What kinda $hit is this????
« on: November 08, 2008, 09:13:47 PM »

First of all yes the bike is dirty. 
Now that that's out of the way, lets get down to business.
Who in the moco fell asleep at the switch when they desinged the oil cooler area.  To put it mildly, It looks like an after thought.  Very poorly designed.  I picked up by bike Tues. and couldn't really get to look at it closesly till today.  When I saw the oil cooler area my first thought was, someone here made a mistake and my bike is screwed up.  What gives guys?  I guess I was used to the look of my SEEG, it was a very clean set up.  I also can't beileve that no one had mentioned something about it.  Your thoghts please.  Let's Roll

It's the new design on the '09's see this thread - Does your Cuse4 have the oil hose in front of the cooler like this?

Thanks guys (Neal, BB, Fired00d) for the fast response, I will get a nice beverage and start reading.  Let's Roll

I guess I didn't look in the right place for the thread before I started this one.  Of course someone was all over this and yes it's FUGLY. 

The least they could've done was braided lines, but no.  Let's just run some nasty rubber hoses right in front of this nice chrome reg. Oh! and let's print some big ass white writing on it also.  "Stay Classy San Diego" I mean MOCO.  And I'm back.  That was kinda diarrhea of the mouth.  Man I'm pissed.  I will fill out the survey and let them have it at the end.

Awh, hell, Let's Roll, it's the same manufacturing principle as the rest of world.  You know, like in Mass Production.  The things I didn't like on my Harleys', I changed or got chromed.  Willy G and the rest of his team ain't no rookies.  Get your money out and buy some braided lines and some more chrome!  It's the American way!  ;) There endeth the lesson.  Later--HUBBARD

I hear you Hubbard.  It just was not a nice surprise to find that mess down there.  I'm ok now, good night sleep does the body good.  The soap box is put away.  Let's Roll

I'll take a few hoses hangin down low over the butt ugly design of the new docking system or the crappy hardware. But I'm sure compromises are made to keep production costs realistic. There a few short commings here and there. Mabe HD should offer a finished off SE for 50K.  I'm happy that HD is offering Screemin Eagle bikes... this is my second. I Hope HD does'nt stop producing the CVO line like Ford did with the SVT cars. I had one of those too. I also remember the late 70's and early 80's when you only had crap to choose from. It's all part of the game. Rock on HD!

Will do.  I also agree on the docking hardware.  Let's Roll
