Nice..

Detach TP
Extended Saddlebags
License Plate Frame and Light
LED Turn/Brake Lights

Those are the obvious changes, any others?

Thanks for the help Greg. Deserthog I'm trying to get the side pics sized right so they will post. You noted the changes I was wanting to share. But it does have a 21 up front 18 rear, lowered and of course head pipe and rineharts.

Speakers in the lids.



Thought of going that route with the rear fender and fascia on mine also. I'm just a big stickler on having amber turn signals in the rear for visibility. Love the look.  :2vrolijk_21:

Very Sweet.  Noticed you like Blue from your Trike and Sporty stable mates.  Lets see some pics of all three! 

P.S. That fridge begs to be painted blue...just say'n

Thanks Guys. I had to share because I love the look of the previous customs. I loved my bike since I bought it. But thought all Cvo bikes should have the drop bags and twin led side lights as a CVO standard. So I had to change it. Beemer the trike is identical Blue as my RG and was a major factor in the purchase. We plan to paint it identical to the RG except for the light blue pin stripe being pink. (Girl thing she says) The sportster is my sons which will require a little work after this past weekend. ( He hit some gravel in a turn and laid it down) cosmetic damage only to him and the bike. I will have to get pics after said changes to all.

I think the international models use amber for the lights with a traditional brake/tail light on the fender.  This would address your concerns if you really like this approach and feel the need for amber instead of red.

Very, very cool. How did you lower it, only the rear or did you find front springs somewhere? And with larger wheels and then lowering are you about where stock seat was?

Thanks

Put the Harley progressive lower kit in the front forks. And 12 inch shocks in the rear. It's about a 1/2 lower than it was. The wheels only raised it maybe a 1/2 and the lowering dropped it 1 inch.

Looks great.  You did a very nice job.  I agree all CVO touring bikes should have the stretch bags, fender and LED lights like the SERG's did, the SERK did.

Thought about doing mine, but after looking at cost, and the fact this bike will be traded around 40~45K miles on it would not make sense to do it.  Mines just over 9 months old, and has 19,994 miles on it.
