I agree with rflowers - that blue and black looks sweet!

Any color as long as it's black.

Just go and look at a few dealers and see for yourself. The Candy Red Sunglo does look real sweet in the light.

Tough call this year because none of the colors really pop out at me. A couple do look good though, just not spectacular. I like the Crimson Red Sunglow and Candy Red Sunglow combo. I also like the Pacific Blue and Vivid Black, but only because nothing else really jumps out. Also, check out the White Gold Pearl in the sun if you can find one. My buddies Arctic White Pearlin the sun is specutacular. Maybe the WGP is too.

It's whatever reaches out and grabs you. Look around, 'cause when you see it, you'll know.

I'll second the choice. Nothing shines better.

Who careswhat the opinions of a bunch of strangers are in your color selection ? The best advise you got was not to rely on the Harley Davidson web site's pics---the representation of the colors on that site if terrible,not even close.

Go to an actual dealer on a sunny day and see for yourself,you'll be muchbetter off.If you're going to trust anything online let me suggest the "Official Picture Threads" at the top of the Touring forum.

They all look fine to me.. Has anyone besides me and my local dealership seen the slow down on the new anniversary color? Locally, many of the new bikes being sold are mainly the black and black pearl... Salesman told me many look at but are beginning to snubb the copper and black ??!!

Guess we'll be seeing the 108th anniversary tins on ebay soon along with the 95th and 100th colors..

appears to be a quick burn-out.... at least in my local..

Yes, I have heard the same from the salesmen at my local dealership. However, seems to me I see a lot of new sig pics on HDF now that are featuring the Copper Top. I don't care too much for it as my color of choice, but I do like it on the RK and I do like the badging.

Like said earleir, try and see as many colors as you can in person, in the sun. The local dealership will roll bikes outside for you if you ask.

Good luck.

A great example of this was when I was in the dealership tonight and saw a RK in the new Golden Glow and Black Glow scheme. At first I did not recognize the color because it looked so much better than the website representation. It looks like crap on the site. Again, not my personal choice, but it looked a million times better in person, so does the Purple Haze (I hate to admit it. I felt gay just looking at it.).
