popular? There were many years that olive was the ONLY color available.

The Heritage softwail in green looks very old school and takes one back.

I believe the Harleys in the early years started out as gray, black and olive drab.

I like the green on the CVO...

I like the Apple Green Streetglide. I'm not sure if it will have an enduring appeal, or look as dated in a few years as some of the schemes the MoCo was using in the '90s look today.

I actually think it looks great on the Nightster, best color I've seen on that bike.
I also like the green on xcelr8's bike.
Don't care for it on the other bikes pictured (including the CVO) but I can see where someone else might like it.
