Default The Ultimate Love/Hate Color: 2011 Apple Green

Owning mine for two years now, I've dug around these forums for pics of this color just to see different folks representations of this color scheme. From all the comments I've read, it's a "you have to see it in person, it's incredible" or "god almighty thats uglier than all hell" type of color. I didn't ask about other models but, per HD, only 403 FLHX were made this color.

Post 'em up. Touring, specifically, but Softails and Sportsters should represent as well.

Here's mine:

I'm typically not a fan but the bike in the picture in this thread looks very nicely done. The exhaust makes the black lower saddle bag look good (normally not a fan of two tone bags like that but it's looks great with black exhaust), front fender and wheel set it off. If it were mine I would lose the Harley tank decals ASAP, but I like the two tone tank just not the yellow Harley sign.

Damn fine color. I like the oddball colors that HD came out with, get tired of seeing the typical black, silver, red colors. That green looks great. I'm also a fan of the Dragonfly Green Pearl that they came out with too.

I like this color, and I also like 2015's Radioactive green. I ordered my bike in '13 as a fresh '14 model, and then kicked myself in the *** when the radioactive green came out. Your bike looks good that's for sure.

It is a love or hate color. Have had many very positive comments, and a few unsolicited mixed comments. lol 2011 RKC. Dont have any decent pics, you get the idea.

Well it's not a decal ontop, it's actually cleared over from the factory. And it's more of a green than yellow, but I have seen another guy remove it and put an old Harley metal badge in its place.
