Not sure I follow?

Rob,

I believe the area of debate is the use of the term "Custome Vehicle Program."  Does that mean CVO colors, or are they talking about custom paint sets.  My assumption is they are talking about the paint sets and not CVO bikes.  If it were CVO that would make a CVO from every H-D family next year.

I wonder if they will cut back on the number and /or quantity of Screamers for 2009 ??l

Saw this in the post, what does it mean?

THE CUSTOM VEHICLE PROGRAM ALSO RETURNS WITH 3 NEW COLORS OFFERED OVER THE YEAR ON THE ROAD KING CLASSIC, THE ULTRA, THE STREET GLIDE AND SELECTED SOFTAIL, DYNA, SPORTSTER, AND VRSC MODELS.  2009 MODEL YEAR MODEL CHANGES MODEL DISCONTINUES – VRSCD, FXDWG, XL883, and XL1200R 2009 MODEL YEAR VRSC MODELS WILL NOW SHOW ABS BRAKES AS AN OPTION VERSUS BEING A DIFFERENT MODEL 2009MY NEW MODEL DETAIL – DETAILS PROVIDED AT THE SUMMER DEALER MEETING

I'm pretty sure they're talking about the factory custom paint sets.  The MoCo usually comes out with 3 or 4 color combinations and they're usually very limited in production. (Some sets I've seen have been numbered as low as x of 150.)  Normally they release a couple colors at the start of the new model year, then release a couple of new sets after the 1st of the calendar year.  Looks like they're only doing 3 sets this year.      Don't believe it has anything to do with CVO's.

No worries Robmay, I've done the "brain fry" thing once or twice too.

Thoughts?

[RedDevil]

I'm just guessing here, but I'd venture to guess that along with cutting back on the "production" motorcycles, they will probably cut back on the CVO's also.  I've seen more CVO's sitting on showroom floors this year then I ever have.   Seems like every dealership I've been in, they have 3 or 4 of them sitting on the floor.  One dealership I was in recently had two SEUCs (Canyon Red and Anniversary), 2 SERKs (Blue and Anniversary), Anniversary Springer, and Dyna.  If they go with 4 CVO models again this year, I think that there will be less of them.  JMO.

RED DEVIL, 

I agree. I am seeing a lot of Screamers on the show room floors.  (new and used) I actually hope they cut back so our bikes keep their value.

Sure wish we knew what the 2009 models are going to be ...

Well, I think there's going to be an FLHTCUSE4.  The MoCo has found a very popular model in the SEUC.  I also saw a luggage rack wing that had listed on the box for FLHTCUSE4.  Also, there's a dealer that reportedly got a shipment list already stating they were getting an 09 SERG in July or something like that.  So could there be a Road Glide in the SE lineup this year?  Possibly, it's due.  But I guess we'll have to wait until after the dealer show in July to find out.

I don't care if it's only a Sportster, I'm 'gonna trade my '08 USE3 because it's becoming way too labor intensive.  For example, yesterday I had to check the tire pressure!  When you have to go through crap like that it's time to trade em off.  If I keep it any longer, I may have to wash it!!  Ridiculous!!  I don't have time for crap like that.  Bring on the '09s!

Actually a sporty with a 110 would be pretty cool....

If they were talking about paint sets, it would read Custom Paint Program. Since the
term "Vehicle" is being used it has to refer to a particular motorcycle. Possibly the
CVO line. IMO

You are correct.  This color info has nothing to do with the 2009 vehicle models.

Just left the local HD dealer this afternoon with helping a buddy buy an 08 Street Glide.  Talking with the GM, he plays dumb and acts like he doesn't know and will not know until July when the dealer show hits.  He says it because of production is slowing due to the market.  He did mention that SEUC has lived its' life and that the moco is beating a dead horse with it now.  He says it's tough to sell a SEUC now because there is so many of them and SEEGs that some people (like me) prefer. 

No mention of any new changes, but he was just trying to sell a bike, so he being a sales professional, did not want to comment on the upcoming changes.  So, I rode my 05 SEEG with 8500 miles to the restaurant and had a beer, steak, and another beer.  Then I rode my beautiful SEEG home where it will stay for a very long time.

P.s. I put a totally unnecessary part on this weekend, the screamin eagle cone air filter, actually runs better, I think!  Ok, it looks bad a$$!! 

I wonder what is the ratio of cvo vs. moco stock bikes is?  Yes the SEUC will be high number, but what about the dyna, fat boys, etc.  No need to mention the springer, because the only model besides the springer cvo is the new crossbones.

OK, I'll stop venting, besides everyone only reads the first two lines anyway.
