I'm confused, why not have your local Harley dealer look up the part and order it?

Because the odds of getting the correct part numbers and information from this site is exponentially better than getting correct part numbers and information from the typical dealership - especially when it comes to CVO bikes...

The answer to this is real easy. Because why would I want to just call my local dealership and pay whatever price they tell me. With the part# I can instead shop around and find a dealer that will give me a discounted price.
Always remember with information/knowledge comes power...........I always like to have the part# and then I can shop around. For me my local dealer is 2 hours away so it has to be shipped to me unless I want to run over and get it.

My wife dropped her bike on the right side and wasted that mirror. I still have the other one if the left is what you need. PM me

[WildmanUltra]

Thanks for the offer but the wife has decided that she wants me to replace the stock mirrors with some mirrors I had bought her for her Sportster. I be posting some pictures soon about what I am doing.

The important thing is ....your able to keep the lil' lady happy

True very true.
So the mirrors I had bought her were for her birthday were the Rivco Custon LED mirrors. They have a light on the front of the mirror that acts as a running light and turn signal that is amber and then on the mirror side a red light at the corner of the mirror that is a turn signal only. So trying to blend these lights onto the CVO wasn't as easy as it was on the Sportster since there are no wires on the bars. I finally decided to take the plunge and try to hook them up. I cut the shielding cover off the wires going to the turn signals. Ok this doesn't look too bad. So I take the switch covers off so I can see what the wires look like going into the turn signal switch. Well it is a sealed switch assembly so I can't disconnect any wires there. And I know I don't want to try taking the turn signal light apart. So now the fun begins, got to cut some wires and hope I don't screw this up. I cut the wires about 2 1/2" from the sealed switch so that the heat from the soldering iron won't hurt it. Then I cut some heat shrink to cover the joints I am going to make. Here is the finished product. Sorry I didn't think about taking any pictures when I had all the cut wires.



 

Here is the front side of the mirror with the ignition on.



Here is the rear of the mirror with the turn signal on.

 

So I finished up both sides of the bike today just didn't take the camera with me to get finish product pictures. I'll try to get out there tomorrow and get a done pic.
The wife is all happy again and can ride her bike again. I had one mirror on a few days ago and told her she could ride the bike like that until I got the other mirror on but of course she told me heck no it wouldn't look good that way.
