Default Candy Orange Fat Boy S

The better half liked the idea of cruise, ABS and the 110 - but just couldn't get into the denim or vivid black on the bike. After some talk with the dealer they agreed to swap the tins from her 13 FB Lo to the 16 FB S as part of the trade. We both think the orange and black look really sharp, the burst stuff contrasts it pretty well without being too flashy. She's vertically challenged to say the least so went with the Shotgun shock again so it's all good.

The bars are actually the stock bars off my 16 RGS, just had a little fab work done so the wiring comes out the bottom instead of the front (like every other bar in the world) and had them powdercoated. Still have to add the mirrors, mustache engine guard, and D&D lowcat but she's liking the look so far........

Nice! I was thinking similar if I decide to go back to a slim it would be a S but my wife really loved my red 2012 slim and I am thinking that if I get the S instead of the pro street I would ask them to switch the black or green for the red of the slim

It's the HD signature series. Sent it to MCC to narrow, lower and add heat. Added padding to backrest too.

That would be sharp, always liked the red on the slim. Would look great with the red brake caliper.

This is very cool. It looks great

I had a 13 street bob in Candy Orange. Best HD color in many years in my opinion.


Funny thing. The Tsunami in Japan created a shortage of a pigment used to creat the previous orange. (I think it was Daytona orange.). HD scrambled to create Candy Orange because they couldn't make their normal orange.

It turned out to be really nice.

Also, I color matched a fairing to candy orange, but HD doesn't publish the codes. A local guys played with yellows and gold flakes to get it right. It came out perfect.

I think it was Sedona orange they came out with in 11. My 13 RG was candy orange too, bought a Rushmore toupak and had the inner painted - gave my painter fits but finally got it matched.
