I don't know how to post pics on the new but if someone that knows how will give me there address I will send it to them and they can post.

 

I've checked with almost every dealer in BC and none have one on the floor.
Good idea about the chips.

Regarding the Flame Blue Pearl/Vivid Black - IMO the colors on this bike hold their own alongside the Merlot/Cherry bikes. While comparing the custom colored bikes my eyes were often drawn back to the Blue/Black bike - I guess I'd be very happy with this one too.quote]

Thanks. I do like the Flame Blue/Black bike. I just wondered about the custom set. I didn't want to get my dealer to order one up and then find out it looked f***ing pinkish when it showed up!

 

The cherry red is bright red with lots of flake in it...the merlot is a very dark burgundy or black cherry depending on sun or shade & also has lots of flake!

 

local dealer has a cherry red/merlot UC in stock, not limited and when you look at an angle in the sunlight i thought you could pick up some green hues on the merlot color. especially on top of bag lids and if the sun hit the lowers just right. in my opinion this is a very cool color combo.

 

Yeah, waiting definitely has its advantages sometimes. Can I ask what pipes you are putting on in stage1?

I picked up my Ultra Classic in the Merlot Sunglo/Cherry Red Sunglo on Dec. 23. I first saw it on Dec. 22 and couldn't believe how beautiful it is. I spent all that night figuring out how I could afford to get it......I ended up trading in my 2005 GoldWing and have really enjoyed the bike so far. Just wish the weather was a little warmer so I could ride it more. Everone that has seen it is impressed with the colors. It does change as you walk around it and the way the sunlight hits it.

Ya' got a camera????

 

I had the dealer from which I purchased myh 2010 Limited take both the Blue Pearl/Vivid Black and a Merlot Sunglo/Cherry Red Sunglo outside on a sunny day. Although the Blue/Black looked very nice, there is much more metallic flake in the Merlot/Cherry and that put me over the top in deciding to purchase the Merlot/Cherry.

In the sun, the Merlot metal flake looks either yellow gold, orange, or green as you are walking around the bike. It is simply amazing how it changes colors. In the shade, the bike looks like a simple black/red paint scheme.

Today I tried to take some pictures but the camera will not do it justice. I have a pretty sophisticated camera and I tried with/without a circular polarizer and simply could not capture the paint accurately. The camera cannot "see" what the human eye does.

This is a case where one must see the color in person. In my opinion, it is unique. If I can ever capture a decent image, I'll post it.
