Oh my word... I'm glad that Harley Rider_49 has grown past his over-use of apostrophes and quotation marks in his more recent ramblings.. Reading this old, drug up thread, has made my head hurt reading his paragraphs. LOL

The title of my bike in my sig pic doesn`t show anything with "SE" on it. It just shows the VIN, title #, body type (RS) and model (FLE). This bike was a factory built item, too. In fact, the only thing on this bike that isn`t factory is the derby plate (as shown enlarged in my avatar when the pic was taken on the bike I traded for the CVO)
As far as the CVO baggers go, the VIN number will tell you if it's a Scream'n Eagle. The fifth and six letters in the code will tell you the model of the bike.
example, The two letters after the 1HD1_ _ will tell what model you bike is. Check your owners manual, it will explain it all.

Uhhh......How can I explain some o' this agin.....gotta make this short/sweet cause in 30 min, I'm on the road.....ANYway.....while some of what you say is correct, like I said to another post'r...also made the ref to Cobra stang vs GT stang.....kinda the same thing.....ALL I can say is...."Ya gotta own 1 to appreciate 1" and believe it or not, their are guy's who buy these things (CVO's-Scream'n Eagles) that'll STILL spend 4-6K on'm before they ever leave the dealer.....exhaust/bigger cams/more headwork,etc all try'n to get up in the magic "over 100" HP/TQ class....the real magic # is about 125/125, respectively,and they achieve that by spend'n more $$. Not to make light of the stocker's, but you could spend buttloads o' $$ on'm and get the same #'s, but my point is , will "never" be a "Scream'n Eagle".....limited run factory custom's with a specific VIN# that designates it as such....also hold their value more than the stock counterparts.....just say'n......could direct ya to a site dedicated to these specific models, but would be against the policy of this forum, I think....anyway ,best thing to say is , GO to dealer, get on 1 and have sales dude show & explain all the differences, or better yet.....RIDE ONE!!!! Gotta go......C-ya!!
A CVO Screamin Eagle is just a plain Harley Davidson (pick your model) with a bunch of gaudy add on chrome, a nice radio and paint. It doesn't go ANY faster or handle ANY better. Spend your money on good quality parts and don't buy the hype.

Yeah the 110 engine and 255 cams are a myth, they really just come with a stock 103.
