So who has made one and which color? 8)
I just made mine and I'm going for the O/B/S version! :carrot:
I guess it's going to take ages before the international versions arrive to Europe.... :nixweiss:
What a looooong wait it's going to be again, first 2009 SERG and now this beauty! :P
-
I will be buying one for my missus. Haven't decided yet on the color. Will be based on what gets delivered first here. Also given that Europe always gets bikes a few months after US will be good to see live street pictures of bikes in different colors!
-
Yep you're correct, it was the same thing with my SERG.
I learned so much from this site even before I got the bike!
But I'm absolutely sure about the O/B/S color I want, no doubt about it! :carrot:
-
Made mine today! Riptide Blue and Titanium Dust. Will match the misses 08 SE Dyna. We've gotta match ya know? I guess the 06 Autumn Haze clashed!?!
-
Had my dealer tag their first Orange/Black one for me today. It shows a ship date of 8/5 so hopefully it will show up in a couple weeks.
-
But you will keep the SERG, right?
Ride safely,
Louis

Pete congrats on the new ride, when she reachs across the seas to you! Did you order it from SGN bikes?

Thanks Nige, yup SGN!
Louis, I'm not sure about the SERG...
It's a fantastic bike but we'll see..... :nixweiss:

I have not thrown down a deposit yet, but I did contact my sales rep and staked a claim on the first Abyss Blue/Sapphire bike they can lay their hands on. Going to trade my '09 CVO Springer in IF I don't take too much of a bath on the deal....the sales manager won't be back from the dealer meeting until Thursday, and he has the allotments/ship dates, apparently. So, I won't find out until then if this is a do-able deal or what. :nixweiss:

Well, the deal is a no-go. I'd be losing too much on the trade PLUS, as my friend Tim pointed out, the Softail Convertible has very nearly the same features as my '08 SERK, albeit on a Softail frame. I got the '09 Springer for a riding experience that's different from the Road King. Also, I absolutely LOVE the paint on the Springer! Those flames? The color? All the chrome? Yeah, we're keeping the Springer......

Excellent decision man! You've already got the best of both worlds! That SEST Conv won't be able to hold a candle to your SERK!!! :2vrolijk_21: ;)
Hoist! :coolblue:

Thanks! I really love the SE Road King - I'll be keeping that one for a long time. The Springer is a nice bike to ride around town, but for putting on serious miles, got to go with a Touring model.

Just cancelled my deposit couple of days ago.
After giving it a lot of thought I had to let it go. :-\

It's just the feeling I have, I bet you know what I mean by that. ;)
I never wanted that bike because of its "touring" stuff etc., I already own a 2009 SERG.
It was the hot rod color combination of o/b/s that caught my eye first, and I need a "bar bike". 8)
That color on a 2010 CVO Street Glide, what a seller that would have been!
I found a great deal for a beautiful FLSTFSE2 Autumn Haze and Abyss Blue with low miles and that is actually the bike I wanted in the first place but there wasn't one for sale before this one.
It's insanely rare over here in Finland, Scandinavia and I wanted exactly that color.
Don't get me wrong, FLSTSE is a very, very nice bike.
It just wasn't the one for me this time.

Piked mine up yesterday. Rides great, but of course it needs a few upfits. Needs better shocks for sure. You are ok unless you try to ride a passenger.
Then every bump you hit the shocks bottom out. Thinking of Arnott air. Does anyone know of something better.
The rear lights are very weak. Needs LED and pulsing brake lights.
This is an additional bike for me and I wanted something a little quieter than my chopper. This is toooooooo quiet.
Thinking about Vance and Hines pro. Any ideas???

Well, one is in at my dealer. My wife drove it today, she didn't like the clutch and thinks it is too much bike for her. I'm trying to talk her out of it. She thinks that she can get one in a couple of years for halfish of what it is now. they offered her $20,000 and her bike for it (an '04 Low Rider with custom paint and 6000 miles)
What would you tell her to do...keep her low rider or buy the first year of the convertible?
