Default Traded my Road Glide for a Limited

I traded my RGU for a Limited. Put a deposit on the Limited and will pick it up today. I had to choose between the Superior Blue and the Deep Jade/Vivid Black combo. i ended up choosing the Blue and am now second guessing myself since both catch my eye. It's not to late to change. I know it's my decision, but wondering what you guys thought of those colors. Also wondering if color affects resale value.

Last question. I was thinking of having them add an amp to the bike before picking it up since this would make it part of the warranty. If I did that, would I have to change the speakers as well in order to get more sound? I don't have enough cash to do speakers as well, but I just can't hear the tunes well at highway speeds under my full face?



Thanks

Don't bother with any of the Harley speaker/amp stuff. The 2015's are louder than the previous 2013 and older years but you won't be happy with the Harley stuff and I highly doubt it would be covered under the bike's warranty anyway. Check out the audio forum here you can replace the speakers and add an amp for ~$500-600.

As for colors.. I can't stand green.. but its not my bike so who cares what I think..

You will love the Limited. I really like the Superior Blue. The color really pops in the sunlight. As for the speakers, if you wear a full face helmet, have you considered using the headset?

You can't really be concerned about resale value based on the color you choose? Seriously?

Get the one you like the best without concern for resale...Superior Blue.

After a lot of consideration I went with the green. Something about it just reminded me of my old man and all of his green cars. I appreciate all of the input and after riding home listening to the audio system, I think I'll just save some money and leave it alone. It's much louder than my 2011 RGU.

I only had 21,000 miles on it. Really didn't start riding it until last year.

If you aren't going to listen to my advice why even ask for it?
