H guys, i am new to this forum, been at hdforums for years with softails but this year i finally step to touring territory and i bought CVO... i am from Europe,Czech republic.

 My bike is 2018 CVO RG in gunship gray and i will install lowers this week on Wednesday. We install them just to try the fitment before they go for paint. So i can share some pictures and info. Till now i did not get any info if the lowers fit or not. HD says no, we think they should.... reading this threat i am happy we are propably right.

We will use standard size engine guard and fairing support. Unfortunately my dealer told me the standard fairiing support is available only in chrome and not gloss black so i was going to paint it. If you have part number for black one,please share it.

BTW i will also install 300 W speakers and AMP to have same music as SG. We also install stretched side covers.

Hmm ...just wondering why you've purchased lowers in the primer , if you have the gunship grey like mine then colour matched lowers are already available without the need for painting as there the ones from the gunship grey  cvo street glide this year.

Also for those who want to fit lowers to the Road glide and god forbid they don't fit with the 21" wheel  :'( then as a trade off option you can get the  gunship grey street glide 18" front wheel , colour matched lowers and a wrap around fender all colour coded !
but that's only in gunship colour , personally I prefer to keep the big 21" wheel.

2 reasons... we did not know if they realy fit. When we ordered them, there was no info about fitment except Harley saying it can not be done. So i was ready to do some modifications like cut them,adjust them... I did not want to change wheel and fender. So better to paint after the modification and cutting is done.

I ordered also stretched side covers and they are also in primer. So i will paint both parts at one shot. Every HD parts from catalogue are basically more expansive by 50% in my country compare US prices. So difference primer / painted is minimum 1000 usd on the 2 parts. I can paint them here for 300 ... beside the possible modification/cutting convinced me to order primer version.

Thank you. Yes, i absolutely love the gunship gray. Actually i was about to buy standard Road Glide Special but this color convinced me to go for CVO.... I always liked this kind of color on cars. I was very happy to see it in HD range for 2018... I see you have a same :) Here is my bike on delivery day. Unfortunately its winter here so bike stays at showroom till March... I will post pictures with lowers later this week.

I am loving the gunship gray.  I have just over 5000 miles on mine already.

Let us know how the lower installation goes.

We should install the lowers today but it did not happen. I have the chrome fairing support. And replacing engine guard for standard one means also replacing the fairing support. But i can not use the chrome one. Actually it would be useless work because the fairing must be dismantled and assembled back during the installation and using chrome support, we would do it twice. I have to paint the chrome to black first or order the black one. My dealer says he does not see the black one in EU catalogue yet, i think he just do not want to order the black part again. So we will probably paint the chrome to black since its already here.....

Anyway, since i see from the picture here, the lowers can be installed without any cutting and adjustment, i think to paint them now and install everything at one shot. I just hope it can be really done :).... If anyone has any more info, i would appreciate to know it.....

Okay Guys, Just got through installing my lowers. No problem. There is actually as much if not more clearance between the fender and the lowers as there was between the chopped engine guard and the fender.
See pictures below.
I removed the chopped guard, the fairing support bracket , installed the regular engine guard , regular black fairing support brackets , and black lowers. It all fit just fine. Be advised that the regular fairing support brackets are numbered 1 and 2----the instructions say 1 is right and 2 is left---------WRONG! at least mine was. Its pretty obvious which side they go on , just pay attention.
