Don't tell your dealer, he will give you a bill.

It was the first thing I pointed out to my dealer.  "My dealer", unlike many other ones that I hear about is, honest, caring and "always" goes out of his way for me and my buddies.  New Roc HD in New Rochelle NY.....they are the best around here! They were happy that I got the floorboards, "IF", that is what I wanted and offered to get me the correct pegs, "IF" and "ONLY IF" that is what "I" wanted them to do. Obviously, I'm keeping what the bike came with.........REAR FLOORBOARDS!

Guys,

My bike came from the factory with rear "fully adjustable" passenger floorboards, like on the CVO Ultras!  What do you make of that? Could they have run out of rear pegs and mounts???

Great score. I paid to put them on my ride and i moved the pegs to the front. Did you get a 16GB or an 8GB ipod?

This is interesting about the passenger floorboards------------my bike came with Chrome front floorboard mounts on the right side and black ones (like on the non cvo bikes) on the left. My dealer quickly got me the chrome left side ones at no charge when I pointed it out. I guess since the CVO bikes are assembled on the regular line now the person just grabbed the wrong ones when doing the left side. Kinda funny really but kinda sad too.

Reading about all the mixing and matching mistakes should make everyone grab their ass and pucker just a bit when you consider that the "factory customization" program is coming and will bring many many more optkions to the lines for them to screw up.

I guess it's true these days.

Didn't see the Ipod yet, everything was packed in the Saddlebags and I was more interested in the paint

Don't look a gift horse in the mouth...I understand all of the other comments and concerns but RUN!!!!

Since they will never be used, just remove them and pack them away.
It will be less chrome to have to black out......

Keats.....smartest comment I've heard yet

Nice score! I certainly didn't complain when I opened my 16 gb ipod.

IF you are going to be keeping the floorboards on, you may consider this:

When you go to back up the bike, the footboards hit you right in the Achilles tendon on the back of your leg.  Recommend swapping the supports from side to side.  It moves the boards towards the rear of the bike several inches and will save you lots of pain....  There is a thread on this board about that somewhere; I just can't seem to find it.

No need to.....these have the 360 degree rotation so they can be rotated all the way up or back, out of the way.  It is the same mounts that are on the CVO Ultra!

Seems the MoCo has really missed the mark this year. But the problem is, we just won't quit buying them. Otherwise they might take notice!

Where is the thread you are referring to above??

Could it be that the workers at the factory are making a statement to Harley by putting the wrong parts on our CVO's ?  I'm sure they know that this site is being looked at by Harley/Dealers.  IE. Jams too much on us and this will happen? I can't believe that they don't know or understand that every bike coming down the line is important to assemble correctly. Cvo are Top of the Line items and in my belief the quickest way of getting higher ups attention.
