All the work has made me curious Mike.  Given the quantity of changes have you run the numbers to see if you'd have been money ahead starting with a non-CVO rather than a CVO model to get to your desired end-product?
Without a doubt... I enjoy being a CVO owner though. I would have wished I purchased a CVO if I hadn't. A Road Glide Special would have just been a modified bike. The CVO will remain a CVO although super sized...  :2vrolijk_21:

Got it.  Totally understand.  If there's more fun in the process or satisfaction in the end one way versus the other do it the way that makes you happy.  That's one of the few benefits of getting to being an old fart who has earned his choices  :drink: :2vrolijk_21: !

Tightened up the front end bolts. Installed the fairing support loosely. Fairing installed...

It looks like the fairing will sit roughly 2" forward from stock and about 1 1/2" higher. This may allow me to use a stock RGS Windshield.

Looks like it.

I won't get back to the bike until the weekend.

Ready for the 6x9 adapters.

I originally wanted going to go with dual 6x9 lids however I wasn't working to give up the electric bag locks.

So is that a 30" tire leaning up against your car in the background? Maybe a 26"? And is that what's going on the new CVO?

Oh, by the way it looks like your going for a "KILLER" stereo!!  :bananarock:

That is a 26". I have three bikes with 26" wheels. For me they work well. When the Metzler tire came out that was great for the 26" crowd as it's a taller tire thus having more profile. With that said there is so much going on in my garage there are parts all over for different builds...

The stereo is proving to be challenging. Bag lids and available fairing space is limiting me. So I'm doing a work around which affects everything else...
