Just like the topic reads, my bro went in for a State Inpection. It ended up costing him $50K.

This is what he rode out with!

beautiful ride!!!  What’s your brother’s take on the fang spoiler.  More for aesthetic vs function (wind diversion)?

[rayson56]

I know I’m nitpicking on the “Cadillac” model of motorcycles, but for $43k, it really should be fully loaded, with the CoolFlow fan, fan assisted oil cooler, etc...


Speaking of which, has anyone noticed if this years SESG and SERG came with the oil cooler fan???

He came from a Street Glide, and I have not spoke to him regarding the ride. I should see him over the long Labor Day Weekend and report back.

I stopped by Adamec Harley-Davidson in Jacksonville, the have already sold 2 Road Glide CVO's for $5k over MSRP, $47k!!! I am keeping my 2013 for a little longer !:orange:

Selling over MSRP is ridiculous.  I would find another dealer, paying MSRP is enough.  I don't know if I have ever run into a dealer here in WI that has done that.

Smokey Mountain HD had the Mako blue fade Saturday.  The color was nice but I could feel my blood pressure rising when I sat on it.  With the handlebars straight, the faring was cocked to the right about 5 degrees.  How in the wide world did the factory QA folks miss this?  Not only them but for the $500 assembly costs, the folks in the back missed it, too, and it's sitting on the showroom that way...no excuse for this type thing in my opinion

Not sure I like the Elvis sideburns yet....jury is still out...

They did have a Magnetic Grey and Wineberry Limited (meh...not a bad combo) and two of the three colors of SESG's (Black Forrest solid and Black Forrest with Wineberry).  I think of all of them, the B.F./Wineberry SG was the best looker. 

That Billiard Blue on the SG and RG Specials looks very nice, too.

I did not notice any vents (visible) on the primary that was discussed earlier in this and other threads (I looked best I could).

Overall, I think the color choices are a bit better than last year....but nothing that makes me say "gotta have it".  Still happy with what I have....

SM-HD is an MSRP dealer, by the way.

FWIW: This is a new and very unusual business practice for them. They used to do it during the over heated market demand years ago but they eventually saw the error in their ways and have only sold at MSRP for many years now.

I’m disappointed!

Dammit. I'll be there for MV next week. Might have to go take a peek if it's still there.

I know SMHD had the Silver with Chrome CVO RG and sold it 2 days after it came off the truck, which was the day after the show.  They also had the Gray and Red CVO RG, not sure if it sold yet.

It wasn't out on the showroom Saturday, Dave.  The Mako was the only one they had showing....

Okay thanks.  I'm offshore right now.

Picking up my new addition on Friday!  Red Pepper & Magnetic Grey.  I've already started to compile a list of mods, 1st of which is to get it to Fuel Moto for a dyno break in session and a few engine exhaust mods!

Did you get it? Can you post some pics. Also, how is wind management with the fangs?

[RussW1911]

Picked up my newest addition on the 13th.  Really liking the ride quality as compared to my last couple baggers.

congrats.  do the fangs work for wind management or just for looks?

[RussW1911]

I have to say that I think they work as a spoiler.  On my '13, the wind beat up my legs pretty good, but I don't get the same whipping feeling with this one.
