The magazines are referring to "Special Edition". I'm guessing the S is for that because SE is already used for Screamin' Eagle.

I like the blacked out look, but I can understand why some people don't. It is a shame that they don't have a S-line bike in chrome and color.

I made a note for my next HD advisory board survey.

Oh yea, it is a shame they don't offer one in color and chrome because I would have bought one, instead I'm trying to decide between a Deluxe and a Heritage.

But your right, they should offer at least one of those S models in color and chrome.

First day out, yesterday, thought I'd ride to work, radar looks clear. Get out of my community and one cloud decides to pour and follow me for 3 miles in stop and go traffic. The bike has been Christened.

This morning I washed and waxed it. I quite like the lack of chrome because its a much faster clean.

Congratulations on the new Lo! How's she ride? That's exactly what happened to me on my first ride, 1/2 hour into my first ride I got hit with a 20 min downpour and no shelter anywhere. You're gonna love that Lo, nice looking bike.
