We put Screamin Eagle **** on our bikes all the time. Most riders could care less about the tank badge. Do it if its the look u want.

Thanks for your feedback and or opinions.

If it aint there outta be a law against it. Kinda like putting a Harley emblem on a Honda.

Very interesting observation. Obvious, yet it did not occur to me.

I think it's called "frontin".
Goes something like this......"wow is that a CVO Street glide!!??"
Then you either lie or admit it's not. Nothing good comes out of pretending to be what is not.

I had a RK tank badge on my 07 Superglide. Why? Because it looked way better than the one that was on there. I never had a single person give a damn. Or if they did, they kept it to themselves.
Seriously, do what you want with the emblem it's your bike.

Nope, wouldn't lie about a non CVO being a CVO. Just like the tank badge design. Proud Harley owner and just would use the badge for the looks not trying to make people believe my bike is something else.
