This is as I got it 5 years ago.. Still looks the same ... But motor is a 106 now..

 

I would buy another one in a heartbeat! To bad they don't do Sand Camo Denim any more

 

Have had mine (SG) for 7 years..... water, fiber towel and done. Never had an issue, yes will own again. Looks same as day I got it.

 

I'm glad they don't. it's nice having one of the few in town. They didn't allocate many up north here. Mostly down south (where I bought mine).

 

Yeah, I have to get up that way this summer. I will hit you up.

 

got a sportster in black denim. it was really nice at first. cleaned it with windex and it always looked great. then i started riding a lot and paint wore poorly. any tiny scratch will show up as an ugly white mark that doesn't buff out. a friend has the same bike that has been used and abused and where his legs and belly rubbed on the tank there was a slight buffing effect. looks very bad now. if you are very careful and baby your bike, you'll be fine for a long time. if you are not so nice to your bike, the paint is unforgiving. i will never have a denim bike again.

 

that has not been my experience. this is my bike after owning it for 4 years, and over 40,000 miles. i take care of my stuff, but i do not 'baby' it. i found the paint to be very durable and easy to take care of.

 

^^^Maybe your belly doesn't hang as low as his buddy's?

 

Traded my 2010 X denim black in 2014 loved it... Wanted a CVO. Now I am looking for a 2013 denim black X at a good price. Loved the denim black.

I went back and forth between Black Denim and one of the red colors, as you can see from my sig pic, I got neither, ended up with vivid black. When its shined up, I looks sooooo good, but in hind sight, I should have done the denim instead, the Vivid id a PITA to keep looking "showroom" new.
