My dealer told me that the light will be in this week but the insert is just showing on backorder and no signs of arriving

My insert still shows on order for 2 weeks now.....

"gonna command those parts too...
i've check the plugs on my bike.. 12V... ready to go..

Well I like many others have been "shot down" today.... My dealer emailed me and said that HD refused to allow them to order the console medallion, which is the "restricted for purchase" part, since I have a 2011 FLHXSE2 and not a 2012 "FLHXSE3" bike......

So I called HD customer service and spent over a 1/2 hour on the phone trying to get them to release the one part that is presently restricted for purchase by those who do not have a 2012 FLHXSE3 bike.  I told her that I have heard (in this forum) that many of the later built 2011 bikes have this "feature built in".  She of course, followed the HD line that it did not come on my bike, therefore it is restricted to the bikes that came from the factory that way (this of course is true about many parts on those bikes, but I just want the one console part).  The customer service person did say that if I could present her with a Vin number from a 2011 FLHXSE2 bike that had the center console illuminated from the factory, that she would take my request to a higher level there at HD and possibly would release that part to me for purchase.....

So there you have it..... any of you out there that has a 2011 FLHXSE2 bike that is illuminated, please step forward .... allow us to show HD that they started to produce 2011 bikes with the feature and maybe they will see fit to let us others have that feature too....

So sad and somewhat pissed in Virginia

Has anyone actually posted a phote of a 2011 with the 2012 part on it from the factory?

Are you saying that at this point it is a 'urban legend'?  spyder

It's not the kind of thing you'd expect to see as a running change within a model year.  I'm a lot like Ronnie Reagan; "doveryai, no proveryai.

[olivier105]

or produced not by hd..

I asked a Tech Guy at the HD display in Sturgis about the illuminated console.  He smiled and said he knows all about that!  His comment was "It was in the plan for 2011 But there was a part supply delay and it was scrapped for 2011."  I do remember seeing a discription of the illuminated console on the HD website when I ordered my Krypto in Aug. 2010 but it was later deleted.  He also said he wouldnt be suprised if it came out as a kit for a 2011 upgrade. I personally am going to make mine illuminated.....  somehow!!

The most surprising part of that story is that you found anyone at the HD tent that knew anything.

Or willing to talk about it.

I thought the original 2011 CVO catalogue referenced this feature on the SG spec's.  But I can't find my copy, if someone can confirm with that bit of "published" mis-information perhaps we can get HD to expand parts availability for FY11?

I will try and remember to check tonight.  Mine should be under the bed, mixed in with about 9 years of Harley, Dennis Kirk, and Kuryakyn catalogs.

[Master Guns]

Catalog I have only says, "NEW Custom low-profile console and insert with a custom CVO emblem".  A picture of the console shows the emblem and it appears to not be lit up.  I got the catalog at my dealer a year ago when the 2011's were first coming out.
