I don't like it looks like an unfinished primered bike to me. JMO

I am not a fan of the subdued paint that HD is putting on their bikes. Nice and shinny for me...IMHO.

It makes me want to get out the 2000 grit, color sand, and buff it to a high shine. Never was a fan of denim from the git go.

Just looks like a primered paint job to me. I just can't get into it. It would probably would look better blacked out vs chromed out. Probably a good bike if you want to spend more time riding and less time keeping it clean. My local dealer told me that it's popular with the Hells Angels MC as they buy to ride and are less worried or **** about dusting/cleaning everytime they get off the bike. I don't know how true this is but it made sense to me.

Right because they NEVER clean thier bikes, the Oakland Angels always had a ton of bikes at the Grand National Roadster Show every year!

I like the denim. That is why I bought the black denim Street Bob in '06 and now the black denim Street Glide in '10.

Is the denim really not very popular? Opinions?

I have the denim pewter fat bob and love it.... Dirt and dust doesn't show up and I'm not washing and waxing my bike all the time. Simply wipe it off with windex. Everywhere I took it last summer I got compliments and people wanted to know about the denim look. I didn't really care for the way the red denim bike looked but the other colors looked great.

We all see things differently. Myself, I don't like the denim at all. I think the colors on my bike are terrific, but know that lots don't like it. It's good that we're like that or we'd all be owning bikes exactly the same. If the denim trips your trigger, go for it.
