Well, you're obviously a rider, Moonrider. The 103" is a great motor but I think they have most of the issues resolved in the 110" so it might be a good thing that you're getting yours a little later.

You're certainly getting the nicest one (paint scheme wise) the MoCo has come out with since the 04 and 05 SEEGs. That red is just incredable! The only way they could have topped that is for the whole bike to be different shades of the metallic (or is that candied?) red. Of course, Big Bender is equally fortunate to have that color.

 

I have a 2005 SE Fat Boy. I check out this section occasionally, but usually not much activity, that applies to my model bike.

I have a 09 Screamin Eagle Ultra--the red one

 

I have an old one. It's the first year for them. Got over 70,000 miles on it. Would have more but I also ride my 95 Nostalgia a lot.

 

Here's mine. 2003 Special Edition 100th Anniversary Softail Deuce Screamin Eagle. 23,000 miles, almost everything that can be chromed...is! About the only thing left to go is the inner primary cover.

Like mine much better. Red is just too dark, the lower is almost black and it shows every bug. Glad you guys like the red. Got 11K on mine, had it 6 months and the motor's fine.

 

Only have 700 miles on my CVO so far. Bought it in December and Boston weather has not been cooperating! Love the bike so far. Plan to put lots of miles on it soon.
I'm considering changing the slip-on's for a better sound; also does anyone know if a "reduced effort clutch" kit is available for the CVO??
