I'm considering putting a deposit on one that my dealer is expecting in May. I think this is one of those paint schemes that you just have to see in person - indoors and outdoors.  Despite the mechanical problems all of us have encountered with the MoCo, the paint jobs and schemes have been consistently pretty good to excellent. I have a feeling in the sun, there's probably some awesome metal flake in the paint.  Remember the Sunrise Yellow bananas?  Yellow from a distance, but up close in the sun that orange metal flake just popped.  Several other CVO colors have had that same effect.  Now...do i pull the trigger or resist the urge?  Anybody know where the HD's next cycle rally or bike show will be where the bike is likely to be on display?  PJ

There is red metal flake in the black paint.

Where's the silver paint (background for flames) that's shown on the attached HD website pic ? The Daytona pics don't look like the same bike.

It's there.  Just looks dark gray compared to HD pics.

HD factory photos are as reliable as the bikes....

If the Web photo was the same as the paint on the "real" bike they'd have a winner and I would have owned one. I almost put a deposit on one until I saw the photo spread in American Iron. Some may like it but its too dark and the flmaes are too subtle for my taste. Lot of bread for no chrome too. Changed my order to Burnt Amber/Hot Citrus. Now that paint scheme really pops in the sun!

You nailed it as to why I ordered it ... black is the new chrome

Chrome is the new chrome. Black is the new fad.

And I'd say we both resemble that remark.
Black comes and black goes, but chrome is forever! (unless it's Harley chrome)

Im not too keen on blacked out look but this bike sure looks good.It needs ceramic coated pipes.Then would look even cooler.Just my 2 cents.

Does anyone know if the midyear SEUC's come with a revised seat such as the Limited's and Ultra's do?

Naturally the CVO comes stock with a different seat than the Ultra, but appears to be close in shape and apparently that is what has changed with the newer version.

A friend of mine just took delivery of a Limited and although it came with the original 2010 seat, the dealer swapped it out for the revised "cut-down" seat at no charge... He's now much happier with his new ride.

Just wondering.
