Hi guys n girls from Australia

I know I’m a bit late to the party I have just bought myself a 1owner and new to me a CVO 2004 Electra Glide! “Orange pearl / black” 27,000miles (44,000km) on it
 I traded in my 10 FatBob Sedona orange for it

A dude here in Australia bought it new in the state’s and then toured the USA For a few months then imported back to Australia when he returned (I’m led to believe they were not for export to Australia at the time by Harley?)

I’m loving it the bike is in such a good condition I’m getting asked at traffic lights etc is this a new Harley or what year etc its gotta be the best colour combo Harley has made !!

Welcome from the Heart of Dixie and congratulations on the new ride.  Glad to see another Pumpkin owner join the site!  There is tons on information about these bikes here on the site and with all the knowledge from current and former SEEG owners, you’re not likely to run across anything that hasn’t been covered or we can’t help you with.

As a gift to you for joining and the purchase of your new bike, if you will message me your email address I will send you the service manual (including the SEEG supplement) in pdf.  It’s rather large and will take a few emails to get the entire manual.

Btw, you’re bike looks to be in great shape and mostly stock (truly a rare find for a 17 year old motorcycle)

Congrats on the pumpkin SEEG.  The SEEGs are a great bike.  Once you get the conversion to right hand drive taken care of there is one more thing worth considering.  The engine you've got is a great piece.  Reliable and strong with no significant weak points in their history; except the cam tensioners.  You're in the mileage range it's worth swapping them out.  While in that far do cam shoes, inner cam bearings and (maybe) lifters.  It would suck to trash an engine due to worn out cam shoes.

Welcome from up above. Congrats on the new bike. I've never had a moment of regret after purchasing my 🍒. They are one of the best looking bike HD put out there. Hope it fives you many years of pleasure. Watch out for the roos.

Sage advice. Now you're beginning to see how CVOHarley.com helps you spend money.

Hi, thanks for the warm welcome!
I’m starting to find out owning a bright pearl orange and black bike has brought about a few issues that are not for the anti social or introverted I’m constantly being asked about the bike colour, what is it etc or just nice bike dude
I know 90% of Harleys are black or murdered out black ( I don’t have a problem with their choice of colour) mine just stands out from the crowd like a diamond in a goats ass
It’s funny I went into the local HD store to buy some shiny bits n pieces for my FatBob and rode out with the CVO 👍
