Thanks again everyone!

What's the other project you have off to the side in the first pic?

That was the Street Glide the some of my take offs went to.  The owner is a good friend and ended up buying my old bars, and several other parts.  At that time, we had his bike stripped down so he could have his inner fairing painted.

Fish, ya done good.  Paint, build quality and you got to keep your SG (oops, sorry) RG.  By the way, how will you register it now with the DMV as the VIN will say SG but the bike says RG?  Just one of those things that popped into my head while looking at the wonderful job.  Also, don't forget to change/update your avatar.... :2vrolijk_21:

The DMV in Colorado only notes the make and VIN, if I recall - the last thing I would try to do is convince some DMV clerk that it's a different bike because of the conversion!  Plus, as long as to took me to figure out which Harley was which when I first started riding HDs, I don't see much hassle in my future.  

Need to get on that avatar - thanks for the reminder!!

As an RGC (2011) owner, I find the rebuild to look "normal" as U,(OP) were shooting for. I would find it to be changed to suit tastes of OP as well. Love the Paint, just different enough that no one else will have one that looks the same, even at Sturgis... Wanna swap for a month??

Nicely done! I've seen some other bat-shark conversions, but not a CVO. Your painter really nailed it.

The only bike I regret getting rid of was my '07 Patriot (military) edition Street Glide. I sold it to get a Sharknose - batwing bars are too wide for my t-rex arms - but the Patriot bikes are very rare and were only done one year. If I'd known then how relatively easy and relatively inexpensive the conversion is, I would have done that instead.

Re: registration/title: it's still a Street Glide, because that's what the VIN says. Just a SG with a different fairing.

I just ran accross this post and my hat is off to you; #1 for attempting to do this job on your own, and #2 for getting it right, and by that I mean it looks just as if mother MOCO had done the work in-house.  Matching the factory paint and graphics like you did is more difficult that doing a complete custom paint job. Congratulations on a job well done!!

Being partial to the RG styling, I think it was a great choice and the color combination looks awesome as a RG.

I hope I didn't miss a post in this thread about this, but I believe someone with an '09 SERG Silver did the same conversion, ONLY, he went from RG to SG.

Too bad you couldn't find a guy with an RG wanting to go SG.  I appreciate all the detailed work that went into your guide for this project.

Again, a great looking bike!

I think I remember that bike...it was for sale...with all the part to go either RG or Bat Wing.

Thank you!  I appreciate the compliments.  It's fun because it's custom, but looks factory.  Even more fun has been being able to ride lately.  Colorado is sure enjoying some nice temps lately.

So, I still venture into the garage, just to take a look at the bike.  I am surprised by how well it came out, and humbled at the same time.  The color and graphics lend themselves perfectly for this application, IMHO.

It's not often you see RGs with flames in the paint.  I know Moco offers some tin sets with the flames, but it's still not common...

Thank you again for the kind words.
