I purchased the Dyna WG in vivid black,and i love it, I did not think i would like the sunglow one, then two weeks later i went back to the dealer for some stuff and sitting on the floor was the sunglow and when i seen it i thought it looked fantastic, the pictures do not do them justice at all. I suggest look at both in person the decide what YOU like,not the masses.

Candy red sunglow, in the sun the paint really pops out and looks great.

I thought about the Pewter Pearl but ended up going with Black. The only color that really knocks my socks off on a SG is Cobalt Blue (I think that's the name). One good thing about black is allot of accessories come in black standard so you do ot have to spend extra $ for painting.

What kind of question is this!!!? Vivid black is cheaper. Black never goes out of style. That's all I got ;-) - No wait a minute. Black's faster too.

Well I can not argue that black looks good. But I swear that Vivid black scratches just staring at it. But if you get black just don't ever look at it closely in the sunlight because all you will see is scratches. Just look at the new ones on the floor they already have scratches.

But red is not for me. I do like the new SE Ultra's orangethough. Next bike will be a two tone with the right colors. No more Vivid black in my future.

Yes, Black is the fastest color, if you are in a race for collecting DUST! Excuse me while you decide, I gotta go ride!

I bought a 09 Ultra in black and black always looks nice. I tried hard to get the red hot sunglo and found one at another dealer but they felt I should pay a premium as it was the color I wanted. I did not mind paying the $600. extra that HD charges for the color but I said no to the markup the other dealer wanted so I bought mine in black way under msrp.

A month later the darn wife ends up getting a sunglo red 09 Street Glide it is darn sharp.

I was torn between the two colors, asked allot of people what they thought and all the women said the redhot looked the best. I went with the vivid black. What the hell was i thinking?? all the WOMEN liked red.
