Hello, fellow CVO'ers:
I have a 2019 FLHTKSE, magnetic grey fade, with the "all black" package, which is a blessing after my 2018 Street Glide with tons of chrome. I hit a patch of black ice on a 40 degree morning not too long ago (dropped into freezing overnight), and thankfully, the crash bars on the back bags seemed to take the brunt of the damage (no magnetic grey painted surfaces). Getting under the bike, Ive found dime-sized scratched metal on the primary cover, floor board attachment brackets (the boards flipped up), and the back crash bar.
Know ing how much it costs to replace those parts, is there an easy method to get some new paint on the and prevent rust-any recommendations based on past experience? All input welcomed!

I too had an oops with my 2020.

Sounds like it's underneath..? You can get vivid black paint from the dealer. the thing with vivid black it is is really just gloss black with some good marketing. I will admit, it is my favorite colour, and if they offered a CVO with vivid black, I think it'd be awesome.
You can go to an auto parts store and get a gloss black paint pen..? I know I'm looking at a different project to redo my deck of my motorcycle lift, thinking POR15 paint. Its one step before sandblast and repowdercoating.

I read in your post re: Chrome. I will say my 2009 FLHX with chrome lowers, the chrome looks brand new compared to the peppered pock-marked powder coated black forks of my FLHTKSE. I will never buy a blacked out motorcycle again. I may get chrome lowers for this motorcycle.
