The hard candy street glide colours look good, but the graphics look like squeegee kids drew all over the bike. The RGS and SGS would look better without any strips at all. They should put metallic black on the bottom of the RGU, the plain black doesn't do it justice.

The 2016 RGU was the only trade I was considering. I have seen the Black and silver, the Cosmic blue, and Black in person. The Black and Silver looks good but was not for us. The panels on the Red just did not look right. As for plain Black it is just flat out boring on any bike anymore. I have a black FB that will have to due as far as black goes.
We are going with the Superior Blue. Been out of town going by the dealer this morning.
I am going to add the LED's between fender and saddle bags. May add spoiler lights on the bags. Already have the pipes I want and heavy breather so that should due at least until it gets home.

Colors are ok, nothing really "stand out". The graphics do stand out just not in a very creative way. I would have liked to see some "bright" colors/schemes on the tourers.

HIDEOUS! The stripe looks like an after thought. Talk about a botched model design. Im so glad I didnt waste a year of my life waiting for the 16's because I would still be waiting. Who the F would buy the pink one? Maybe its a tribute to same sex marriages. Totally disappointed on the color design for 16. Moco struck out in my book on this year.

I with the crowd that doesn't like the stripes on the SGS and RGS, but I want the extras that come with the specials. What's a fellow supposed to do? From what I've gathered, they are wanting to differentiate between the standard and the special. Sure wish they would come up with a different scheme. I will be in the market for a new bike pretty soon and have no clue what I will do. May just have to go with a CVO, but damn the price.

Harley has always struggled with colors and still do. I thought after ***** G retired things would get better and maybe they have somewhat, but not much.

I'm with the others the SGS/RGS graphic. When I get the itch to contemplate a new ride, I just have to look at the graphics/striping to remind me that this isn't the year as I would want the upgrades. 16 will be no different so the 09 is getting a 21".

Add me to the list that doesn't care for the stripes. The striping seems like a poor way to differentiate an otherwise desirable trim package.

The pin stripes have always been cheesy. I like them about as much as flames, not at all. The pin stripes look stupid on the solid color bikes but not too bad on the 2-tone to break up the 2 colors. so is everyone glad they waited for the 16's? Kind of boring.
