All good comments, I am almost back to the mindset of going stock and building it to my specs...My 07 Ultra came with a host of goodies that I have almost stripped completely off the bike...Just got rid of the Leather Tour pak, never liked it.
I wanted a color matched tour pak...not for my year model...However, available for a stock bike.
As for reading what you write them, that's crap, they don't read chit!
I'm going with a stock Glide next year and just building it up the way I want it.
My CVO has lost an enormous amount of value...Yeah Yeah, if you don't sell it it's lost nothing I hear ya!
Point is, when I pull high dollar chit off it to replace it with more dollars it just makes me think.
The reason I got into a CVO anyway is a friend convinced me that I couldn't build a bike with all that stuff for that price. True, however, I don't want alot off all that stuff.
If MOCO would go to the way it was for cars years ago that'd be real cool...Lots of options and combos, but those days are long gone.
Honda car company is the new model of building, and I'm sure from a business marketing standpoint it works, but it's sad that you can only buy what rolls off the truck.
Happy Thanksgiving y'all
