Confused

I'm trying to find out what frame is used for the 2012cvo softsil convertible. I know the frame model. I'm trying to find if it is the same as , say a fat boy of the same year.
I'm looking to fit stock forward controls . They don't offer for this model. Seem it would be a frame from another model they may have used.
Please help ..
Thanks in advanceDave

Pretty sure the CVO softail frame is the sane as the Fatboy and the Heritage

Did you look at the Frame & Jiffy Stand Assembly and compared the same for the Fat Boy (103)? Both parts says it starts with 47173-xx. The -xx is for the color code used, if I'm not mistaken. The Fat Boy has 47173-11BHP for gloss black, as is for the other Softails.

Thanks skratch. Seems like the CVO denim color had the 47173-12 frame. The CVO convertible was also an 2011, so they could have used some leftover frames.
