I received mine today. Does this mean that the MoCO is doing some new upgrades or is this the gasket recall?? In my opinion, I think that Harley would have gained more customer confidence by extending the warranty on these motors.Maybe the book is something to read while you're bike is having the recall done?

Got mine today.  About as worthless as the new heads inprovement, got mine done now the base gasket is leaking.

  It's nice for them to give us something to do while we wait..

No Book Yet

Mine came UPS.

Got mine today. Nice book. My bike and 4k minus the cost of the book ($40) will get me a new FLHR 103. Thinking of writing a letter back - probably get to no one important, but may make me feel better.

 I got mine UPS today when I came home from work. Nice book (a good gesture from the Mo Co), but not much help for the folks who are still having problems.

We went through the museum in Milwaukee on Saturday, several of the bikes pictured in the book are at the museum on display.  

It was listed as a CVO edition, but I didn't see any CVO's in the book.

That "special edition" logo is just a sticker.  I bet this book is in the museum gift shop.  There is an Orange '04 SEEG in the book.

To my surprise I just received a letter from MoCo along with a book titled: THE HARLEY-DAVIDSON MOTOR CO. - ARCHIVE COLLECTION.

You can see in the picture that it has a label in the upper left corner which says: CUSTOM VEHICLE OPERATIONS 110 SCREAMIN EAGLE - Special Edition

BTW the book is great 

Me too! I would rather have the BS resolved-can't ride a book!

Ok here is the text of letter I just wrote tonight that I do think I will send - if it gets any where near Mr. McCaslin I will be very surprised.
Mr. McCaslin,    
Thank you for the book. It looks to be a fine book that I will enjoy on several rainy afternoons this winter.  I bought my CVO because I thought it would represent the best that Harley-Davidson had to offer. I have had multiple issues with my 110” engine, and my screaming eagle road king in general. So much so that I do not trust that the free upgrade can truly fix what is wrong with this motorcycle.
I felt so strongly about this that I went out and rode several of your competitor’s motorcycles. Some I liked most I did not. The one’s I liked were not good enough for me to completely give up on Harley-Davidson.
I have however given up on the 110” product line. Through, an understanding dealer, whom was willing to give me several breaks I am purchasing a 2009 FLHR. I am having several upgrades installed at delivery including a 103 kit. This motor has a longer track record and from my research has not had the problems that the 110” has.
All of this has left a bitter taste in my mouth, and it is not from some fine Milwaukee hops! This adventure has cost me time, money and an endless amount of frustration. It is only the understanding dealer noted above and my disdain for conflict, drama and frustration that has kept me from pursuing my state’s lemon law to settle this matter. I hope that you truly make the changes that are necessary to make sure that, as you say in your letter, customers of Harley-Davidson receive the best products and the highest standards of service. Currently this is not my view of the state of your business. Although I have bought another Harley at this point in time your apology and a book, for my inconveniences just do not seem to be enough.

I'm betting the pool boy stole Howie's book off the front porch after all the bad things that were said about him before the 09's came out on this site.   FTPB   

Haven't got my book yet and I work for UPS...WTF

[Gecko]

Hmmmm, unaware there was an 'upgraded' cylinder.  Did I miss something?

Two different things.  They should upgrade the existing engines with everything they have changed since they started, and they should be adding cylinders to the list since that seems to be the root of the leak problem.

There are several. I saw the Electra Glide Orange '04  and the Dyna Wide Glide '00 Orange with gold leafs
