And what the heck will the paint scheme for the tour pack look like on the Streetglide?

[WYD OPN]

Did anyone notice that the color patterns are reversed on the rear fender and saddlebags? For example the fairing, front fender, lowers, tank and side covers have the main color (in this case orange on the Streetglide) with secondary color (black) as accents, and the rear fender and bags are black with orange accents. Looks a little strange from above the bike to see the bright orange tank and the black saddlebag lids and black inner fairing.

This is exactly why I decided on the Dark Slate Candy / Arctic Black over the others.  Less contrast.

Not in the market to replace my '15 RGU but noticed a pic from Boston that not sure what I'm looking at. Looks like a CVO RG but some items don't look like a CVO. Wonder if there are some customs at the show taking a RG Special and adding paint and CVO parts.

On HDs site it list that paint set at $5k plus another $2k for the saddlebags. I did not research it past that to see if that included the front fender or not. I'm guessing it'll be a $45k+ price tag on it by the time it's all done. Only 200 each of that color and the green color will be available.

I'm not impressed with the 2017 paint schemes. Looks like the biggest improvements for the price came in the Ultra Limited.

No reference to a cb but all the pics show dual antennas. I assume one of them must be the cb....right?

Stopped by the dealer again today. Only one antenna on the new Ultras. At least they were smart enough to put it on the hinge side of the TP.

Another year of black motors....even if the paint on the tins looked good enough for me to ride one home, all the black painted parts is a deal breaker for me.  My vote is for more chrome.    IMO, the Street Glides haven't been up to par for a CVO paint job since 2012.

Not a fan of the paint scheme and black engine.
CVO for me is granite engine and more chrome. In 2012 they hit the mark on the street glides excluding the lifters and cam bearings.

Speaking of lifters, the new engines have gone back to the old "C" lifters, even the CVO.

Stopped by the dealer to look over and ride a 2017 street glide special Laguna orange. My first impression is wow, the 107 feels like it has tons of torque from 2000 to 3700 but once you pass 4000 you might as well shift because it seems to fall off quickly. The 10 row oil cooler is huge and there is plenty of room behind it for the fan assist." 0"valve train noise, 1st gear "clunk" is pretty much gone even at temp, no compensator backlash (yet),  no neutral rattle (yet), and vibration is almost non existent. Clutch engagement still at 90% of lever travel. 

Check out the pic. OIL PRESSURE "OK"... WTH. In other words I guess the mothership is telling us ..... don't worry about it.

Exactly!!

Santa Fe Harley still has there's for sale. They did a nice job on it but I think their original asking price was around $52k. To me it's just another fancy Road Glide and doesn't carry value because it's not listed in the NADA book as a HD Model. So you might as well treat it like a RGS with a ton of accessories. And what are those accessories worth after you leave the showroom floor?

So the Starfire Black/Atomic Red is sort of inverted with the rear end being predominately Atomic Red with Starfire Black trim. A plus for those who love "RED".

Agreed.  I was hoping for a different feel. Some people like it but not me.

Black motor depends on the bike.  Loved it on my Skunk, (12 SERG)  its ok on my Anniversary paint SERK.  Do not like it on dark bikes.  Do like it on the orange and the red 17 street glide CVO's but not the gray black one.
