Slotbike, any idea what treatment/process the blacked out parts go through? Do you think the Black coating lasts? I know they did this motor color on last years Ultra Classic CVO as well.

Lucky88,

Yup, no problem on this one  The "blacked out" parts will be powder coated, which is exactly what Harley (and everyone else) does on any of their black parts.  As far as the heat shields and mufflers, I am going to have them ceramic coated, which is a stronger, higher temp rated coating.  A lot of powder coater's do ceramic coating.  I intend on doing a fullsac header pipe and their largest baffles and ceramic coating the mufflers and heat shields Gloss black to match the gloss black powder coated engine parts.  Should look good!

Unfortunately ... you can't do Hi-Temp ceramic in "Gloss" - at best it will be a "satin" type appearance and I've only seen that from Jet-Hot. I would question the durability and temp resistance of any cramic coating in hi-gloss black.

Just sayin' ...

Tif,

My shop says they can do it.....we'll see! Satin or Matte is fine also but, I am going to do the gloss and see.  Worst case scenario is it has to be redone.  For $100.00, it is a fraction of the cost of an exhaust system.

I like the Green, but don't like the Blacked out Motor.   

+1 on that. I feel the glossy black will be very vulnerable to scratches. Plus, personally I dont think I can look at that green for long.

I got the orange and black. You will have to see any one of them in person to really get the full effect. Good luck.

Rogzy,

You don't really think that I (or anyone else for that matter) on this forum really cares what you personally think of another members bike color, OR DO YOU?  I haven't seen anyone here telling you that the color of your bike is gross and disgusting, have you? I happen to think your bike color is awesome.......I just want a green one!  I have bought 6 Harley's between the 09 and 10 model years alone and only get what "I" like.  I could care less what someone else likes.  I take great offense to your comments and think anyone else, regardless of the color of their bike, should also. Just "my" 2 cents worth! (AND HERE IS A PIC OF WHAT "MY" BIKE IS GONNA LOOK LIKE!) BTW, I was at the Harley Dealer Show in July (and will be there in February too) and sat on every CVO Streetglide, all colors! They are all nice.....I just want the Green one!

I'm just curious why the MoCo decided to do the black out on the green one only. I really liked the combo. I missed out on the 2010 mid year CVO Ultra that was blacked out. Here's another chance for me. I still remembered when the Kryptonite rolled up on stage at the Summer Dealer Meet, man it was heartpounding, love at first sight.

Lucky88,

If you mean the motor, I guess it was just because someone decided to do something different on the Krypto/Green model.....just to differentiate it from the rest.  If you are talking about the picture that I posted, it is a photoshopped picture of what I plan on doing to mine when I get it.

I don't take any offense at what Rogzy wrote and think the reason for the forum is opinions and information. Where did the "gross / disgusting" part come in, did I miss something?

Slotbike,

My answer is directed to Retro. He asked for our opinions and this is what I think everyone is giving. I don't see how my answer to Retro offended you and i don't actually care if it did. And yes I think that my answer and every other polite answer to Retro's question should matter coz otherwise there is no reason for Retro to post a question in first place.

Slotbike,

If you're offended that much by Rogzy's honest opinion on the green, then I'm glad you didn't order the CVO Road Glide in Frosted Ivory/Vintage Gold...they've really been having a field day with that one!  They've called it everything from turd-glide to less "offensive" things.  No one over there has blown a gasket...

...just sayin

[Beemer]

For me, I love black and orange but I wish the 2011 O/B SESG had the colors reversed with the black on the bottom...like the green one.  I like the black motor but I also like the CVO grey.  The only ones I don't like very much are the natural finish ones...they tend to stain easily. 

[slotbike]

Beemer,

That's pretty funny because I actually would have preferred the Green and Black one to be reversed like yours

Would have for sure considered the black and orange if it was painted with the orange on the top like the green.  But I think I'll be happy with the green. I loved the green when I saw it in person. Wish it had chrome wheels like the orange bike
