I do not have a link. I saw the bike with my own eyes, in person, in Northern Georgia.
I do not personally like the normal denim finish in any color. But the clearcoated pewter knocked my socks off.

If you want to see the denim colors with clear coat just look at the regular bikes. The denim look is all in the clear coat. Pewter Denim is pewter pearl with a flat clear, same base coat with different clear. Denim blue is Pacific Blue, a great color. The same with the Silver and black. Alot of dealerships can't move the denim bikes so the just scuff and reclear them.

Blueride, thanks m'man, appreciate it. Can't really bash people for their tastes...mine being plain and simple.
I've had more positive comments than negative...and it seems to grow on those who don't like it at first.
One thing I've noticed is, it's a dust magnet...really hard to keep it clean. Not sure if it's because of a more porous finish, or it just stands out more because it's flat.
Another thing I've noticed...it's still a Harley, and it turns heads, in motion or standing still.
Oh, and ladies love it...(that, or the stupid grin I'm always wearin' is infectious).
Thanks again, take care, and enjoy.

I have the dark blue denim. I absolutely love the color, it looks kinda of subdued/military to me. I just use soap and water and it cleans up perfect. The only problem I have with it is, if you do scratch it, your screwed, it has to be repainted. So until I scratch the hell out of it I'll enjoy the denim look.

I also have the dark blue denim on my 08 flhx. Before I bought it I went to three dealers. The first two dealers told me clean it with soap and water only. The dealer I purchased from was the only one who knew the real method. Soap and water when washing, ammonia based windex in between washes and you can also use harley gloss if you dont want the denim paint to achieve its weathered look.

pewter denim??? ah man, I thought it was primer and gettin ready to shoot it. Pewters are way easier to clean , no wax, although as someone said that its like a pair of jeans, itll eventually get dull and look all used up. But thats cool, by then Id have enuff money to get that cool paint job i want.
