Here is the recent thread I referred to regarding the CVO assembly. The OP certainly seems as if he has some insight in the process.

Looks to me like maybe a disgruntled union worker who is being trimmed because of the high cost of union labor bringing HD down during these economic times..

You could very easily be right. I was just thinking out loud trying to figure out the post by oldbagr which said "Talked to the dealer yesterday and was told that the MOCO will not produce any Screaming Eagle scoots for the 2010 model year". Thought maybe somehow there might have been a connection between the dealer quote and the CVO line disbanding thread.

I think their profit margin is pretty good with the CVO.

Seeing as a Street Glide is supposed to be a STRIPPED DOWN Electra Glide.....which Harley has made as a CVO bike for 7 years in a row.....how is this long awaited????
Considering that Harley puts all the bling crap they can onto a CVO bike....how are they going to do this and still call it a "screamin eagle street glide". If they do that it's just another Screamin Eagle Electra Glide.
The only way they can really call it a "screamin eagle street glide" is if they just take the current Street Glide and stick the 110 motor in it. Boring!
Just my opinion, but I don't think it's long awaited.....I think it's already been overdone.
My opinion, even though I am not a fan of Sportster's much, I think they should have built one of those years ago with the Buell motor in it. With that motor in it, it could have easily been one of the fastest Harley's ever built besides the V-Rod and what a fitting tribute that would be for a bike that has always remained one of Harley's mainstays.

I agree with you on the Sporty. There is no reason HD shouldn't bump up the power on these.

What I have said is the Street Glide is supposed to be a STRIPPED DOWN Electra Glide.........but yes they are virtually the same bike.
Take the SE Electra Glide.......STRIP IT DOWN......and what do you have? Virtually a Street Glide with a 110 in it.
My point being that I think the BATWING bike as a CVO has been done to death and it is time for something more unique like when they first started the program. Something like resurrecting the FXR again but only with the Twin Cam 110 this time, or something like doing the Sturgis model again only on a Dyna Chassis.
