Thanks everyone.  Spent last evening getting some of my 'must have' items on the bike to make it more rideable for me - footboard extensions, angle highway peg mounts, extended shift levers, etc.  Now I'm trying to figure out this infotainment system.  That's going to take a while for sure.   

  Fun setting a new bike up like you want it. It took a while to figure out the old HD radio.  Good luck on figuring out the newfangled Infotainment screen.  Some electronics just seem to be more difficult than others, and HD seems to prefer that type for some reason.

Congrats Jerry!!! Best of luck to you, may you have many miles of smiles ahead of you. Now we'll get some real world miles tested data.

 
Ride Safe,

Hang in there with the infotainment. I rented a Ultra Limited last year for a week. It was a little frustrasting at first. Particularly with some hand controls reversed from right to left. But over the course of the week the organization of the menus and controls slowly started to make sense. We rode 200 miles a day and it really didn't start to become intuitive for me until just before I turned the bike in! But the new infotainment was one of my motivations for a new bike. I was just waiting for a new engine to push me into a new bike. Looking forward to joining you next month when my bike comes in.

Thanks Gary.  I'm plan to test it out thouroughly.

All the new infotainment systems in vehicles seem to be overly complex from what I've read.  My newest vehicle (well other than my motorcycle, lol) is a 2006 so no infotainment system there.  I've heard that Ford and Mercedes customers have complained about their systems - and many others as well I imagine.  When trying to be all things to all people it can get a bit deep to say the least.  Hopefully, I'll master the basics quickly so at least I can listen to music and navigate, lol.

I can't wait. Same color on order.

Bill, it really is a stunning bike.  I've always been partial to the H-D official black and orange and the 2012 is a beaut.  Always been partial to the moco offical black and orange colors but I'm really digging this silver and blue.  You will also.

Congrats, Jerry!  Great looking bike!  I agree it's time to move on.  Be interesting to see how this one serves you, if nothing else.

My eyes are probably just playing tricks on me, but it sure looks like the tour-pak LEDs are wrapped around and sitting on top of the rear lid hinge.  Say it isn't so.

Please say it ain't so!! Anyone able to post pics of a another 2017 CVO Limited TP hinges to see if this is a one-off or a TP LED mounting template issue? It should be an easy fix but may require drilling new mounting holes for the TP LED. It looks like its mounted abit too high on the TP.

True, I have 3 newer vehicles, all different brands, all the "radios" were no fun to learn beyond basics.  No pattern either, all 3 are different & have individual quirks.  You will figure out what you need to work & how to work it, just wishing the process was simpler here.

A very beautiful bike!

Congratulations on a beautiful bike!  After all those miles and all those break downs, you deserve this new bike.  I hope it performs flawlessly, for many miles to come!

Yeah, good eye!  Sorry to see that got past their service & sales department.

Congratulations!  She is a beaut! I just use the basics on the info system (radio and nav). When planning on a longer trip I refresh my memory a little since I will be changing stations and media etc.  I like the navigation and just took the time to set the basics up to match what I like.  Good luck and I can't wait to hear how she does!

I photo shopped that pix just to see who the eagle eye would be that caught it, lol.  Well other than I don't have photo shop and wouldn't know how to use it I have no explanation other than an optical illusion due to the angle of the shot I guess.  Anyway you can clearly tell here that the hinge is not under the LED bar - thanks goodness!

A collective sigh of relief!
