While it would catch my eye to say cool, I would not buy it if your old ike was next to it.

 

I asked the parts guy about ordering a new CVO paint set but he said MOCO was strict on protecting their paint schemes. So there may be a way but my guy didn't think it was possible.

 

I'd love to have a CVO paint set from 15-16' on my 17' CVO, but HD won't do it. I'd do that Grandstand set, but only if I could find a way to keep the CVO gas filler etc. Let us know what you do.

 

It's your bike. You have to live with it daily. Get what makes YOU happy.

I have wondered how difficult regular and matt paints next to each other are to care for. I like to wax and polish. Cannot do that with flat paint. Fine line there.

Good luck and I hope you are very happy with the bike when fully repaired.

 

Yeah, I hope I'm happy with it too, it's a complete disassembly of the bike frame off. A ton of work for sure and I just hope it all goes back together smoothly. The silver lining is that I was about to have to do a 15k service but after this I'll only need an oil change.

 

Keep the CVO paint set, it looks much better, JMHO though.

 

I think that whether you like the paint set or not the bike would be de-valued putting a non CVO set on your bike. That's the main thing that make a CVO bike a CVO. Maybe get a different CVO color than what you had. Just my opinion.

 

Protecting their paint schemes from what? I can understand people wanting to put CVO parts on a non-CVO bike, but your bike is a CVO. Makes no sense.
