Floppy since your post was requesting technical information about a specific model bike I moved it to the appropriate board so you will get the answers you desire. If you want to start another thread in the new member section to introduce yourself feel free to do so.

Ride Safe,

No one knows... Will just have to wait until one lands here I guess.

I have found some new photos on a Japanese HD site. This version should be what is also heading to Oz. No side number plate and different mufflers.

I actually prefer the look with the number plate on the rear instead of the side plate.

At first I like the black/silver but once I had seen the top of the tank was almost all chrome, I couldn't have it. The heat and reflection from the sun would be horrid as our sun is very unforgiving here for most of the year. So I have gone with the Crimson Red instead. Can't wait to get it!

Not sure who took the pictures but they are marvelous. this is not a practical bike for me, but the more I see pics of it the warmer I'm getting. If I actually saw one in the metal, I might have to chain myself to my bike. Does look a mile long in the first pic, doesnt it?? Pork.

That red sure looks nice too! I've got a black/silver one coming to me in Hawaii so I'll be sure to find out first hand about the reflection and heat from the polished tank. I get blinded when I gaze down at the chrome center strip on my softail convertible . . so I simply don't look down on it while riding. After all, we're supposed to keep our eyes on the road and the pretty girls in bikinis. The instrumentation is more forward on the tank and handle bar so I think I'd be less inclined to look directly on the polished area. I went with the black silver combo because I felt it was a classic color combo especially with the red pin striping. My concern was that over time, some of the other color combos might be too trendy and I'd grow tired of it . . . a big concern 'cause this will likely be my last bike . . . just like my last last bike. Wish I could see all three in the metal and then make my choice.

I hear what your saying... It was hard putting down some coin for a bike I've never seen let alone all these new colours as well.

You will be over the moon when you see it, i did the same with my SG. ordered it 9 months in advance and not seeing the colour was nerve racking but once I set eyes on it I was gob smacked.

gmeikle · « **Reply #10 on:** October 21, 2012, 08:22:15 AM »

You hit the nail on the head mate, that Japanese spec is most prolly the EXACT bike we'll get in Oz

Those look like Heritage / Nightrain / Rocker / Custom tapered catalytic converter mufflers.

And that's for sure the number plate setup we'll get.

Indeed ALL of the HDI ( Harley'D International !) bikes will most likely be the same

Nice lookin bike.

Just heard on Saturday that ALL of the Aussie allocation are "sold" at $43K Australian, so yer now too late ...

In 3 years you'll get a used one out of Japan for way cheaper money if you can get to it before the "grey import entrepreneurs"..

Fisherman · « **Reply #11 on:** October 22, 2012, 02:08:00 AM »

Nice bike and some great photos first set i have seen showing the licence plate which look great not to sure about the mufflers ,trouble is Harley UK have no idea which set are being shipped to the UK ,are you guys down there going to keep it standard or change the mufflers ? I have one in gold coming with the hope that any sun we might have does indeed reflect up on me to at least to give me the illusion of a sunny day !!

Bretto · « **Reply #12 on:** October 22, 2012, 06:00:19 AM »

This is most likely the international version so all bike outside the US could look like this.

As for the exhaust I'm not sure yet. Either some tried and tested S&S slipons or V&H big shot staggered. Oh plus I'm planning on putting on some apes.

LovemyCVOgirl · « **Reply #13 on:** October 23, 2012, 02:05:40 PM »

I agree with everyone. This is a beautiful MC, but just not practical for me. $:-\$ . I need my fairing, lowers, tunes and windshield. Now 30 years ago...,

Bretto · « **Reply #18 on:** November 20, 2012, 03:04:35 AM »

Well today I've been told my bike gets shipped on the 25th January 2013. Then it takes 50 days to get from the USofA to the land of Oz. And then another 5 days from when it gets off the boat and arrives at my dealer.

So it's going to be a late march delivery for me! I just hate waiting!!!

Bretto,
Not sure if you have seen the Breakout yet but just to wet the appetite.
I lay my eyes on one at the Melbourne Bike Expo today and it looks great, you sure have a nice bike on the way.

CVO's have hit our waters early this year, I sighted a Red Breakout at the Bike Expo in Melbourne a couple of weeks ago and a Roman Gold Road Glide Custom in HH. Both Sold

gmeikle · « **Reply #26 on:** December 09, 2012, 04:14:14 AM »

Saw the Black and Silver Breakout yesterday in Frasers Perth

Pride of place at the showroom door , although sold and going 250 K's away next Friday apparently .

Responses were generally good , with the exception of the " grey" ( gray to the US dudes ) frame !

Maybe it will be less "noticeable" under 100% natural light .

Personally I had way more to like than dislike .

The Green / Gold bike will have a "black" frame , seems so in the brochure anyways.

Bretto · « **Reply #27 on:** December 31, 2012, 05:54:03 AM »

Anyone in Oz got their bike yet? Have herd that some are slowly arriving at dealers.

Mine is still end of March ATM.

Dave H · « **Reply #28 on:** December 31, 2012, 05:14:38 PM »

It's on the boat Bretto , probably same boat as yours - Oluf Maersk - Currently on way to Aukland . Then on to Melbourne I guess .
So March delivery for my Pagan Gold .
At least we can now say we will have it this year

Bretto · « **Reply #29 on:** December 31, 2012, 11:57:12 PM »

That's a good way to look at it Dave. We get them this year! Lol

Last update I had was that mine to be shipped around the 25th of Jan then the 50+ days to get here and some more to get from Melbourne up to the Dealer.

At least it's getting closer and closer everyday.

Bretto · « **Reply #30 on:** February 04, 2013, 04:39:48 PM »

I got the call yesterday that my bike hit the water on the 2nd of Feb. So I should get it in the last week of March!

Plus they had a Gold one arrive yesterday and the new owner cant pick it up for 2 weeks (It has been held up due to our floods). So today I'm heading in to finally see one in the flesh!

Hey Dave were did you get yours from?

Bretto · « **Reply #34 on:** February 04, 2013, 09:08:17 PM »

Well got to see the gold one but it was in still in pieces. Bars, tank and seat removed.

WOW what a rear end! And those wheels are sweet!

The gold tank you could really see the swirls in the metal under the liquid gold finish. That made me glad I went with the Crimson. The swirls made it look unfinished.

Will go back in early next week and see it assembled with 14" apes.

Yeah they are great people that's for sure . The Shop was really badly affected by the floods , and I hope they can bounce back . They will need lots of support , and they are a great team .

hey everyone i got my crimson red one last month i must have got one of the first ones to land , one thing ive noticed and i expect everyone that has one will is the lack of ground clearance , fist couple of roundabouts i came across scraped the piss out of it, also you will notice the right fwd control brake pedal does not line up with where your foot sits, when go to engage the pedel you have to position your foot on an angle or moe you foo completly inwards , not sure if the usa model hve the same dramas let me know

Guys I finally got mine !
It is worth the wait .
So much rain about at moment and with work I have only done 80km , but awesome ride

Will post some pics when I get a chance , the dealer but some VH slip-ons on her till I decide what to do with pipes , sounds great but maybe even a bit too loud

Dave

Bretto · « **Reply #40 on:** February 27, 2013, 05:35:39 AM »

Thats awesome Dave

Looks like a boat load must have arrived... Rocky, Gladstone and Bundy stores all have breakouts.

Only a few weeks left for me to wait.

Bretto · « **Reply #41 on:** March 08, 2013, 02:11:25 AM »

Woot Woot the slow boat docks in Melbourne tonight! So only a week away from getting my bike!

Dave H · « **Reply #42 on:** March 08, 2013, 04:54:44 AM »

Hopefully this rain will clear up so we can start to enjoy our bikes

CVOSE Breakout · « **Reply #43 on:** March 08, 2013, 06:34:48 AM »

Hey Bretto, where do you get your info from regarding arrival dates. My dealer knows very little and tells me that he thinks my bike is on a boat.

Dave H · « **Reply #44 on:** March 08, 2013, 06:44:23 PM »

The dealer should be able to give you the name of the cargo ship your bike is on , then you can track it on "Marine traffic " website - just google your ship name details - go to Marine traffic site .
Mine was 2 weeks after docking in Melbourne , Unload , custom's , then road transport was 2 weeks .

CVOSE Breakout · « **Reply #45 on:** March 08, 2013, 10:25:33 PM »

Thanks Dave, my dealer (Morgan & Wacker HD) can't answer the question. The salesman said that he thinks it's on a boat but cannot confirm. Pathetic. Have even tried to find out by contacting HD head office in Lane Cove Sydney. They cannot answer the question either. I ordered mine on the 24th August and am happy to wait but it would be nice to know the bikes status. Thanks for replying Dave.

Bretto · « **Reply #46 on:** March 08, 2013, 11:36:43 PM »

Hey CVOSE BREAKOUT,

If you dealer has been given a VIN # then they will be getting updates. Once your bike is placed in shipping they are told the Vessel name.

M&W are a big dealer so the Salesman might no be told much. Tell him to talk to their stock controller get you your Vessel name. But I warn you it is an evil thing watching the ship sitting in dock then doing only 18knots day after day, week after week!!

Bretto · « **Reply #47 on:** March 08, 2013, 11:38:52 PM »

Dave H,

You bike would have been held up due to the Floods as it should only take 5 days from Dock to Dealer.

CVOSE Breakout · « **Reply #48 on:** March 09, 2013, 06:07:56 PM »

Ok cheers, I'll talk to the stock controller on Monday and see how I go. I know what you mean regarding vessel monitoring, so it's probably not a bad thing not knowing earlier.

Bretto · « **Reply #49 on:** March 15, 2013, 12:46:31 AM »

Well f#@king great news! My CVO Breakout and some others, well actually a container full has been sitting on the dock in Melbourne for the last week doing SFA! Due to some issue with customs or the freight company the container hasn't yet made it to the HD Distribution Centre (CAT).

So instead of talking delivery on Wednesday when I get home from work, I'll now be lucky if it gets to the dealer by end of next week!

Layin the Pipe · « **Reply #50 on:** March 15, 2013, 12:56:20 AM »

Patience grasshopper. A week and a half will totally suck balls, but at least you know its in country. I suggest drinking heavily to pass the time. Nevermind, that might make it worse. lol
