Default Has anyone seen the new colour Quartz black?
Looking at a 2016 Ultra LTD in Quartz Black. Going next week to see if a dealer in the city has one that I can look at. Has anyone seen it and how does it look?

It looks very nice -- much better than "Vivid" black.

My opinion only.

I haven't seen it but if it's a metallic black, I know I'd like it.

BTW...I saw a new purple touring bike yesterday. Not a fan.

I'm not a fan of purple either.....here are some pics a dealer sent me. The gold is more subtle outside.

A very rich looking color with tight metallic black/gold. Looks great clean and won't show fine scratches as much compared to vivid black. I have a 2016 Road Glide Special in this color and love it. I also have a vivid black Wide Glide. The vivid black needs to be clean at all times or it will show the dust.
Good luck with your choice.

That's exactly my thoughts. I've had 3 black bikes in the past (non metallic), it's a challenge working the swirls out and keeping it clean and shinny.
