I agree with most of the issues mentioned.  But my biggest pet peeve that should have been included on a $33k bike that is mostly chromed out:  Why not include $25 of chrome switch caps to match chrome switch housings?  

Cos I don't like them is a good enough reason for me!  ;D

However, using chrome switch housings, and cheap cadmium plated bolts to fasten them is pretty bad!

Same warrenty as their least expensive 883..... 

Amen.  For this price I expect a solid five year warranty, which would also increase the resale value of the bikes making them a better value when new.

The cheap tour-pak hinges that come with the CUSE.  Most everything else on the bike has been upgraded someway, why not put the better/heavier chrome hinges on????

That was time consuming with some frustrations for both wife & self replacing those hinges.  Drilling out 36 rivets.

Have 500 miles on the new scoot...road today and the right tank HD Emblem fell off   :-\...nice.....yes fell off....  :-\

The CVO Emblem installed on the gas fill cover is CROOKED :( .....  >:(every time I look down at it I get cross eyed.

HD Product Developement....the 2012 Tank HD Emblems are cheap, cheap, cheap....could have done alot better on a $37,000 scoot, just my humble opinion....(this is my 6th CVO  :confused5: ).

Like the bike....  :orange:   :jalapeno: :2vrolijk_21:

Damn, Napalm!  For those of you that listen to Ron White's comedy.... maybe the guy that applied the emblem missed "How to Glue Tank Emblems Day" at the HD Assembly School.   ;D   Sorry Dude.

1. 2010 FLHXSE and I had a seat that seperated from the tank!  Oh, at the time this was the second year there was seat problems as the SERG had the same problem.
2. Nonfunctional wind screen.
3. Inaccurate speedo and fuel gauge
4. No "special" service at the dealership on routine maintenance for CVO owners.

By the way, I do love the bike but it's wasn't perfact.
