That's one way to do it.... BTW your garage is awesome. You must be single with no kids.

Ya. I like the RK a lot. Thought about getting one just to beat around town on. I don't get why they pulled off part of what makes it cool. Give me a shout when you come up this way. Well have a beer.

The denim is the clear over the paint.

Indy by me took his fairing to a painter. Bought the base coat clear coat from Harley. When the painter sprayed the clear it dried denim. Dealership ate that paint job.

My 08 is dark blue denim (only year I think they did the color) and I love it. I don't see it a lot and get compliments on it all the time. It was a pain to find someone to match the paint for the rear fender and extended bags when I got them, but I'd consider another denim in a heart beat as long as it was a color I really liked.

I got my black denim street glide last year, wouldn't hesitate to get another one. I actually went back and forth for a long time on it. I loved the look, but heard horror stories on how easy it was to scratch it, how soft the paint was, etc. But after a year, I love it And, I'm glad I pulled the trigger on it

i had a 2010 roadglide for 4 years, can't get a much bigger front end than that and i never noticed any shiny spots on the fairing. clean it properly and you won't have any problems.

here's an idea. you don't like the color, don't buy it. a few posts up was from a guy who had the sand camo and he loved it. i wouldn't necessarily buy it, but i'm not in the business of making decisions for everyone. i figure they're paying the note, they can get what they want. and just for the record, i thought my black denim was awesome. i would buy it again.

Had a 08 Street Bob in denim black, just got a 17 Road King Special in denim charcoal. Love the denim. Love how it wears with time.

Paint is very easy to maintain. I've used nothing but water and rag. I'd definitely do it again.

What he said. Also, too many people doing bikes, cars, trucks in satin black. I like being different.
