After reading this entire thread and chuckling a number of times I have this to add.
My 2013 CVO Ultra clutch hose does not go through the fairing. BUT instead of casting a new inner fairing without the clutch cable hole for the CVO's the MOCO in their divine wisdom simply sticks a color matched plug in the hole.
The cheap TP hinges and latches.
Poor quality sound system.
Love the LED headlamp that is now stock on the CVO.
I have not had any problems with the gas tank filler, not on my 08 Ultra or my 13 CVO but I too put the kickstand down, then sit on the bike and balance it as I fill the tank. I always go slow and really? how long can it take to pump 5 gallons of gas? Like someone else posted, I can swipe the card, fill the tank and grab the receipt without ever leaving the bike. I am just more comfortable doing it that way than trying to look into the tank at an angle and fight the handle bars and keep my legs off the hot exhaust!
I actually am loving this bike, unlike the 2012 that I had with the 103 that sounded like a diesel! Couldn't drown out that engine noise even with loud pipes and HOG tunes sound system. My dealer told me oh they all do that.
When I traded the 12 for the 13 CVO the dealer told me that he was shipping my 12 bike off, he was not going to resale it. Which told me that he knew it was bad but would not do anything about it. I was at the dealer a couple of weeks ago and the salesman says to me the guy that bought your 12 really likes it, we had to do some work to it to get it running right and he is very happy with it!
Needless to say after 5 new bikes and having my service work performed at this dealer the past 10 years I am done. As for HD customer service, non-existent.
But I do love the bike! LOL
