Yep, I did this one last winter. Converted a CVO SG to a CVO RGC; to date, it's the best money/mod I've spent. I had a pretty good sized thread about it at the time, and the pics should still be up.
The Q is working from the parts list I put together, so hopefully there's no big gotchas. Biggest differences are the variation between <09 and >09 frames. Pretty much everything should carry over, but the real world test will be fun to watch unfold.

Looking good as it is coming along. Sharks with HogPro wheels are what I like. I have never owned a batwing but have had 2 sharks. Why do you need the extra pieces for teh mono tube kit? Are you funning it lowered and raising it back up or something or does it have to do with how the fork attaches to the top tree?

For those contemplating the conversion, the biggest change made to the Road Glide fairing mount stuff was in 2010, when they redesigned the fairing mount to allow for lower fairing on the highway bar. So basically, if you want to ever run lowers on the highway bar you need 2010 up Road Glide fairing mounts.

I've been considering converting to the RG fairing as well. Will be watching. Keep us posted.

Looking good, always love watching the transformation of something to something else!
Side note: you CAN use lowers on pre 2010 Road Glide. You just have to use non vented lowers that were made a stock item for the Road Glide like I have on my scoot.
As always, once I got my lowers installed, they changed the Road Glide fairing mounts to allow the vented lower fairing to fit!
"You will love hanging out in the tank and after awhile you'll wonder why it took so long to jump in."
Sharks are on top of the food chain for a reason!
