Look great - the paint looks spot on and that's a nice touch adding the matching "Harley-Davidson" to tie into the bag lid!
And the CVO gauges look great too. The black trim rings really make a bigger difference than one would expect.
Thank you, the Harley Davidson was painted on. My painter did a great job. He did the base coat, 2 coats of clear then the HD was painted on then 3 coats of clear that was wet sanded then additional 3 coats of clear that was wet sanded and buffed. The fender is perfectly smooth. Going to be upgrading the front suspension when I get the fat tire kit installed.
Did a little more work this weekend. I decided to change out the baffles on the TAB mufflers since the wife said the torque cones and Zombie rings really quieted down the exhaust. I got the lost torque back but it almost sounded like it did stock with the holes plugged up. So I decided to go with the 2.5 baffles and it made a big difference. It's loud if you rev it but quieter when cruising and I got back the lost torque.
This is just my observation but, with the Zombie baffles when you revved the bike in neutral on the side stand you got pretty good sound and the bike didn't really move much. With the 2.5 baffles when you rev the motor you get good sound and the back end of the bike squats for lack of a better term. May not mean much but it was something I noticed. I also tried as was suggested, to put the 2.5 in the right pipe and leave the Zombie in the left and it didn't do much for me. The Zombie baffles are more raspy, where the 2.5 baffles have a deep consistent sound that I was looking for.
Got my Fat Front Tire Kit on from Native Custom Baggers. Got the OG front fender and the Prodigy 18x5.5 replica wheel. Great wheel only took 1.5 oz of weight to balance the whole thing and it rides smooth and really hugs the curves with the new Dunlop American Elite front tire. I also added a new Progressive spring kit and had them lower the front 1/2" to make for the additional height of the new tire.
Looks awesome Sarge! Looks like your vision certainly paid off! Good luck sir!
Thankyou, got all this done on a bike that doesn't have 600 miles on it yet.... Hopefully the weather here will clear up and I can start getting some serious miles racked up......

You better get riding or you'll go broke!
Love the eagle eye, sharp bike. Here's my eagle eye story.
When I saw one on the showroom floor my mind started working on getting that paint scheme on my Street Glide. I wanted the eagle silhouette on the bags and side panel leaving the Batwing for the flag.
The painter, who is a true artist, didn't like the silhouette when he tired it on the first bag. Trusting his judgement completely I said give me your vision of the eagle eye.
