Default Question - Fairings?
At dinner the other night a friend and I were talking about CVO bikes. I was telling him that I was seriously considering a RG CVO that the local dealer had coming.

He was saying he didn't like the fairings on the CVO bikes, Ultra specifically.

Is there a difference? I have pulled pics and cannot tell.

Your freind may not like the paint choice on the CVO fairings but it's my understanding the fairings for the CVO bikes are the same as the standard HD line.

You are correct. The fairing is painted same color as bike instead of the black fairing on stock bikes.

There are two fairings that I am aware of that Harley has the road glide and electra glide so I am not sure what would be different on a CVO other then Paint, unless you friend was referring to the difference between the Road Glide and the Electra Glide.

Farings are all the same. Paint is the only difference, inner faring is painted on CVO's.

Um yeah..I was gonna put that in my post but didn't.


His argument was that the Ultra and the CVO Ultra had different fairings.

Or the RG was different from the CVO RG...

Thanks again...
