Another positive comment here.
I'm glad the MoCo didn't offer a bike that looks as good as Ken's for 2014.
If they had he would have to start over.
Ken, the MoCo was thinking of you and wanted to save you money.
Now there is a positive!

BUT, they have one that's close!   :bananarock:

That's a little spooky... there is a slight family resemblance there.

But Honey Badger could smoke that Steamer... it's got no FLAMES. Plus, I can take my Tour Pak off!

That IS a nice paint job, tho... but for a mind-numbing $39K, IT OUGHTA BE!!!  :2vrolijk_21:

Why should it be an OPTION? The MoCo should put a decent crank in EVERY bike, and go back to the old tighter runout specs, so these expensive engines run reliably for a long time after the warranty expires!

Ken
I agree with you ken. I just threw that out there. I guess if they gave us all that we know these bikes need to make them what they should be they would last to long.

Well, that IS true, How... OH WAIT, you were being sarcastic... I GET IT!

I have been "testing" the Honey Badger's engine - along with everything else - for nearly two years now. Test result are EXCELLENT... nothing's blown up, chewed itself apart, or fallen off YET! And this Badger Don't Get BABIED on the road, either!  :2vrolijk_21:

Why are we still assuming you can't take the trunk off of the CVO Limited?

From what I've seen on here, some are confusing the Limited with the CVO Limited.  The Limited doesn't have separate turn signals on the rear, but the CVO Limited does.  So it looks like some have mentioned that because they didn't look closely enough at the CVO model.

It was just a joke, Rob. I'm sure you will be able to, if you buy the new detach mount, etc. For even more dollars...

Ok, I'll play. 

I average 30k miles a year.  I've owned my CVO for 4 months and I've barely got 4,000 miles on it.   Why?  Dead ECM.  Loose steering head.  Oil puking from the air cleaner.  More electrical gremlins than the movie Poltergeist.  This bike is a squishy PoS compared to my FLHTK.

Just gotta get one made on a Wednesday afternoon... or better yet on a Thursday.

Tuesday night is bowling league in York, so they are nearly sober by Wednesday afternoon.

Tuesday afternoon is marginal at any time of year... as their minds are all on bowling...

Wednesday night is Church Night (no drinking)... therefore Thursday is the best day.

Thursday evening is Bingo Night at the Elks Club... so all bikes made on a Friday are TOTAL CHIT! Plus, Friday Happy Hour is coming up, so their minds are not on their work...

Monday is right out during football (and NASCAR) season ... as is Tuesday morning, from Monday Night Football hangovers.

Ken

LOL.  I'm going to run out to the garage and check the manufacturing dates right now...

First, this is a great site and there is a wealth of information here. Have a problem, people are genuine and quick to respond.  Over the last couple of weeks, the threads on the site have been more negative than usual.  When the new models are released, it seems that some tend to throw stones at the designs and lose sight of the positive changes made by the motor company.  Frankly, I think the Motor Company is listening.  Water cooled heads and new electronic technologies are just two examples.  Am excited to see the new Road Glide.  suspect that over the next couple of years, we will see some of HDs best ever. 

I definitely agree with you, with the new intros this year I can't wait to see the new Road Glide hopefully next year!!!
