I really like the 03 eagle as shown a few post up. I also like the red white blue dyna anniversary (sales guy has two!)

My fav I saw was at the dealer show last summer was a CVO with a "ghost stripe" in the tank.

In my opinion HD has put out a lot of crappy paint sets in the last ten years, but I do think their getting better. Most of the time it's the tank emblems that make the bike look cheesey...I love the Black Pearl on my FLHX...But hate the tank emblem. Looks like Chinese cast iron. I love the earlier stuff , 40's thru early seventies... Simpler... Just my opinion. I do like some of the newest colors like Black Denim and the Tequilla Orange thing. I do have to say there is a certain appeal to the Copper and black...So you're not alone on that one Dickey.

Yeah, I wish the moco would put as much effort into todays bikes like they did that one. All their bikes should come with an oil cooler, like that one.

Buy the way, that's a picture off the internet from hd advertising. i had the same bike, but only have one crappy Polaroid of it.

Still think the nicest "stock" tank is the one on my Dyna...



But I do think there are better tank emblems out there than this one...
