Sorry to get everyone's hopes up, unfortunately upon delivery here in Germany the console is not back lit as the sales rep had said. The dam bike was in front of him when he told me it was.

You know what they say....If they're lips are moveing, they're lying.  (Is that what they say?)     har.      spyder

I thought the original 2011 CVO catalogue referenced this feature on the SG spec's.  But I can't find my copy, if someone can confirm with that bit of "published" mis-information perhaps we can get HD to expand parts availability for FY11?   

It is actually on the front cover of the 2011 CVO Catalog.  It is on Page 05 upper right hand corner "Keyless ignition with backlit cvo emblem"

Surely with that statement in writing, the least they should do is make the upgrade available to 2011 owners & forget the ridiculous VIN protected b......t

If its in writing on the 2011 CVO catalog then it would be fair to say that all 2011's should get the back light free and installed as advertised.

Class action.

Thats a discription for the Softail Convertible

I have been looking for someone to send me a CVO catalog, we cannot get then in Australia.
Anyone willing to post one out to me,  

Cheers

Yes it is.. but if they had it for the softail convertible and had it on the cover I think it blows the theory that they could not get it on the Street glide in time...

Which just comfirms that the guy at the HD tent in Sturgis either didn't know what he was talking about, or was just making $hit up, or both.

Not to worry though, enough folks from this site are on the hunt for a solution that one will be found.

Got it.  Been giving this issue deep thought.  Have it sorted now. 

1) Get a flashlight (small)
2) Get a mirror (small).
3) Remove dash from tank
4) Stick mirror on top of tank
5) Drill big hole in dash below area to be illuminated
6) Hold flashight in teeth while riding and shine through hole in dash to bounce off mirror in to area to be backlit.



Voila.  Where's my patent ?

[Fast FLHX]

Sounds like the patent for the new harley liquid cooled v-twin.

 So how many 2011 SG did Harley produce ? If there are enough owners out there who are willing to spend the time contacting Harley to make a complaint, surely they will have to do something, particularly as it was them who advertised the 2011 with backlit CVO panel

The front cover and the statement on Page 05 is for the Convertible, not the Street Glide.

So, to summarize, there's no documentation anywhere promising this little addition would be there.  There's no citation for an '11 actually having it.  As has been the case repeatedly with the CVO bikes the light has shown to be an addition of one year over the prior year.  But many are kvetching they want it anyway.  It's a soap opera; "As the Sprocket Turns."
