If the CVO line-up is really hand built, assembled, whatever, how hard can it be to walk over and grab a few custom ordered painted parts and slap em on?

From what I understand,  CVO's haven't been hand built for quite some time.  They are an assembly line bike just like the standard models.

Sedona Orange is a darker, burnt-orange color. I think it was used in 2011. My wife almost bought a RK in Sedona Orange.

Tequila Sunrise (non-CVO version) is a very bright orange with several different colors of metal flake in it. I think it was used in 2013. It's a very pretty color that was used with a solid Harley Orange on some of Touring bikes, and maybe the Heritage. I've heard Ultras in this color called  "Creamsicle" bikes. You either love it or hate it!

Let's all support ho hum bikes and the HD shareholders by paying 40k for lack luster. My 2010 just got a lot nicer

I would agree that is a very nice color combination.  Overall I find the 2016's a big disappointment.  Harley Davidson corporate shows a lack of imagination, with basically the same color schemes, same chrome parts bin, and seems to have cheapened up on the CVO's since 2013, while asking for 5gs more than I paid for my 2012 Wicked Sapphire/Stardust Silver.

If I were to buy a Rushmore, I would go for a left over 2015 with 5K knocked off.  There's just nothing new or exciting in the 2016 CVO's imo.  Very little activity on the Harley Forums, speaks volumes about Moco's lack of imagination.

I totally agree!!!!!

Mine was "Hand Assembled" and the Hands still f'd up and I had to tighted a whole bunch of bolts and install a new throttle body gasket as the Hand assembler screwed the throttle body gasket almost blocking the complete hole and had to be staring right at it as he drilled the screws in on purpose.

Terry that issue is worth showing again as it was unfrickenbelievable ...

Yes, thanks Gary. I kept it just like I found it just to remind me of the "HAND BUILT" QUALITY.

Hand built....by a retard!  How could you be THAT off?

 :worthless:it is a great lineup this year, but I love my RG special 2015

[Gerhard]

I totally agree!!!!!

Talking bout the 2016 colours: Has anyone seen the new ones live? My dealer in vienna told me, that the >black licorice with midnight cobalt flames< is actually a very deep purple with well matching blue flames ... Comes that close, or is it just black with a harsh blue (not so good contrast)?

thx all! Gerhard.

Looks like MoCo has something up their sleeves for a mid year release.  Check out the displacement figures on this carb report. (scroll to the third page)

That's quite interesting. Perhaps they are moving away from CVO altogether?

I'm not sure how tight CARB is on exact models - i.e. - if it says "Streetglide" is "CVO Streetglide" acceptable from CARB?
Just seems odd that they would offer the 120 in 6 touring models and none of them have a CVO designation?

[DesertHOG]

my dealer says it's just to cover engine replacement for 120s. we'll see.
