Finally finished. I picked it up from the builder with 232 miles on it which means I drove it home from the dealer. Drove it home from the audio installer. And then drove it to and from the builder. As for the wheel...I got the idea for the 26" stock wheel and the actual wheel from @puzzled. If you have questions about anything CVO related he's a great source. Go to his profile and check out his posts. He knows his stuff!!!
Now for the juicy details. My add-ons are the following:
1. Exhaust -D&D Fat Cat (I wasn't sure about this decision at all during the build but when I finally heard it I almost cried!!!) It sounds amazing!
2. Handle Bars -Dirty Bird Hot Rod Bars (which do not look great in pics even I doubted it and almost sent my builder the Factory 47 but I waited to see how it turned out and those bars are f$%*ing sick!!!)
3. Rake Kit -American Suspension Bolt On Neck Kit (if I could do it again I would've ordered another manufacturer, feel free to ask why)
4. Air Ride -Dirty Air El Grande Front and Rear Air Ride
5. Air Ride Switches -AF Kustoms switches are mounted above the horn and look f$%*ing sick!
6. Wheel -The wheel is a 26" replica of the original stock wheel that came on my bike. It was made by Metalartopia but you can contact @puzzled on this forum for more details.
7. Audio -I changed out the entire sound system (except the factory head unit which controls everything on my bike). I added 4-6x9's 2-6.5's 2-tweeters and new amp. Warning!!! You need ear plugs.
There's more in the details like the red decal that was on the original 21" stock wheel...I have that too. I can't think of everything. Any questions...feel free to ask.

Second view.

Wheel Decal (I even counted how many spokes over from the TPM the decal was on the stock wheel and duplicated it on my wheel. The details count for something in my book).
-
Air Ride and Center Stand Switches Mount by AF Kustoms.
-
Changed out the entire sound system with 4-6x9's 2-8's 2-tweeters and new amp (you need ear plugs)
Any questions...feel free to ask.

Traditionally you do not find paint codes for the CVO's. The best you can hope for is someone that can paint match it. Most will not share the formula as they work hard to get it which I understand.
you should probably start your own thread asking that question as opposed to putting in someone else's build thread.

Thank you

It's no problem @puzzled. I know exactly how he feels and everybody here helped me out a ton and I'm happy to "pay it forward". Anyways Bobby, PPG makes all the Harley paint. What I would do is search terms like #ppg on Instagram and find one of their authorized painters (and there are a lot of them). And if a guy is an authorized dealer/painter with PPG I'd bet he can get you the paint my man. I'm about 95% sure everything I just said is accurate. It worked for me anyways. Feel free to ask anymore questions either here or in my inbox.

Thanks to you @puzzled, the centerpiece of the bike is gorgeous. I appreciate everything you did for me. Great price and got the wheel so damn fast my man. Here I though the build would be waiting on the wheel but in fact the wheel ended up waiting on the build. Thanks again my man. I'm gracious.

I don't have any shots that you can see other than inside the bags. I'd be happy to post those if you'd like. Other than that the sound system appears to be stock...but is far from the garbage they had installed on my bike. I don't recommend the stock sound system on any Harley, specifically the CVO's...it's garbage.
