To be honest, I agree with the not wanting to pay extra. I didn't. However, go to a car dealership. Been like that for years and years. Go to an automotive paint supply store. Check the difference in prices for different colors within the same paint system. You might even learn a thing or two that would reinforce your position, such as the fact that black is one of the least expensive colors to buy. It used to be any how.

I still doubt you even own a bike and give your own hats away!

 

and I thought there was no such think as a stupid question!!

 

What was the question?? OH YA..PAINT....I think I love denim and gloss...I dont get it . Why does one call it crappy..I understand some dont like denim but try not to let it get you down... just saying

 

OK, crappy was a bit harsh, didnt mean the finish on the Black Denim bikes was a crap paintjob, just black or grey primer in general. seeing some of the other colors in the denim finish as HD calls it look pretty good. Blue etc. And ive owned alot of bikes since i was 16, never been without one. Will post some pics of my new FatBob (Black) soon. Why would someone waste time on a Forum if they didnt ride?

 

I spent a couple of years surfing the forums when I was trying to decide what Harley I wanted. (I didnt have a bike). The first time I saw a Fat Bob it was parked outside of the dealer. I saw it from the road . I saw the dual healight and thought someone had traided a Triumph or something. When I got closer I could see what I thought was the coolest looking Harley I had ever seen (in black denim). I thought I would buy one of those but I bet its 20k or something. It was 15k. I saved and paid my truck off early, it took me 2 years but I got one.

What the heck ,sorry I seemed to be babbling, I just took a 5 hour energy. LOL

 

 

Happens all the time. It's called trolling. Need to borrow a camera?

 

Right there with you on that. I ride mine alot and plan to go from the beautiful, two-tone paint job to denim black. Easy to clean = more time riding. The only thing I know about "wack" is what I do with my pee-pee.
But I am certifiable, if thats what you mean.

 

Hey, when you're right, you're right!! I love my brilliant silver denim paint. And I think I like the pewter even better. Chrome goes so well with them, as Piginablanket has helped me prove.

So 3 cars and 2 bikes huh? No evidence posted of any of it huh? Where I come from we call that trolling. I hear they call it that here on hdforums too.

Harley charges extra for all of their colors besides vivid black. That's how it works. You buy basic black, or you pay more for an optional color.

I personally went with the contrasting chrome/black accessories and denim tins, and I'm happy I did. I also love to check out all the blacked out bikes. I think Harley hit a gold mine when they introduced the denim colors. That maroon denim and dark blue denim from a few years ago were awesome!

 

Well I think the Demin colors grow on ya after time and black motor added to the older SB's so I bought one. The SB gets a lot of attention without a lot of time spent cleaning and polishing.



Then just so as not to be a Wack Job I have the PC 98 Sinister Blue.



And the 98 Vivid Black.



Funny how the latter two take a lot more time to clean and polish before and after a ride.
