thats my settlement with MoCo. They offered me a 18 but I waited for a 19 hoping they would fix the sumping issue. What I mean by "time will tell" if they fixed it or not. Rep swears they have..

Which color Alan?

Am I the only one that could give a rat's ass about the information center on the bikes?  Truth be told I have yet to turn on the radio on my 17 CVO.  I get irritated when I hear guys having their mega speakers blaring as they putt down the road.  Now get off my grass!

Hoping all that makes the leap for a new model gets a reliable machine and not the new year problem. I just don't see the exchange of Black for chrome and still the prices keep rising. The paint jobs just aren't that special for a bike over 40k. But that is just MHO.

Going with the Maco Shark Fade. Spoke to the service MGR at my dealer today and he spoke to the actual engineer that was on the team from Harley that made the design changes in the motor for the 19's at the dealer meeting. though if I tried to say what the design change was I would completely screw it up (not mechanically inclined) when he explained it to me it did make sense why it seems to be working. He said they have been installing new design in sumped motors for the last few months (Heatwave?) and not one has sumped. I have been trying to not let myself get my hopes up that new bike would not have a issue but after talking to him today I am now completely "all in" and excited! Bad news is if new bike sumps I will now be heart broken.
Good news is I love the looks of the "Fang" spoiler and that color on the new bike!

I am enthused but no one wants to hear it. I think the colors are way better than last year. I like the idea of a new (hopefully improved) entertainment and navigation system. I like the 114" on the "Specials" and I like the new FXDR with a 114". Maybe it looks like a "YammY" but then that must be one good looking Yamaha. Oh, and I like the Chin Spoiler/Sideburns on the CVO Road Glides.

So all you haters, just SHOOT ME!

I'm with you Simon, I really do like the FXDR. I think It's a sharp looking hot rod.

Good deal. I'm pretty sure I'm not going to want to see that color in person. Only room for one bike in the garage and it better have the creature comforts for touring on it for the Mrs.

Once you get it in your hands, get it out in that Cali sun and get us some real good pix.

Black for chrome and less exotic paint, price stays the same or increases = more MoCo profit.  The MoCo has slowly taken away from the CVOs.  Remember when CVOs all had color matched frames?

Then the few that do have some chrome it seems the exhaust is some kind of satin chrome or something. At least from the website pictures. I have not seen anything in person. How hard is it going to be to find matching slip on mufflers for those bikes??

[T-Roy]

I really wish they would put the front lowers with speakers on the Road Glide CVO!!!

[OBB]

Will do

If ya get it today by chance, ride it over to Vegas so I can see it. I'm here for a few days. Lol

Sent from my boring Droid phone.

Went to 3 different dealers today hoping to see the bike in person but no one had it. I did see the Silver RG and it looks way better in person than the pics. The new infotainment system is awesome! I turned the silver bike on and the system came on in less than half the time and though I only played with it for a couple of minutes before a salesperson came up and ended my fun I loved it. they have definitely moved into the 21st century as far as piece goes. I also thought the 21inch front wheel looked great.
cant wait now to see the Mako Shark Fade in person-especially if its mine..

[FLSTFI Dave]

Alan,

Have they told you how long until you will get your new bike?

[Billy]

So does anyone know if and how they fixed the sumping problem? Thanks Billy

The proof of the pudding is in the eating.  Or... they're still brand new.  Even the vent that's a retrofit to some 18s is new enough no one should dare accept it as a "fix" yet.  Everyone will simply have to wait awhile and see what the fleet performance actually has for its story.
