I just bought an 09SG in Pewter Pearl and love it. I added Blk powder coated front forks and Blk V&H Big Radius pipes to it. It seems to draw a crowd wherever it 's parked.

 

Funny you ask, I parked my Vivid Black SG next to a Pewter Pearl SG at Home Depot this weekend. Just as I got off my bike, the owner of the Pewter Pearl SG walked up and we had a long discussion comparing each bike side by side. I have to say that if I had to choose again, I might get the Pewter Pearl because it adds just a little bit more of that Bad Boy edge that I think makes the SG so popular. He felt the Vivid Black was more edgy and the only reason he didn't get it was because he couldn't find one at the time.

I will say that a clean Vivid Black bike gets more attention than Pewter Pearl when they are sitting side-by-side. But keeping Vivid Black clean requires twice the time to look presentable. In fact, you have to get Pewter Pearl pretty darn dirty to notice that it is dirty. On the other side, you save $500 with Vivid Black.

Compromise and get the Sunglow Red.

i love my vivid black but there is some sort of chemical that they put in the paint that attracts bugs. anyone else discovered this hidden chemical effect with vivid black? that pewter looks cool. almost like a subdued metal color. nice. hi ho silver, away.

 

Pewter Pearl is an awesome color. Gorgeous in the sunlight and very easy to keep clean. In fact, I wish HD would offer it for the Ultra Classic cause I'd definitely buy one.
I asked about the 2010 models hoping that it'll be offered next year but unfortunately, it won't. There's gonna be a Vivid Black/Pewter Pearl but not just Pewter Pearl.

 

I love mine it seems the more chrome acc. i put on it the sweeter it looks.

 

x2 I do know I'll never get another one I think I should have went with your compromise

 

I have a 2009 Street Glide in the Pewter Pearl Color... was thinking of adding some Custom Graphics to the bike... I would like some Opinions here...Please

What color or color's would look Good on this color...! I was thinging of maybe maroon and or even a darker Silver with the maroon...

 

Went with the Pewter Pearl on my 09 SG. First non-black bike I have owned. I havent had any noticable glare coming off the tank, but I'm not sure I would do the inner fairing too match. I am thinking I'll paint the inner fairing vivid black at some point.

 

I painted mine vivid black with silver metalflake

 

Looks great. I may have to do something similar when i get mine painted.
