I've never used it or saw it in person.  But to answer your question, in my opinion, no....it's not worth it.  You begin to depreciate the value of a CVO when you start putting stuff like that on it.  JMHO

It's a fair bit of change for a Derby Cover.  But whether you like it or not is what matters.  It's not going to break the bank after all.  And it's a Derby Cover.  Five minutes on and off.  So it has no impact depreciating the bike or any CVO-ness of the bike.  If you like it it's great.  If someone later doesn't you take a few minutes and screw the original back on.

I agree with Twolane. I have not seen one in person but I liked it, was my plan "B" if I had been unable to buy this one for about half the $$. My concern with the eagle head cover was it did not look "chrome/shiney" enough to me in the pics.

I didn't read that it is cut out in the oil side to fit hydraulic clutches or a variable pressure plate, like the stock derby cover on CVOs.

Not worth the price to me right now but I like the looks. If I had some extra cash, yes its worth it as Harley covers are expensive also. The fitment guide looks like it will fit. Enjoy making it your own. Doesn't matter what we think its your bike and your cash. If you like it that's all that matters. Post a pix after you install it.

I have it on my bike as well as their timing cover and it looks great.  I also have the eagle head horn cover and eagle talon kickstand to maintain the screaming eagle theme throughout.  If you want it, buy it.
