2009 CVO RG Headlight Bezel

OK, so I got my SE bezel in from Zanotti's today and had a less than pain-free installation. The factory clear lens cover popped off OK, but the new bezel didn't want to go on. Turns out that the headlight housing frame was protruding enough that I couldn't get the lower tabs of the new bezel to go into the slots in the bottom of the headlight opening. I ended up adjusting the headlight downward via the adjustment screws in the inner fairing so that I could get enough clearance to mount the bezel. My headlights have always seemed to be aimed a little high, so perhaps I fixed two problems at the same time. It's raining here in Atlanta today so I didn't have the opportunity to check the new aim of the headlights, so I hope I haven't overcompensated just to be able to mount the bezel. In any event, the new bezel is installed and looks great. Definitely changed the appearance of the front end for the better!

I didn't change the lamps - it will be interesting to see how long they last. I'm also interested to see how dirty it gets behind the bezel after a couple of months of road grime. Best "real" picture I have seen of it is on SprarkyO's post of his new Road Glide: Sparky's New Road Glide
