O' Fender,
The problem ... there is no UNbiased Forum!!! Some people were biaised too! I had comments like:
- The SE edition is more stripped than the FLHTCI
- Many dealers will not accept to trade yellow bike.
- It cost less to buy a Standard and to add stuff after
- You will never have the pleasure to personalize you bike ... OR
- Anyway you will put a lot of money to personalize your bike ... better to start from a standard.
- Twin 88 is a lot more reliable than twin 103 because there are few of it ...
Is that coming from UNbiased forum? [smiley=oops.gif]
This is MFG,
I would like to address these things here and now.
The SE edition is more stripped than the FLHTCI
The paint, chrome and motor are not a definition of stripped.
Many dealers will not accept to trade yellow bike.
They haven't started delivering them number one. And number two, name the dealers that will not trade you for a Yellow Screamin' Eagle Electra Glide and I will guarantee you they have the same eyesight as RAY Charles.
It cost less to buy a Standard and to add stuff after
Yes it costs less to buy a lesser bike.......A CVO is a CVO and not a clone, not a wannabe, not a rice rocket and not for the weak of heart. You cannot make a CVO. CVOs are made by H-D. You can only augment, personalize and embellish your purchase. This is what you would do with any bike.
Anyway you will put a lot of money to personalize your bike ... better to start from a standard.
Funny how folks will try to drag you down. Tell 'em to get out of your way that you recognize what you want is better than standard.
Twin 88 is a lot more reliable than twin 103 because there are few of it
The 103 is a TC88. It is bored with the 1550 big bore kit and stroked with the stroker kit right from the factory and you can get the extended factory warranty with it.
Quit listening to folks without vision for purposes of guiding your life and it's pursuit of happiness.
