I didn't read the whole thread till now and the SERG seems to be MIA on this list.     Doc

[Road_Glider]

That thread has nothing to do with the CVO bikes, it is only the custom paint sets and the paint on other bikes.  That document would never list CVO bikes.  Think about it the color list always comes out and the dealers don't know about new as yet unannounced bikes like the new CVO lineup until the summer dealer meeting.  But soon we will know for sure and the speculation will die down for another year.

I s'pose that if it existed, the d00derator or someone would have uncovered it by now, but I'll ask. I noticed on one of the threads some spy pics of the new Chevy Camaro from a website devoted to spying out issues with new automobile models. Does a similar thing exist for motorcycles ? If so, could someone post a link.

You know I have wondered the same thing before.  It must be that there is not enough big bucks in the moto mag business or there would be spy shots of the new motos each year like they have with cars each year.  I mean we all know they do ride these new bikes out in public places before their release, I assume they would have to.  At least we know that when they do the release each year they have all these photos and videos of the new bikes on the public roads that they put up on the HD website immediatley on the day they announce hte bikes.  Would be nice if one of these days some one stalked them out and got some shots of the new bikes ahead of time.

I'm thinking they may be out there, but they are so disguised that we don't know them when we see them. My guess is they are going around w/rattle can paint jobs to be passed off as somebody's home build. For instance on the CVO's all of the additional bling pieces come direct from the P&A catalog, and I can't see any reason for them to need to test the paint. If I remember correctly when the MoCo made the documentary "Making of the V-Rod" the prototype bike that they used for testing had a flat black (rattle can) paint job. Also I know at least the MoCo has private testing grounds where they can do endurance runs w/their bikes.

sure if you lean em out enough

Naitram,

I am currently looking into buying a 2002 flhrse similar to yours. My question is about the fairing on yours. Was it a factory option or did you buy an aftermarket one and have it painted to match??  Forgive my stupidity.

Two companies making fairings for Road Kings and other non faired models. (Actually I'm sure there's others, but for the sake of simplicity we'll stick with these two)  Hoppe Industries and Dragonfly. Naitrams is a Dragonfly. I'll let him speak to it for himself. I had a Hoppe on my 03 SERK. Different approach to the issue than Dragonfly but the same end result. You make an Electra-Glide out of a Road King.

 Having been there, done that and spent a bundle doing so I concur 100% with the above.

I think it means somebody didn't put punctuation marks in the proper places is all,  but hey, Oliver Stone the hell out of it. We all do it and it's a lot of fun.
