Saw one in that color and a candy color and in hope that I don't offend anyone here, to me they both looked like chick's bikes. Nothing personal but pass for me.
Regarding the Black Denim, I love mine but as already stated, it is becoming a sea of them so I plan on adding satin blue flames fo mine this winter just so I can find my bike in a parking lot of others LOL!

bob, I wouldn't call them "chicks bikes" but they certainly are colorful and I don't know how long it would be before you get sick of the color.

Black denim is definitely the safer option... The satin blue flames would look real nice on that denim black.

I came to conclusion about the paint job... I call it the sperm bike! looks like a big sperm swimming after about 10 minutes of looking at it. /shrug I commented abt the similarity to the counter guy and he burst out laughing that I thought so, because he said the other counter guys also said the same thing after staring at it for a day.
All I see when I look at the tank now is a big sperm. Thanks Wkyd. Hehehe.

Thanks for the feedback, I definitely don't want purple in any way...

Can you tell me what highway pegs you have on your bike? They look like exactly what I am looking for (not too far forward).

I've actually taken those off and added an engine guard with different pegs. You can find those new HERE or if you are interested in used and painted black, PM me.

Its a personal opinion for sure. I like my big blue pearl it actually looks like two different colors in the dark or shade compared to the sunlight. But I am a chick so.....lol

I think your bike looks cool. For some reason the big blue pearl bikes like yours looks like a different blue compared to the BBP and vivid black bikes which look more purple from pics tat I see on he Internet.

I have gone the safe option and ordered denim black.

I like the blue color, just not the sperm logo. Had they omitted that and just done a logo there it would be a great paintjob, the color combo is nice.

You can't go wrong with black

I went for the big flashy green, because i knew that when I got tired of it... i could always pick up some used tins and shoot them what ever color i want and put the originals away.

I like the blue but the logo and the tear drop thingy it's in would have to go. My 2006 SB is flat black and I'm looking to have it painted. Just to many of the on the road. I'm a black bike guy so I either go glossy black with white pin stripe (wide) or black & gray, can't decide. Hard choice for you.
