Corvettes had fiberglass bodies starting in 1953. I'm sure that leaving the bags and fairings all white had some other reason than not having the ability to paint fiberglass.
The reason was white went with any color bike, no need to pump out multiple colors and end up with some inventory that never sells.
#411 and #1182!
And I have to echo the sentiment of Moondogger!
We bought these bikes because we wanted these bikes. And for me with 1500 globally, chances are slim seeing another Icon everyday as I do my ‘21 Road Glide Special. Now - to get a proper garage! In my enclosed trailer for now. Working on fabricating a new seat bracket to pull seat back 1.5” and lower it 2”. Will probably have to source a new seat shock or mount it at an angle.
Biggs HD! No gouging from this family run dealership!
I saw one in Tellico Plains today. It stands out with the white bags and fairing. If you already have a blue EG would be pretty easy to paint the fairing and bags white as they come right off. Get the seat redone in white with a black insert on top.
Much cheaper than buying the Revival. A white trunk if you have a Ultra might even go with it. The Revival wont be collectible in my opinion any more than the anniversary models were.
I collected two so far! lol. Harley might call it a collectible. I call it my Sunday go to meeting bike

Back in the day...accessory parts like fairings were commonly gel coated in white. It was up to the end user back then to paint to match. I was told if the part was to be painted then no pigment needed to be added. But without pigment, the fiberglass would change color - like and old surfboard.
Anyone besides me think the Mods should start an icon forum area? There is a CVO area...so why not have an ICON forum that will grow as models are added?
There is now a Facebook page for Icon Revival owners.
