I have been thinking of buying hard bags and a batwing fairing for my CVO Softail Convertible. My biggest concern would be finding a paint shop that could match the original. Has anyone ever done this and with what results?

Did you go with a Batwing fairing?  If you did, are you interested in selling the fairing off the Convertible?

[CALICO]

I did not do it. I decided that the cost would outweigh the benefit. I am now waiting to see what is going to be in the 2014 CVO lineup. It maybe time to trade. Good luck with your search.

""are you interested in selling the fairing off the Convertible?""

Got a batwing in the paint shop at the present time.   Whenever I get it home and get it mounted,  hooked up and evaluated,  I might have a 2010 fairing for sale.   

Cowboybagger,  I tried to send you a email.

Will post some pictures when I get er done.

Where did you order the Batwing from?

I bought a Dragonfly fairing for my bike, the dealership was going to install it. They called me to come look at it cause it looked like crap and boy were they right. Good thing I didn't get it painted first. The fairing was 2500.00 with everything on it. Returned it with a twenty percent restocking fee. What a rip-off Dragonfly is. I don't recommend any type of fairing for the convertible.

I will post a picture of my fairing once I get it installed.   If I am happy with the result then I will post the website for the people who made it.    They are made of ABS plastic and are molded to fit the convertibles smaller headlight.

It looked good when I made sure of the fitment, but I want to make sure that it works well before I recommend the product.   They have at least 3 on bikes now.

Hopefully,  I will be posting in a couple of weeks.

I didn't see a fairing that showed a match to the ConV, which one did you choose?

Also, any source for good hard saddlebags? Sadly, I'm leaning more and more towards a touring bike but don't want to lose so much on selling this bike.

I had a Dragonfly fairing & returned it. Unless your 6'5", you can't see over it. I don't think any other fairing would be an different.

Wide Open has a picture of the conV under the softtails, ( it is orange )  If you are interested you will need to contact them for info.

I have one at the painter and will give feedback and pictures when I get it on.
