I was looking at the white but opted for the orange instead (HOOK'EM HORNS). Here is one from a dealership i frequent. My buddy said it didn't stay there long. Like everyone said go with what YOU like. It will kill ya every time ya see one if ya don't. Will try and post the pics of the one i saw. they put a few aftermarket mods on it. Looks very hot to me.

Those of you saying it looks like a primer coat, have you seen the white denim in person? It looks anything but. I personally don't think it should be called denim. Unlike the black, this has a bit of a shine to it, like they painted it with a white denim paint then put a low gloss clearcoat on it. It also has metalic flake, again, unlike the other denim colors.

They should have named it differently.

Having seen both, I think the black denim works better on the SG. I think solid white on a bagger is too much, but to each his own, right? :-)

Not sure if the White denim will look 'grubby' without a lot of care. As much as I like denim paint on Rat Rods/Bikes I think for production bikes it is so 'yesterday' ! Sorry.

None of the Denims look like primer. Denim paint is the easiest paint I have ever had to keep clean, but you have to be careful because you cannot buff out scratches like with gloss clear coat. My bike hardly looks like red primer...The gold flake in the red and white denim pops very nicely in the light. I ersonally love it but obviously it is not everybody's cup of Joe. here is what the red looks like after 3 years of nothing but Harley Gloss..

Lance I cant believe that you like the color of Denim and Black Out! lol, your bike looks great man. I see you got the fairing GPS mount to work on your KW 6.5 recurve shield, very nice.

I agree that its not the typical harley denim, it is a semigloss large metalflake white. My favorite color is white and I did not like this color. However, I've only seen it in the showroom. I really hope it looks better outside.

How do you touch up nicks and stone chips? I have seen a few and you could tell it was touched up by the shiny spots on them. I love the concept of the paint but this would worry me.

I have a 2011 Fat Boy Lo in white denim and love it so far. Haven't really gotten any nicks or dings in it yet but then again its brand new so no clue on the keeping it clean aspect. But in the sunlight the metallics in the paint look amazing!!
