I read that when you shut these twin cooled engines down you should use the kill switch then wait till the fans shut down (about 20 sec.or so) then turn off the ignition...

Mine does not require those steps...If it's warm enough the fan runs after I turn off the bike for a very short time. Easy

Don't take this wrong but my 2011.5 Blue SEUC is looking better all the time.
You have a beautiful Blue bike but that puke on the floor would ruin my experience.
Hope it gets taken care of soon.

I would wait.  Of course, I'm coming from the position of my $40k bike is in the shop puking now.    If I had it to do over again, I'd wait until they work out the cooling system kinks.

I don't want one till spring anyway. It would sit in the garage till then here in Wisconsin anyway.
I sure hope they get the kinks worked out by then? I still don't understand how they can test these
for sooooooo mannyyyyy miles, then put them in production and bang, BIG PROBLEMS!!!!
I also wonder if the CVO's are now coming with owners manuals?

When I picked up my CVO last week, it came with the owners manuals and USB drive

Picked our red CVO Limited up in San Francisco on Friday and drove home 530 miles to Yorba Linda spent a lot of time on Coast Hwy 1 (two days to get home we stopped a lot )- Can some one direct me on how to post pics having trouble getting them posted. The weather was absolutely perfect rode home in a tee shirt... the bike performed very well with no issue's knock on wood - nice power,  very comfortable and love the infotainment center - my wife loved the ride and the bike turns heads and also get's a lot of questions. No complaints so far and it looks great in the garage parked next to it's older brother 09 Fat Bob CVO.

We'll do, trust me, I'll be updating everyone on how this goes.  It really is a shame on so many levels. I really feel bad for no only me, but Harley Davidson.  To make a statement like they did with the 2014's only to have them show up at dealers puking all over the place.  As not only an owner of two Harley's, but an investor in their stock, I am very concerned with how Moco handles these issues.

Thank you ....and please keep us updated  ..mine is scheduled to ship on 10-16 but to be honest all the reports on this problem  has knock the wind out of my sail.... I really do not have the time to mess around with the service department - I guess I could eat the $500 deposit

I'm sure they'll hold your deposit till next year... It'll taste a lot better with a 2015 to go with it.

I'm sure if he walked on the deal they would refund his deposit.  If they do not, then he paid $500 to find out not to do business with that dealer.

[FLHTCUSE7]

In most states they have to refund the money by law.

Bought a bike from Dudley Perkins, eh?  I bought my first bike (a Harley of course) at Dudley Perkins in 1977, an XLCH Sportster and absolutely loved that bike, 2nd favorite of all time next to my 2012 CVO Ultra.

I think the answer to that is pretty simple.  The pre-production bikes that all the testing takes place on are put together with pre-production components - possibly US made, even.  Then when the green light for production is given, the MoCo, in their continuing quest to get the cheapest components on the planet, to sell at several thousand percent mark up, give the contract for manufacturing to the lowest Chinese bidder.

Its Harley Demo Days here this weekend in Raleigh ...I just signed up to ride the CVO limited -was surprised they had one.

So lets see if the radio works (fader issue) and if it can hold its liquor.............


BTW...its going to be kinda awkward.....since I am not buying the bike from them.... 

[roadking71865]

I am thinking about getting a 2014 "twin cooled" bike.  Although there are not many out right now I would be interested in hearing about good and bad points to the bike.
How is the cooling?  Does the passengers right leg still get extremely hot?  How does the new fairing design & windflow work?  How do you like the new display?  Are the tour & saddlebags roomier as advertised?  Any other info. appreciated.
