How about classic bar and shield? About a 30 min, at home job..
I haven't rule that out, I've been looking through older parts manuals and did get some of the knockoff CVO bar and shields last year and had them powder coated but never put them on. One of the CVO softails came with a skull under the script, that looks cool but don't know about fitment. I think something, anything, would look better than the script that's on it now
this is what I had played around with before to get an idea
Looks great! I'm still bouncing back and forth between these bars nd the carlini gangster apes myself. How tall are you and where do these bars put your hands compared to your shoulders?
Also, what license plate holder is that? I was going to get the custom dynamics license plate eliminator but Im still not sold on the little bulges that cover the holes for the turn signal bolts. I don't mind the little indents for those bolts being exposed.
Thanks
Im 5'8" on a good day. Felt comfortable on the 20 miles I did so far. The bars sit right about at shoulder level. License plate, floorboards tail lights shifters are all vity's design out of Italy.

I tried something similar out on my Road Glide but it never really worked for me.

I will be following this. I feel the same about the stock emblem and its driving me nuts. I do love the CVO bar and shield, but it just looks weird on the black bike. To me anyway. I haven't decided if I want a custom paint job, or another emblem but its going to have to be something. Interested in what you come up with.
If you can find the artist, and I haven't really looked hard to seek one out, they are the ones that can visualize and "see" something that us mere mortals cannot. Let them study the flow, color, trim on the bike and see what would work best. I'm thinking the painted on plain bar and shield would look good, but then just a little hint of pinstriping on the bags, fenders and tank to complement it. I like the black look, but also like the chrome accents here and there to give it just a little "flare"
