Default The ordering process has begun for my road glide conversion!

After much internal debate and shopping for a used road glide, I have decided to convert my 2006 EGC over. Ordered my inner and outer today, and as more funds become available, I will order the rest of my parts.

Once mocked up, I am going to map out the paint design, and am going to go with a modified 2012 CVO paint scheme. I have always loved the black and white "skunk" paint, and also love the 2013 chrome yellow. So I will be changing the white to chrome yellow.

I plan to post up my progress as I go. Most likely will have all my parts by the end of September.

A lot of parts involved. Did you research it down to the last nut and bolt both for a parts list and total cost? Are you doing the handle bars too?

Tagging so I can follow along, will be interesting project.
