RE: Purple and orange paint set on the Deluxe
To each their own. I would never dis another's bike. If they like it then it is cool. I personally like only a solid color bike. I have never been a two tone fan of any colors, but that's just me. As long as you like your bike that is all that matters. Someone will love those colors too. Have a good 4th!

i don't think anyone here was 'dissing' someone's ride. That bike was sittiing at a dealership (and may stay there for a quite some time)
I'm not a big fan of 2 tone but those 2 colors don't work together.....or at least not those 2 shades of those colors.
I do really like the two tone green and grey? i think it was that someone here has on their deluxe. That looks sweet imho.

that's the one i'm talking about. damm that is nice.
Yeah, i'm sure it does look better in person. I sometimes wonder why HD even has those pictures on their site where you can pick different colors ...they look nothing like the actual colors.

Harley Spectrum Paint is a great way to change things up when you get tired of the old look, especially if you want to keep the stock look of a Harley two tone.
In my case, I was tired of the color before I bought the bike, so I sent them to HSP, and for around $1,200.00, I got back a perfect paint job from Harley that looks stock Harley.
So, options are still available. It does take a couple of months, so plan it as a winter project.
BTW Blue Rose, I can't wait to see your bike with the new toys...

Hey Haksaw,
I have the Roadhouse Brand pipe. I did notice a performance increase with the install, then had stage one done a week later, better yet. The sound is a low deep rumble, not tinny high tones. I like the retro look & that you do not see anyone else running this pipe.
As for the orange & purple paint, I have seen that paint scheme on another bike, not a Deluxe, and I thought it did not look appealing, but taste is all in my mouth perhaps. I love that green & black though!

I thought the color combination was bad when I saw it on the H-D website, but I know those $hitty photos don't do colors justice either. Then a guy on this site bought an Ultra with that color combo and posted photos - man what a difference. Personally it is a little to feminine for me, but the colors worked together and they catch your eye in a BIG way. It's hard to be noticed on a stock machine, but that color combo is on way to do it. Not for me, but I couldn't help but admire it.
I'll see if I can find the thread and you can see what I mean.

OK I don't know if this link will work or not, but check out the picture of this guy's Ultra in his member profile. Again, the H-D official photo does not do it justice.
