Hi all,

I was originally in the market for a second hand Road King but he was a good salesman at Black Bear Newmarket dealership in the UK, in a week or so should have my hands on a brand new Road King fitted with a stage one in Kinetic Green.
Took a lot of time trying to decide what colour, red, green or black, finally went with green as its unusual. The salesman told me that there will probably only be two or three Road Kings of that colour in the UK, is he right? do you know how may HD's are produced in the custom colours for that year?.
Will post pictures when I get it.

unlikely... I've found 4 dealers in the UK with Kinetic Green Road Kings just on Google.

Look, not wanting to Pee-in-your-Weetabix, but just enjoy your bike!
The only way you'll own an exclusive paint is to have it one off painted.

Factory 'custom' paints are limited runs...usually in hundreds.
Many of those custom painted bikes I saw in the Daytona, had numbers on them to show how many in the run there was.

I've seen a Kinetic Green locally to me down saaaafff from you, and it's a great colour! (so there's another one)

Is it British Racing Green? Good luck with the new addition. I love my Road King and I'm sure you will too.

There isn't a single 'correct' BRG, but the H-D colour certainly qualifies as being a good substitute. I haven't seen one in the flesh, but pics on-line look good.

It will be unusual. While there may be more where you are located it certainly won’t be everywhere you go, you know like a black Harley.
I have yet to see the same color of my bike anywhere I have been to.

Congratulations on the new ride. But be prepared for a long week, I’d be waiting by their front door

Well mate, nobody in Ireland will bother you. Unless you fly the Union Jack on the back of the bike. Which I would recommend against.

How many HD dealers are there in the UK? If they ALL ordered in only 2 or 3, Im still betting its going to be a low number. My 01 Sporty was a 'factory custom' paint job, one of only 2 bikes in that scheme sold at that dealership. In the 19 years I owned that bike, I *NEVER* saw another Sporty in that color combo. So...you may actually get a rarer than usual bike.

Enjoy your ride. Stay safe.
