Bought FLHX to replace FXDWG3
I wanted the wife to ride more and she hated the FXDWG3 seating, changing the seat was not a option for me it still had to look cool ! , she didn't want her own bikeand I don't need two. So off the CVO Dyna Wide Glide went... One of the most coolest CVO's Harley built and I have ever owned. I have close to 1000 miles on the FLHX, she likes it , I like it. BUT....it dosen't have that cool "look" factor of the Black WG. I'm thinking of having the Black FLHX paintedto be somewhat like the WGsticker ( paint ) scheme...small gold leaf looking flames.It has to help. No insultto anyone who ownes one of the CVO bagger bikes but they I think are a little over done from Harley, to brightly colored for me, I do like that they (CVO baggers)at least get larger displacement engines than the run of the mill FLH's...if onlyWilley G would of ask me to design a CVO Street Glide.

See the 04/05 SEEG's. Some of the prettiest CVO's ever made...They are where the Street Glide came from
If two bikes were an option, why would you get rid of the fxdwg3??? I understand your "urge" to satisfy but WOW are you a nice guy!!! All kidding aside I think your paint will look sweet and I hope you post pics of the finnished product.
Hey check out this site www.thepaintchop.com they have some of the nicest paint work I've seen for the money and have the computer to cut the gold leaf flames you need. They ship everywhere so distance shouldn't be a problem. Hope this helps !
