Thanks for posting those pics porkchop..... they really show the purple coming through in the sunlight.

 

I know it looks purple in the pictures but it is really more a merlot or dark wine color, really cool. Thinking of doing some of the parts in brass and crome, change it up a bit, think it would look good with cognac colored seat,

 

nice picture,s to
when i have to decide i choose the merlot
looks good whit chrome but thats my
both colors a great but the merlot is not avail for the rkc
and the rk std whit the hardbags is not for sale in europe

 

The orange is a little bright for my tastes. I saw the Merlot up close and personal and it is sharp! Just my

 

merlot

 

I just ordered a 2011 SG in Sedona. It will arrive in about 3 weeks. The reason i chose the Sedona is because it is almost a perfect match to my Truck. Here is a pic to show the spectrum of color in the bright sun light.

 

And I thought my wifes's Nightster was a curb scraper!

I like the color!

 

Seen the Sedona on a RK,didn't care for it,not like the HD orange.
I'd go for the Merlot,sharp color.

 

When I saw the Merlot Sunglo on the floor under spot lights, I decided then to buy a new 2011. If I didn't see that color that day, I'd still be riding my 2006 Ultra. That color made me real interested and started making me think about the other reasons to buy the newer bike. They had just put it on the floor that morning, and after I bought it that evening, another guy tried to buy it before they removed it from the floor.

 

A few days before Christmas I ordered a 2011 FLHR Sedona Orange.
Color is a personal thing for sure.
Going from a Black Street Glide - which looks dirty within a few minutes after you wash it, to the Sedona Orange is the right color for me :-)
I'm not a fan of "Bass Boat" style metal flake paint - even though the Merlot is a sharp color.
I explain to others that the Sedona Orange is more of a metallic and the Merlot is a metal flake style of paint.
Congrats on your new ride...
As for me - Spring cant get here soon enough!
