Guess I'm the oddball, I’ve owned 3 HD’s with this being my first CVO. Paint rivals any automotive manufacturer out there. I've been around a lot of very high end cars that do not have nearly the level of quality of HD paint. I've only put about 70k on the HD’s I've owned,but the first two never had any issues. I have about 1500 miles on my CVO SG, absolutely love the bike, Black Forrest with no chrome, I do not like chrome(my opinion only) and I will agree their chrome does not look like it used too. Looks like a Chinese product. I have torn all my previous HD’s down and painted/ powder coated all chrome. The new trend makes it easier for me!
