Are those the stock bars? Whats with the gap between the master cylinder and taper on the bar? Now I don't feel so bad about my custom bars that my local couldn't mate nicely.

I'm not crazy about that gap either.  I don't know, but it seems like the bar could be trimmed for a better fit in that area.

I think it would have looked better had they painted the inner fairing one of the colors on the rest of the MC.  

Isn't the inner fairing the same color as the stripe on the tank, side covers, rear fender, front fender and saddlebags?

  yes,  I dont understand why they think it dont match?  the 12 used the second color also on the inner fairing....

For me that's great as I don't want any of that stuff, no back rests, tour pacs, lowers, etc.

I like that the passenger seat comes off, sweet. 

Hot Rod mode most of the time.

Call me stupid....but what is the second rocker switch on the right side of your gauge cap?  One is obviously for the cruise control....but the 2nd one?  Pretty sure my buddy's '12 doesn't have that.

I don't know about the '12 Skunk...but, on the '12 Maple, the inner fairing is in the Primary Color --- Maple Metallic.

The second rocker switch next to the cruise control switch is for Accessories and is labeled ACC --- and yes the 12's had the same set-up

Doh!  I forget about the useless ACC switch.  Thanks for the reminder.

On the skunk the inner fairing is the Lower secondary color, stardust black.

On the blue, I believe the inner fairing is the lower secondary color also.

Has anyone gotten a good look at the CVO Anniversary color.  Does it pop?  Looks somewhat drab online.  I'm trying to decide between the Crushed Burgandy or Anniversay scheme on the FLHRSE5.

I saw both colors this weekend.  The Crushed Burgundy is really very striking-the paint has gold flecks and in the sun it is really dramatic. I don't normally like red bikes but this one was sweet with all of the contrasting chrome. The Anniversary paint scheme is a litle more muted but very rich looking and it looks much better outside in natural light.  It is more gray than blue and has other metallic colors that appear in direct sunlight. The Blacked out engine helps add to the muted look.

That's probably a good call on the Skunk....otherwise you'd go blind

I had the silver 09 CVO road glide, and with the bright sun to your back the gages and inner fairing blinded you.  So you are right.
