denim-painted portions were a sticker—not very CVO-like. I queried various uninformed observers, and they all though the denim patches were stickers. Even when you run your finger on it, it feels like a sticker due to the transition. It’s a tour de force technically, but it doesn’t have the desired premium appearance. Check it out in person and decide for yourself.

I'm at the dealer now with the HD tractor trailer full of 18s. They have all three models of the touring line here. The ultra in the faded red color isn't bad, the other two SG/RG are absolutely hideous. In the back of the dealership, they are prepping a RG to sell. It's the same color as the SG, lol. When did the MoCo share exact colors between different models in the same year? What a joke.
