Post by: rheiner on March 24, 2015, 11:34:37 AM: I did on my 2011 SESG a few weeks ago. I also got the CVO medallions in the calipers because the red ones come with the bar and shield. My dealer made me pull the CVO medallions off the OEM calipers in order to get the new replacement ones. I don't have any pics at the moment but maybe I can take a few this morning and post. I love the new look.

How much did the replacement CVO medallions cost?

They were reasonable, about $6 for two of them.

That looks good. I've had a few sets powder coated. It's not to be able to pick your colors. Red on one side and blue on the other would be terrible though. Bike would just go around in circles as one side went faster and the other side stopped quicker all the time ??? .

Ok question I have a 2012 CVO Street Glide black diamond and dark slate. Would you leave the black screens in the red calipers or would you put the chrome on them from my old black calipers?
