I had a similar issue when I cloned my 03 FLHTPI into a FLHTCI.
There was one dealer, mentioned often on these forums as a great place to buy parts online ( I won't name them to save their backside from HD, but go to the end of the alphabet) and they got me every part I ordered except one.
Ready for this... they got me a tour pack and a batwing (the tank and bags I got off EBAY) but the part I couldn't get from any dealer was the tank insert for the fuel fill console.
What the nice dealer did though, and they went out of their way to do this for me, was plug the stock number in their parts locator, and found a dealer one state over from me who had it on the shelf.
I called that dealer and they had no problem selling it to me, gave them a CC number and it was in my mailbox the next day!
If you can get the part number, try sneaking it in as an internet order and hope nobody will catch it.

Try bike salvage businesses for a totalled '09 SERG.
While doing my recent bike repaint project, my local dealer had an '09 SERG in the service department on a lift and a tech was carefully removing the right side tank emblem. I asked the tech about it and he said the bike wash kid had snagged an edge of the HD script and bent it pulling it away from the tank and the tech was removing the bent script to replace it with a new one. I asked about buying the removed script and was told the old one was going back to HD; otherwise there would be a heavy fine on the dealership.
Good luck on your efforts to get the script--it's a good one. Perhaps in these difficult economic times for HD and its dealers, one or the other won't be so strict on selling these restriicted parts.

If you have a great camera you could take a picture of it. Find yourself a painter/airbrush artist who could recreate it for you in paint. I know its not the same but if you want something bad sometimes you need to make due with what you got.
Try putting a post in the CVO forum here. My local dealer seems to have no problem ordering me in proprietary stuff for my 100th anniversary RKC...but they KNOW I own one. Maybe you could find a current owner of an 09 CVO who could order one for you?

I ran into this same problem 15 years ago. My oldest daughter wanted "Fatboy" emblems on her custom painted new 883. NO WAY IN HEII. And this was just a plain old Harley Fatboy. Couldn't find ANY dealer that could or would help, and that daughter was working at the same H-D dealership where we bought the little Sportster all the while. I guess some things never change.
