Default Breakout with cowl over headlight.

Saw this on Facebook. I've asked about it, but never got a reply.


Is this the new CVO cowl or a cowl from a Night Rod? I believe it's the old cowl from the Night Rods.


Has anybody ever installed one of these? IMO, I think it looks great and would like to know more about installation and what not.

I doubt the CVO cowls are out yet so that is probably a Night Rod. This is the CVO, I cant be positive because of the angles but I think they are contoured slightly different.

The CVO one looks like it has a forward slope toward the top front area compared to the first picture. I personally went with the sportster quarter fairing over the cowl idea. At least that does something aside from looks

check out thundrbike.de - that looks like a Thunderbike modified BO with their fairings, the exhaust pipes are a dead giveaway for a European bike. We don't have those pipes here in USA.

So I looked through Thunderbike and didn't see this particular fairing. After looking at it more, it definitely is the older fairing from a Night Rod. I assume the stock headlight on the BO is the same size as the Night Rod's. I guess I can just order the shell, but I would need a way of mounting it to my BO.
