Ordered the end of August, 2011, delivered April 2012 and out for the first time on the weekend and lovin it!

Major Mods so far:

1) Yaffe 10" Monkey Bars, Power Mirrors and poly bushings. Had Paul do bars/mirrors in satin black to match the stock look and switch housings.
2) Headwinds "Revolver" Black Spots & Turn Signals wired to spot switch. Match the muffler tips and goes with the stock air cleaner look
3) Klock Werks Windshield 8" DARK SMOKE
4) Remove Rear Antenna and install new/latest Boom Audio Hidden AM/FM/WB Antenna
5) BAL (Bad Ass Light) Tail Lamp...the U.S. version of the rear end is definitely a lot "cleaner" looking but I don't mind some extra light back there, so a BAL light it is.
6) 4-Point Docking Hardware Kit & Covers - Chrome
7) Oil Level and Temperature Dipstick with Lighted LED Readout - Chrome. Don't rely on this for oil level but handy for checking level on trips and temps.
8)Various chrome covers

Still have a few custom touches "inbound" but not yet here...will post when received.

Any questions, fire away.

Saw one of those in the showroom at the dealer the other morning dropping mine off for a leak. It was gone by the time I picked mine up later that afternoon. That is one badass looking bike! Congrats

Yup:

Rear Docking Hardware Cover Kit - Chrome 48035-09

Note: Each kit contains 2 covers, so if you have the 4 point docking hardware, you need 2 kits.

Great looking bike! Really like the looks of those bars. Thanks for the pics!

I am on the last night of a 7 day ride on my skunk, Denver to Taos, Carlsbad, NM, Big Ben National Park, Tx, Austin, Amarillo (tonight), home to Denver tomorrow. 2800 miles total. Bike is running great and loving the throttle!

Mod on....

So far, the bars are my favorite mod...real comfortable for me and love how it looks on the Road Glide!

Paul Yaffe does these bars in chrome or gloss black, but if you have the time, he can do a set in satin black if you are staying with the "stock look" (i.e. satin for the bars, switch housings, brake and clutch reservoirs, levers, mirrors).

I had him do the bars and his power mirrors in satin black over the winter while waiting for my Harley to arrive so was not in a big hurry...from order to delivery, this took about 8 weeks.

By the way, that sounds like a great trip!

You're very welcome...they do put a lot of light out there and to the sides, both day and night, and they look great. The spots that I have come with the standard 35 watt halogen bulb per side, which is more than enough in my opinion, but Headwinds has the option of going to 50 watts per side if one wanted more light.

If you decide to go this route, shoot me an email and I'll go in depth as to the install and various options for you.

Inbound...one Razor-Pak with Spoiler painted in "Skunk" colours with graphics. Also inbound is the backrest pad with some "enhancements".

I know, I know it's "too small", can't carry the "kitchen sink", blah, blah, blah...but hey, it works for me!

Once I receive it and get it installed, I'll post a picture of the Razor-Pak on the CVO Road Glide.

I think it is going to look "baaaad"!

I think it will look great. I run the chopped in the solo position on my Skunk. I changed the hinges and latches out to gloss black. I also had the mount powder coated black and then had a premium tour pack rack powder coated gloss black. I get lots of comments on it.

I bet that looks great also!

I just plan on using it for long trips (saw a Harley the other day with a Razor-Pak and was suprised how much he had in there) but these paks and the attachments/options that you need are expensive enough, that if it looks good, I might leave it on for a while and try it out (although the "clean looking" rear end of these CVO's are hard to beat)!

FLSTFI Dave · « **Reply #29 on:** May 21, 2012, 07:30:12 AM »

I like the looks better when it is off. Sure is nice for trips, and cooler months when you need more gear. Mine is off in the summer except for road trips.

With the 10" Monkey Bars, did not need to change any wiring, clutch or brake cables...all stock.

There is actually quite a bit of wiring in there from Harley...buddy with a CVO Road Glide changed to 14" Wild One bars and there was no need to change/add wiring, but he did need new clutch/brake cables.

Love the Monkey Bars!

FLSTFI Dave · « **Reply #33 on:** June 18, 2012, 08:34:09 AM »

I have the 14" Monkey Bars on order for my Skunk. They should be getting in any day now.

I'm off shore at work, hopefully in 3 weeks when I get back the new bars will be on the bike along with the powder coated switch housings, brake and clutch levers and resivor, and my new mirrors.

I spent two months debating which bars and which height.

Your Skunk looks awesome. Can you give me the part #'s for your spots and signals. I checked Headwinds sights. Did you buy them as a set? Keep up the great mods.

Yes, I bought them as a complete kit...2" spotlights (35 watt halogen lamp, clear lens) and 1 3/8" turnsignals (20 watt halogen lamp, amber lens), all mounts, Style: Mariah Rocket Revolver.

From my invoice:

Kit #: i) 2-2434-21M-11ZA
ii) W-0002 (Misc Part) Spotlight hookup harness 4 pin connector to male spade terminal

Your Options:

1) I went with the standard 35 watt halogen lamp...you have the option to go to a 50 watt halogen lamp if you choose;
2) Standard is clear lens for the spotlight and amber lens for the turn signal...you can go clear on the turn signals (or amber for the spots if you want) ;
3) you can also go LED's on the turnsignals as well;
4) I chose the Mariah style for the spot and turn signal "buckets"...you have the option of choosing the "Bradley" bucket or the "Vampire" bucket, examples of which are shown on Headwinds website.

Hope that helps and happy "modding"

Sea Biscuit · « **Reply #36 on:** June 27, 2012, 09:20:45 AM »

By the way, you will also need:

1) Badlands Load Equalizer as you are now using halogen lamps (or LED's if you so choose for your signals):
Part # LE-03-SRCVO;
2) You will also need a Badlands Dual Intensifier Hi-Lo Module (Part #IHL-02) if you want to make your halogen signal lights
from Headwinds both running and turn signals.

All available from Headwinds...make sure you tell him that you have a CVO as the wiring for the load equalizer from Badlands is different for a CVO as opposed to a standard Road Glide.

thanks for all the info. I was just at a rally in Prince Edward Island Canada yesterday when a hot looking chick pulled up beside me with her new Skunk. Both she and the Skunk looked awesome. One problem, she went on and on about her Skunk saying it was so RARE and there were no others around like it BLah, Blah, blah when all of a sudden a brother from Mass pulled up beside us with a Skunk. this is a small rally and it was quite something that these 2 Skunks arrived ther e within minutes of one another. I never heard anymore from her the rest of the day.These CVO's are awesome. I had a 2009 CVO Roadglide and it can't hold a candle to my new Maple Metallic. Thx again and keep up the great moddin.

Thanks everyone!

Really happy with the way the mods have turned out so far...my next mod will be done in Sturgis...Focal 165 krx2 speakers with a 500, 4 channel amp in the fairing and all wiring done for future saddlebag lid speakers.

I was going to tell my wife how much this Sturgis trip is really going to cost but nah..."easier to beg for forgiveness than to ask for permission"!

Plus once the stereo is updated, Pink Floyd is going to sound awesome (although once the Visa Sturgis bill comes in, I'll be living on the "Dark Side Of The Moon")!
