Some of us may not appreciate the "Flat" or "Matte" finish on the Forged Carbon Fiber components on the CVO Road Glide ST.

I get it!

I'm usually an advocate for the form to follow the function and I usually choose performance over cosmetics.

However, I felt the finish on the Carbon Fiber components on the CVO RG ST just looked un-finished to CVO standards.

My dealership does a lot of High-End Custom builds and one day I noticed they Clear Coated the Carbon Fiber Console and fenders on a Road Glide they had on the show room floor.

I liked the glossy shine and had them do mine!


I wanted to share this with the group.

So, what do you think? Opinions please!

 

HUGE improvement....

 

It is not forged, it is compression molded chopped pre-preg. There is no such thing as forged carbon fiber. it is either wetted dry cloth, pre-preg lay-up, or compression molded chopped pre-preg, which is the left overs from cutting ply shapes out of broadgoods.

 

It identifies as forged carbon, don't assume
