Default Two-tone Street Glides Coming!

Glad to see HD will be offering two-tone SG's in '09 as part of their Custom Color options. Pretty limited views on the website, but the paint design seems similar to the '08 Anniversary SG design.

Can't say I'm crazy about the colors, but I'll wait to see them in person. I like the SG, and have a lot of SG parts on my '04 EG, but sometimes a single color is a bit much to my eye.

I've been real curious about the black ice/blue ice since I first read about it. I want to see it in person even though I don't think it is going to be much different than the Jake and Elwood Blue they offered a few years ago.

Black ice and blue ice are the color changing paints. It was nice looking but I bet it would be a bitch to match if you sctatch it. They had tins painted that color when I went to York's open house yesterday. They also had Roadking in the rootbeer colors

I thought the solid color was one of the distinguishing factors between the SG and UC? Will the two tone SG's have those ugly pinstripes??

The rootbeer colored 2 toned Roadking was nice. I didnt think I would like those colors, but it was really nice.

I have to say that the Two tone Rootbeer was an awesome looking color. I took the tour a couple weeks ago and saw it as well.

I wasn't waiting for January for one, but it should be cool!

I think two-tone fits the UC and Classic, but the SG should have been left monochromatic......IMO.
