Since it was raining in the morning (Harley factory demo will not allow rain or wet pavments while riding), I was able to hook up my I-Pod and to my surprise, the stereo is a HUGE improvment! Sounds really good!
Plan to demo ride one at Bike Blues and BBQ the end of this month.

I just read through this post from a CVOHarley Member.
http://www.cvoharley.com/smf/index.php?topic=78010.0;topicseen

After having looked over the New 2013 CVO Road King in the dealers Showroom saturday morning, doesn't look like HD was very creative.
I see a lot of similarities in the CVO Members pics of his 2012 SESG

As someone else has already mentioned, looks like HD was making a SESG Wannabe look for the new 13 SERK

For me it is the perfect SESG I wanted: i.e. no fairing ! I love to see all around  8)
Soooo, as always, choices and colors for everyone, my turn this year  :huepfenjump3:

I am no fairing fan as well. But after looking at the windsplitter I would have to change that out soonest.

What is the 110th Edition CVO RoadKing Paint Scheme? I have seen the CVO RoadKing, red, but no 110th Edition Badges on it.

Agree, I will keep my 2008 RK recurved ClearShield for winter, no wind or buffeting, cristal clear.
Perfect for highways !
I'll try the new windsplitter, but seems a bet... ???

110th badges only on anniversary one.

What attracted me to the RK was the lowers and the windsplitter.  I don't need another motorcycle with a full fairing or batwing since I also own a Goldwing. This SERK has all that I was interested in, but everyone has their own tastes and that is what makes it exciting to look at motorcycles. If they all looked alike it would be boring.

I for one do not like the SESG or even the regular Street glide.

To me it is the perfect road king, the good back end that the CVO Road Glide Started.  No Fairing, but still have music.

Makes the perfect bike to go with my CVO Road Glide.

Pretty much sums it up for me.

Everybody has a street glide.

The 2013 SERK is a beautifully executed work. I ride the 2008 105th Anniversary model and think it's the best handling Harley there is. I'll bet the 2013 with the built in stereo and lowers will be a good catch.

So, is it just me, or is anyone else that is awaiting delivery of their FLHRSE5 doing so with a lot of excitement? Can't remember ever wanting something so much. The next month or two will be excruciating, although our 14 day European cruise may keep my mind a little preoccupied....

I feel for you guys waiting for you CVO RK.  I am enjoying mine and have been riding everday since I picked it up Saturday. I gets a lot of good comments from people on the street and people are taking pictures. They all like it and the paint looks great in the sun. Show room does it no justice.  :mango: :orange: :jalapeno: :pepper:
