A CVO Ultra? How do you know what colors they are making or if you will like them? Does your money down just give you first pick and I hope it is refundable if the bikes don't suit you.

Sounds good with no risk why not. Sorry I can not help you with your original question.

The SEUC's are cash cows for the MOCO, so I'd bet my next paycheck that they will have yet another year. They've been doing them every year since '06, and selling them all, so why not.

It's been done many times over. I remember back in the day when you might have to put a deposit down a year in advance.

I put down a deposit on my 04 SEEG. Didn't know what they were going to have for 04 MY but I had first right of refusal. The same for the 2010.....I was first on the list and Jon (Jonga) was second. We both ended up getting our bikes at other dealerships and we got our refunds.

Some members here have put down a deposit at two or three dealerships in order to get their's soonest.

How much is a customary or usual deposit?

Even at $500 and no deal on a bike I could use that credit balance in a year no problem. Heck the wifey buys that much in shirts.

Depends on the dealer...some $500, some $1,000, from my experience. I put $500 on my '06 in March, and it didn't come in until the very end of May.

If I was committed to buying a new bike that would not be a problem. My luck would be the dealer down the road would get the bike first and for less.

It depends on the dealership.......some want $1k, others only want $500. It has to be refundable if they can't produce a VIN number at the time you leave a deposit. Not sure if that's nation wide or just Calif.

**EDIT** Looks like Terry beat me to it.

By the way, that's why some people leave deposits at two or three dealerships.....first one that gets it in gets the sale and they go get their deposit from the other dealerships.

Wow what a great way to torture a dealer. Here you can hold and smell my money for a while but if your not on the ball I'll come back and get it and give to the competitor.

It would sting even more if you just had them send the money directly to the other dealer.

Really, it's just a matter of who gets their bike in first, all other things being equal...like price, and how the dealer treats you. I waited an extra month to get my '06, mostly because they gave me a good deal, were nice to me, and did everything above board. I drove 250 miles from B'ham to do business with this dealer...twice...once to sign papers when the bike came in and was still in the crate, and then again a week later to pick it up.

Most dealers understand about these deposit things and there's no hard feelings, because they're going to sell the bike regardless when it get there.

I always do this to save a spot in line. If you don't you might miss out on the bike you want in the color you want

1sharprdkg · « **Reply #17 on:** June 09, 2011, 05:52:22 PM »

Yeah, if you don't get your name on the "list", somebody could just walk in and say I'll take that one.

greglyon · « **Reply #18 on:** June 17, 2011, 09:16:30 AM »

Did I miss the answer or have we got sidetracked. When is the dealer summer show. What are the rumors for this year's cvo lineup?

DavidB · « **Reply #19 on:** June 17, 2011, 11:19:03 PM »

I would worry the dealer could file for bankruptcy protection between now and then.

PMG1 · « **Reply #20 on:** June 18, 2011, 09:07:50 AM »

First of all they always make a SE Ultra Classic and 3 colors will be the option. Each year I leave my dealer $1,000 to get my choice of any SE that were to come out. A week after the dealer meeting I like a bike or not they hand me my check back. Problem is for example you like the Black (whatever bike) and that is the 3rd color delivery of that model you can sure wait a while! Example my 09 Silver SE RG was delivered May 18th after they were unveiled at the dealer meeting in late July. Just no way of knowing who will get what when. Thinking back maybe my dealer (who is also a personal friend) got the Silver early and a customer was retiring really wanted it so I kindly stepped aside and let him have it not knowing they were not going to get another one for 9 months!! Also get some sort of deal on paper. A deposit is great and then they want $2,500 over MSRP for their SE and then your deposit means nothing. At least in my opinion. Good luck always cool to see the new bikes. Best of luck

Two pages of this stuff and no one has mentioned where the dealer show is this year... & I'm too lazy to look elsewhere. Anyone help out here?

Here is some of the story about the new bikes. I haven't had time to go over it yet though.

Somewhere around the last week of July in Anaheim, CA. Week to 10 days before Sturgis (approx)

CVO's will be Ultra, Street Glide, Convertible again, and the RoadGlide is going to be the Custom this time. All this according to the CARB filing.

Also, the 103 will be standard in all Touring and Softtails. The 96 will be in the Dyna's. 110 in the CVO's.

Big Dog · « **Reply #27 on:** June 24, 2011, 06:02:42 PM »

Dang, I was hoping the 120SER would of made it into the CVO line, oh well. Maybe a change out of the 110 for a 120SER right out of the box at the dealer for the difference and install in a new CVO RG Custom is in the future. I know my dealer would do it and warranty his install too.
