Paint Suggestions

I have a 2001 CVO RG that the previous owner dropped causing some slight damage to the fairing. Plus just their numerous slight scratches on the bags. I would like to fix it all. It took a little effort but I found the paint codes for my paint scheme. 98609DH=Vivid Black 98603KT=Charcoal Satin Brite 98603BL= Platinum Silver activator for the Vivid Black is 99825-02. Now my problem now is where do I find the eagle head at that goes on the fairing? This is my dilemma. Doing my research I was told they do not make this any more and HD does not make a replacement fairing with the paint scheme.

So here is my question. Is this paint scheme worth saving? Or should I just go ahead and custom paint the **** out of it?

For the loyalist, they may say keep it original.

DO what makes you happy.

I would love to keep it original but there is just so much you can do when you can’t find parts. ..

If it were mine I would make it mine with a personal custom paint job.

A sign maker could replicate the eagle...both sides for a match.

Any repaint, even custom IMO does not add value.

I'd probably "custom paint the s**t out of it" emulating the CVO OEM design.
