It was hard to judge the Black Pearl off just the HD website. After I saw one in the sun I was hooked. But I bought right at the 06/07 model change. They had a few Vivid Black Ultras and I could not pass up the deal I got on the Vivid Black Ultra.

I will have to agree a Vivid BLack with chrome is hard to beat.
If I had the chance again I would not mind the Black Pearl.

I think I would spend some time with it before you make a change. It will be easier to maintain than Vivid Black and with the right type of paint care products you will have a winner. See if you can get your hands on some Klasse All In One (AIO) and some of their Sealat Glaze, this stuff makesall dark colors really pop and doesn't take as much work as some of the Zaino products, although Zaino's stuff is really nice also.Get the small quantities, it goes a long long way.I use it on my 08anniversery SG andas well as my cars. Not only does itgive a phenominal gloss, it lasts a long time. This is were I get my stuff but many places carry it.

Son's '05 RK is Black Pearl... In the Sun Light it's AWESOME - but in the shade just looks like a soft gray...

 

My 1st HD was a 05 Black Pearl RK. I fell in love with it as soon as I saw it in the dealer's lot, of course it was sitting in the sun I had the unfortunate opportunity to be in the market for a new bike less than a year after a woman pulled out in front of meand totalled my bike. The new 07's just came out and I looked real hard at the deep cobalt blue pearl, but it looked purple to me. The dealer had a blak cherry pearl in stock, but no black pearl. I thought it over for a couple weeks and had to go back with the same black pearl I had. I still love it. Now, if they had the new darl blue pearl available in 07 it could be a different story.

Check out Kury Panacea smoked taillights. They look awesome with black pearl and they are super bright

black pearl was my 2nd choice with pewter denim being 1st. since i was looking for 06's i went with the cleanest one i could find and it's was this one. thats ok though, i dont think there are many black baggers out there.[sm=icon_rofl.gif]

 

Black Pearl is awsome. I recently painted my brother-inlaws dyna in HOK Black Diamond and Red Candy and it is awsome in the sun.

 

My Heritage is black pearl and fire red pearl. I didn't like the black pearl at first because of the green hue but it grew on me. The two colors together somehow just do it for me. Probably because I've always been a fan of theblack and red combo.

 

like, i just painted my bike black pearl, in the shade it looks dark charcol metal flake but when the sun hits it does it rock, i think you made the right choice

 

I wanted a Black Pearl or Colbolt Blue but unfortunately when I went to buy the 07's were just released and all they had left in 06 was vivid black and they did cut me a sweet deal but if I had it to do over I would have searched around a little and got the color I wanted. I hate vivid black personally, its the hardest color to keep clean and shows every little scratch.

 

Being new to this forum I forgot to upload a pic of my bro- dyna. Had to resize them. The pics do not do it justice. Anyway, Black pearl is a beautiful color.
