OK, here come some more pictures.  The paint color still doesn't show exactly right; the camera just doesn't want to read it correctly.  It was cloudy today, so you can't see the metalflake in the paint.

A couple of observations:
1.  The new security system is going to take some getting used to.  If you move the bike without the fob in your pocket, it commences all manner of screaming and hollering.  Folks are going to wind up leaving the fob in a saddlebag to avoid hearing everytime they move it in the garage.
2.  It's got the same license plate mount as the one used on the SEEG and the SEUC.  There are only two bolt holes and no frame I found will work.  Some clever manufacturer needs to build a nice, thin chrome frame with only two bolt holes at the top.
3.  Forget about using a Road King windshield bag.  The standard RK windshield has just three bolts across the inside of the frame.  The SERK has quite a few more than three, so the extra bolts prevent the bag from fitting flush on the windshield.  I guess I did not want to ruin the view forward with a windshield bag anyway.
4.  With the passenger backrest in place, the saddlebag lids hit the vertical part of the backrest mount and will leave a little dent in the leather.
5.  Other than those issues, this thing is just about perfect.  It's my third Screamin' Eagle, following a FXSTDSE2 and a FLHTCSE2.  I still have the Deuce but traded the Electra Glide on a car and haven't missed it.  It just wasn't right as a long distance tour bike.

That's just Tooooooooooooooooooooooo nice for words Dude. Where do I start. The front fender, the wheels.the gas caps, the air cleaner, the taillight, the paint, the combo tach/speedo, the moustache engine guard, the black and chrome motor (finally on a Screamin Eagle) and on and on and on. I see what you mean about the camera reading the paint. I'm wondering if the flake is prismatic or something and you get the color change effect from that. Whatever, it's gorgeous when it looks red, when it looks orange/red and when it looks orange

Thanks for postin some more pics for us to drool over. We'll be looking forward to hearing about the 110" motor as you get it broke in and can open it up

pushrod,
Wow the Flames are much, much better in the gold by the looks of it than the pewter on the blue.
I was taking pics of the blue one my friend picked up Friday and wasnt even close to that!!
Are the 2 switches on the inner fork covers set for an acc. and spot if installed I presume?
