How about that 2012 badge on a 2015 hard candy Mercury tank???

Not sure if I would do it, but if you can get them they just stick on the tank. Get it right the first time.

Could you do it?  Sure, will it look proper? I personally don't think it will. It will clash and get lost with all the detail on the tank and probably cover the lettering. That tank emblem is very nice but was used on the 2011 and 2012 CVO SG's, for that reason alone I wouldn't put it on a 2015 CVO SG. Just my 2 cents.

So would it be possible to get the new emblem for a 15 CVO Hard Rock SG and attach same without much issue??

You would be wise to let the dealer do it. The badges are about $180-$200 and are held on with double sided 3M tape. If you screw it up then either you buy the badges again or do some kitchen table therapy and apply new tape to the badges and cut out between the logo and lettering.

On the 2015 CVO, placement will be dictated by the painted on logo. I am not sure if the badges will fully cover the painted on tank logos.

Best of success in your project if you decide to go forward.

As far as CVO Harley tank logos go I like the 2010 CVO Street Glide the best.

Me too especially the gold ! But I'm partial

I think that new badge is the same as the one on the 2011 & 2012. I don't think I would do it, but if you do get it right the first time. It sticks on with strong 2-sided adhesive.

I was able to see the 15.5 SESG at the local dealer in Carbon Crystal with Phantom Flames...absolutely a beautiful bike! Light metallic in what I would describe as a very deep dark blackish-grey or maybe it's a dark slate. My wife says I cannot distinguish colors worth a darn. The metallic flames are subtle but pop in the sun. I was able to compare to the 2012 SESG, the tank badge is the same and the design of the flames are similar. However, unique enough in design. I was not really fond of the blackout style as I always preferred lot's of chrome, but this bike is awesome!

Unfortunately, this one was sold but I bought my RK from a dealer down the highway and he has one coming in at the end of the month. So I put down a deposit! I'll be joining you all soon.

The ghost flames on the 2015.5 CVO SG are the same style on the 2008 CVO Road Glide?

Rkw, I'm not following your comparison of the 2008 CVO Road King ghost flames with 2015.5 CVO SG ghost flames. The 2012 and 2015.5 CVO Street Glide ghost flames, however, are similar. The flames' designs are very much alike but the paint, placement and fade affect are very much different. You have to see in person to appreciate.

so l take it you liked it better than the other Black/Gold....

15CVOSG, not everyone I know likes all this year's colors, but I do like all of them to the point that I wish I could own one of each. Since I can't, I was partial to the black/gold and Hard Candy. The Hard Candy is an instant head-turner. The black/gold lures you in then when the light hits the flames they leap out at you!

I was torn between these two bikes but leaning heavy toward the black/gold and was ready to buy until I heard the new carbon crystal was being released. Since the new SESG's are not selling terribly fast in my area, it seemed that I had some time to wait for the new carbon crystal color without a huge risk of being left with no option.

Now having seen it, the carbon crystal seems to have all the same accessory treatments/colors as the black/gold, just the tins are painted different. I would have been very happy with the black/gold, but I'm glad that I waited because for my preference I like the new carbon crystal over the awesome black/gold.

Sorry for the long answer to your question.

You are correct, each color is unique to each, I at first wasn't drawn to mine.  My wife on the other hand called me an idiot for not grabbing it the same day.   I love it so much now.
