Hilarious! The 2016 will be blacker than the other blacks. The audio will go to 11. How bout a 2 tone black on black? That would be nice.

Mines black over black with black pinstripes and black ghost flames.

When I sold my truck, the guy who bought it said "I like the black Ford used on these older (07) trucks because it's more black than the new ones." The newer Ford black had metal flake in it.

The flat desert tan is one of my favorite of the newer colors. I'm sure the flat colors will certainly be "dated" since that's a trend right now.

mkguitar don't you ever paint that bike! I love that!

No paint, just chrome plate the entire thing including the seat for '16. Oh, and they should have a skulled-out version of every bike too because there is nothing more pleasurable than seeing what is left of people after they have rotted away.

I wish I could see a repeat of those changing colors like the limited ones used in '06. That blue gold green was beautiful. My riding buddy has a st with the green gold blue. I think the color was called Dragonfly Green. I don;t recall the blue color name.

Nigel Tufnel: It's like, how much more black could this be? and the answer is none. None more black.









I think where I am really going is that some colors are timeless...and others may not hold up and may "date" the bike.
Lord knows the '90's Softails with the peach frames and turquiose scallops painted on...don;t look so great.

a "limited" paint color may not even be appreciated for 50 years- I have a limited paint 1953 model...some like it but most don't. I am continually asked why I don;t paint it a "nicer color".





OP if you buy it, you better like it...the more "individualized" the color...the harder the resale may be.

Love the color on the '53 because it is original. Very nice!

The black on the 2016s is so darn black they had to add extra LED parking lights just so you can find it in the daytime.....Just looks like a big shadow....
