Here's what it looks like right after the rain. I added some contrast with vivid black latch covers and tour pak latches. I was thinking of getting black lowers but dunno how it would look against the chrome headlight / running lights.
Added benefit is cagers think you're the POPO, so they mind their manners.
I'm with you Joe. That Pearl is a BEAUTIFUL color for sure. Last week i got my 2013 Midnight Blue & Brilliant Sliver Ultra Limited. It's also beautiful and I've not found it too difficult to keep clean after 500 miles! In all seriousness, i don't think it will be as bad a black at all, but certainly, not as easy as whites. Just another thought...
I have a white gold pearl/black pearl UC, really love the contrast. The white gold is amazing in the sun. The only thing is you can't leave dead flies on it too long or it stains the paint, really hard to remove. Buy usually only the fairing and lowers get dirty.
