roadglide bezel change

I have an 07 roadglide,I took the bubble out cause I like the look. Went to dealership and they told me the trim for the 09/10 wouldn't fit because thry have different headlight assemblies. It was only $8 so I ordered one anyways. Has anyone done this and will it fit? Thanks

I have one on my '07. It fit fine. Supposedly for the 2009 CVO model. Sounds like they have gotten cheaper? Seems I paid more for mine. From my knowledge, I think the only difference in the headlight assembly is that the cvo has glass lense and not plastic.

Mine snapped right in, 08 and yeah I paid 40ish for mine, maybe your not getting the HD one? Or I got ripped off, again. I do know that the new 09 lenses are designed to be uncovered, our headlights will break if hit with anything substantial. Knock on wood no problems as of yet.

I've got one on my 07 as well, snaps right on. The price difference is the paint. The cheaper ones (less than $10) are flat black, the more expensive are high gloss black.

The 2010s are flat black and the 09 CVO bikes come in gloss black and the price is that much different.

Thanks for the replies. It is the flat black, not the cvo one. Glad I ordered one and hopefully won't have any prob with rocks, hehe.

You might have problems with the bugs. After a couple hundred mile ride, I got home and really had to dig the bug guts out of the openings between the lights and bezel. After that I put the bubble back on.
