Default Tank Emblem

I ride a 2020 street glide standard

I’m sure you guys have noticed that HD finally changed the tank emblems on the 2021 specials from HD being written out, to the bar shield

I can’t decide if I want to order the 2021 Special bar and shield
or buy after market CVO style bar and shield

thoughts?

do a Google search of Images so you can see them both on tanks like yours..or toss a coin if you're 50/50 on the looks...probably not all that expensive if you later decide you like the other one instead

Just get yourself a three sided coin before you start flipping. My vote is the CVO style.

Whichever one you pick get a eraser wheel for your drill to remove the old sticky. Slow rotation. Thank me later.

I bought the silver bar and shield, then decided to go with the CVO style black outline.

Badges. I have too many stinkin' badges!
