lol these comments. I have a CVO seat on my RGS.....OMG string me up! Im a poser!
I bought the seat cause I sat on one and it felt good, I like the styling and the stitching matched my laguna orange bike and matches my scorched orange bike now even better. No one has ever commented to me ...oh that's a CVO seat, you shouldn't have that on your bike. Even guys I ride with that own CVOs.
Let it go! Its a harley bar and shield badge.

"congratulations. I shall sacrifice a hundred parts to honor your CVO".

What is the standard CVO owner? Is that in the parts catalog?

To be fair, Ive been painting rat bikes matte black for years with a rattle can haha when they get scratched you just blow them over with another can of matte black.
I wouldnt buy another denim finish bike as you end up with a scruffy bike thats actually meant to look scruffy.

Its true. Even my dealer basically said it ages and takes Ona mottled finish.

I believe that's why H-D call it 'Denim' and not matte, to describe the way the appearance 'ages' like the jeans material (its in the manual, see below)
Yes its a ball ache that you can't polish or touch-up scratches, like conventional paint
DENIM FINISH CARE
Some motorcycles have a denim (flat or matte) finish. The denim finish has qualities which differ from high gloss finishes on all other Harley-Davidson motorcycles. Like denim fabric, denim paint burnishes or mars with age and use that adds character and personality to the finish. Refer to Table 38 for recommended products.
If scratched, the color coat of paint does nick/scuff and these marks cannot be rubbed out.
If polished, the finish will become less matte and more glossy over time.

around the top of the side panels the seat has rubbed and flattened the paint, but apart from the odd nick here and there it's in good shape VS buddies gloss bikes
