Wasn't blown away by the color when I first looked at but it grew on me very fast, I love the color out in the sun!

Just put them on my 2019 RG CVO, 2.25, definitely better sound. Although not as loud as any of my other bikes, but I like it for now. They seemed to smooth out the throttle as well, so you can't go wrong with that choice.

Watched a few videos, install seems kinds like a pain, or maybe I'm just lazy, I didn't know you had to modify the mufflers to put them in.

To be honest, the hardest part was pulling the pipes off the bike. The rest was simple, do a little grinding, drill a hole, and add the new baffles was very simple. I did paint the inside of mine with High temp paint though, to cut down on the rust, I used 2000 degree paint in black

No problems at all with the 2017, went to check out a dealers new building and the CVO was sitting right in front of the door I walked in and the rest is history, pulled me in like a magnet! My wife says I can't go look at tshirts anymore, lol

Mine has a bronze/chrome heat shield on the slip on, no one makes a slip on that color and the dealer said the heat shield would not fit aftermarket slip ons, I'm not buying that, the cvo muffler is just a round 4incher, I dont see why the shield would not fit right on a 4 inch aftermarket muffler. That is what got me thinking fullsac but if I knew for sure the shield would fit I would just get a set of 4inch slip ons and be done with it.

The heat shields will fit any 4" slip on, as long as they are not fluted. I have seen a few put them on 4" Rineharts and CFRs. So your dealer is not telling the whole truth, truth be told they probably just don't know. I do like the Fullsac 2.25 so far, like I said not as loud but not many will be with the M8 and stock head pipe. The fullsac does have a nice deep base sound to them.

yeah I think they just didn't know for sure, I looked and it's not rocket science, round 4incher is a round 4 incher. I may just keep the stockers intact and try some Rineharts or something similar, had 6 sets on my 2017 but never tried those

If anything I would try the S&S Grand National first. I just put a set of the MK45 on a friends bike and they sounded great, the Grand nationals are the same just not as much base tones, but keeps the low end torque. His was a 2018 SG CVO. Just my opinion of course, low end is why I went with Fullsac.
