2010 Ultra Limited custom colors
Does anyone know where I can get a real pic of the merlot sunglo/cherry sunglo color scheme on this bike (anyone know anyone who's bought one yet)?
The color examples on the Harley website aren't that accurate unless they are an acutal pic.
I asked my dealer if he had any but he said he didn't even know if he could get one. You see he knows I'm going to buy one and he has a flame blue pearl/vivid black one on the floor that he's trying to sell me. I really like it but I would also really like to see what this cusom color actually looks like first.
Thanks to everyone for all their good advice so far (overwhelmingly in favor).

Pikes Peak HD had all three bikes lined up in a row:
Ultra Classic Merlot/Cherry
Ultra Classic Limited Merlot/Cherry
Ultra Classic Limited Flame Blue Pearl/Vivid Black
Here are some of what I liked about all of them:
The Merlot/Cherry is a beautiful color but you can't appreciate it unless its in the sun.
The tour pack on the UC-Limited is about 90% single tone (Merlot -little Cherry) while the TP on the UC has a greater mix of Merlot/Cherry (uhmmm...maybe 75% Merlot/25% Cherry)...here I thought the UC color scheme was better.
The UC has more Cherry on the tank than the UCL.
The UCL has more Cherry on the front fender than the UC.
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.
In my final assessment of both bikes, I thought that I liked the higher % mix of Merlot/Cherry on the Ultra better than on the Limited and as long as I could get one with ABS I would use the difference in cost between the two to pick up some V&H Monster Ovals and a couple racks (TP and fenders).
Long story -short...I think you need to find a dealer that has these bikes and take a long look at them (It took me three trips to decide which one I liked best...now I have to decide if I'm going to pull the trigger).
Good luck.

That is why I ordered mine... it also keeps it off the show room floor where no ones butt sits on it but mine. The dealer is going to let us take pics from the time it is unloaded from the truck to the prep bay and then while it is on the dyno after the stage1 install, have to wait for it, but I am a bit **** that way.......
