What, and wait until June, 09 Nige? Since there's no guaranty that there'll be a SERK in '08, I'd take what I can get. So far, I'm exteremly happy with this bike. With whatever issues they might have, anything can be corrected and made better than we get them stock. It's a Harley. We never leave them alone anyway! Hoist!

I'm not really considering cancelling it, but it just keeps pi***ng me off that every month they seem to knock the delivery back further.

The bike was ordered last year, as soon as they announced that they were going to produce a SERK, and a requested delivery of February was asked for so that I could register it on the 1st March. Now it looks like the bike won't be here until the end of June and my major trips of the year will be done.

I hope the MoCo's CVO plant are just covering their bases and that I will see the bike before the stated date.

Nige...it's unlikely they will make significant changes to the SERK for 08.  Since it's a touring platform, they are not likely to put a fatter tire on the back like they did on the 06 SEFB and 06 SEVROD, you know they're not going to do anything to the engines after just one year of production.  There might be some cosmetic changes, but nothing earth shattering.  That's just my opinion, as nobody really knows what the hell they might do.

I tend to agree with you TC. I can't see any more major changes being made for 08 so no point in waiting. Besides I really like the CACO SERK that I have ordered.

Having said that there was a rumour that they may produce an RK with a 230 section rear and a 1200cc water cooled power plant kicking out 125bhp in it's stock format !

New clock. How do you like the placement of the SE plaque?

Howie,
I feel better now that I saw you had done the same.  I put one in the same place last fall.  It is definitely a needed item. I need to do something about that naked transmission cover as well.  Any ideas?  I think we got short changed there.  Have you noticed the SE transmission upgrade kit in the P&A catalog?  Do you think we have that since it doesn't show that it is available for the SERK?

Inquiring minds want to know... and spend!

I own that decal for almost two years. Each time I am trying to fit it onto one of the bikes, I walk away with the decal still wrapped. It seems "too much" whereever one might want to put it. For the SERK I have even added the Fork Lock Cover PN # 71790-05 for a cleaner look.

Same here.  I waited until HD came back out with theirs.  They used to make them then stopped.  This is a case of the aftermarket part not being as well designed.  Many of the lock covers require the key to be filed down a bit.  I had no issues.  Also the previous version swivels as opposed to ours which flip up.  There is not a lot of clearance between the console and the riser cover. 

I have no passenger peg issues.  The wife won't ride.   

 My buddie's wife likes to ride so much (on the back) that it cuts into "man time".

Sorry I didn't notice this before. It appears that the Screaming Eagle 6-speed is different than the '06 Dyna/'07 Models standard 6-speed transmissions. That's a nice cover in the catalog, but for 300 bucks they can keep it. And they don't even throw in the gasket! I liked the old ribbed ones on the 5-speeds. I was disappointed when they changed that. Why don't you see about getting it engraved with the SE logo?

And I did have to file both keys for them to work with the fork lock cover.

Hoist!
