From what I've found, the only "Stock SE" Sportsters are dealer installed. The dealer may market and sell it as a SE version with full warrenty but, it doesn't come from the factory that way.

I think that's just what keeps the myth alive!

Even though every model can be customize to an individual's tastes, I think HD leaves the Sporty alone because of cost. If you want to enter the world of HD, there are several versions available (Iron, Night, C, XR, Low) and then go nuts making it your own. spending your $$$ to upgrade. They probably looked at the MSRP of a SE/CVO version and thought they better keep the bike displayed away from the Dynas. JMHO.

You have a valid point there with the cost. The sporties are priced lower in the lesser trim (883) than the lowest dyna for example and with the CVO bikes, the price tag is usually about 10K more than the standard bike of the same line. I can't imagine a 1200 SE sportster for $22,000 being a very popular bike .

Also adding some SE parts to a standard model factory bike does not make it a SE model. This can be verified through the VIN number.
