If it was me I know I wouldn't be happy with an overlay. The Harley CVO fender from Kutter is $725 and includes everything, just needs paint. That's the route I'm going. There's tons of nice custom fenders out there but for the price and garantee that the CVO bags will line up I'm stick with the CVO.

i vote replacement fender too, the overlay you've gotta cut half your factory fender off. when i did a fender i sold my factory to help cover the extra cost of the full fender. you also can't go wrong with bad dad. my painter told me it was bar none the best glass he has ever painted

This is an overlay, and I think it doesn't look bad at all. Got it for $375 compared to the price of an actual fender.

They use to, I don't believe they do anymore. I would already have it if they did. I'm a big fan of buying pre painted parts, no reasonable painters local for me.

I did the cvo style bags and found a cvo fender and fascia cheap on craigslist. I got a great deal. I would never do an overlay cause to me it looks halfass. Save a little extra and get the real deal.
