On the fence with these and trying to decide... anyone with these installed on your 2012 RGU CVO?  Are they solid color of matched to the pattern of the rest of the bike??  Any photos would be great.

Just a few photos of my ride, just put a little over 500 miles this weekend  



















Trying to capture the dark blue with the metallic flakes (until a few days ago when I was taking photos, I thought the inner fairing was painted black with some flakes in it... not so, it is a deep blue with flakes  ).

Great color, looks great.  Congrats!

I have not seen the lowers available for that bike, but I'd bet they were painted the dark color of your bike, and would be all one color.  Lowers make a big difference in cool weather and rain, and you can always put them on with the quick disconnects.

You could get them custom painted to match the scheme of the rest of the bike...

Lowers are nice in the cooler months.  I put the on when the temps start staying below 70 during the day, and then in the spring I take them off when temps start going over 70.  They come color matched to the lower color of the bike.

I agree that the MoCo normally paints the lowers the same colour as the lower section of the bike - the way it really should be... Unless of course they make a mistake as they did with the '08 SEUC Anniversary model...

Then it requires one to fix the problem on their own...

Which I think looks much better.

Don't you agree?

Thank you for the replies.  Reason I asked is that the lower color of my CVO looks to be black... but the quote I am getting for the lowers is not that of a Black lower...

Order placed, will see what comes in...

Beautiful Bike!  how do you like that helmet? multiteck ?

Have had it for a few years now.  Works great.  Having said that, looking for a replacement (try to replace them every 5 years) and looking to one of those with internal sun shield and Shoei does not have that option. I have narrow it down to:

Shark Evoline Series 2 ST



Nolan N103

I love my Schuberth C3 Helmet. Won't change it for anything!!!!

Did not even know those existed... here I was close to deciding on a helmet...

Nolan is pretty slick until you have to change the shield in the dark when you are leaving resturant and forgot to change it earlier. Takes two men and a boy. Shoei shield change can be done by blind man on fast horse in the rain while in motion. Schuberth I agree looks pretty cool, but would have to have a big safety advantage, it is almost twice the cost of Shoei or Nolan.

I would get another Shoei, but I really want that dark shield inside that I can put down whenever I want... to avoid having to switch shields.  I want to keep a clear main shield for night use and then lower the inner shield for during the day.

Schuberth, I agree also that it looks pretty cool, light weight, and smaller outside... those are all great features... but the price is high...  I want to see if I can find it locally to take a look and compare it to the others.

Back to topic... anyone with a 2012 CVO with lowers that can share a photo? 

[Midnight Rider]

The Twilight Blue on your bike is not black, though it may look it when not outside in the sun.  In the sun, there are flecks of metalflake in the paint.  That's the way your lowers should be as well.

The Black Ember on my SERGU looks solid black until out in the sunlight...it has red/maroon flake in it.

I am interested in the Shark Evoline 2 helmet as well, but am having a hard time locating one to see in person.  If you get to see one, a report would be nice.  I have read good things about them, and it seems the best of all possible worlds, unless you like to wear a half helmet or tupperware bowl (novelty helmet).
