I see they also have it in denim, but it's not on the customizer yet, and they don't have, or I cannot find,
the old options page.
Personally, I love it. I'd like to see the rear fender and see if it has the upgraded rear as well.
Cannot have too much black on a bike, you know.

It must be that I don't fit the demographic they reportedly were targeting (young, African American, Hispanic) that the HD art department (I wouldn't call them stylists) was looking toward but that is one butt ugly ride. Also, the beautiful styling elements of the Road King have been erased with the murdered look. The beautiful aircraft inspired nacelle headlight is now just a big bulbous piece of metal. I wouldn't trade the looks of my 2005 Road King for that new lump on an even swap from a stylistic standpoint. It also strikes me how behind the curve the art department seems to be on trends. The blacked out look has somewhat come and gone. How sad and lacking in innovation IMO. If Harley is trying to attract a younger demographic, I think they are going to have to do MUCH better than this and come up with design/color elements that are innovative and stimulative to sales. I hate to be a wet blanket but stylistically, it just smacks of putting lipstick on a pig and calling the pig beautiful. Oh, wait a minute, maybe the pig analogy is a futuristic throw-forward or up to a 21st century hog that got barbequed. Beauty must truly reside in the eye of the beholder but I am going to need an antiemetic to swallow this one.
