I recently sold my 03 Heritage Classic after spending 5 yrs and thousands on getting it the way I wanted it. (I thought) Then I realized that what I actually wanted was a RKC. So, I bought an 06 RKC in black cherry. Now, I sometimes think that it is a little "bland" (no offense to any other black cherry owners). What can I do to make it stick out and make it My Classic? Solo seat? Danny gray? Mustang? Other? Studs? No studs? Chrome luggage rack? Chubby wides or apes? etc etc etc.
I'm not much of a visionary so need help on what may be out there. (pics maybe). I, like most everyone else, am a BIG fan of Whiskers and Bmorebhoys bikes, and would like to get mine to those points. Can I do it with my black cherry?
I'm trying to save a few years and a few thousand of trial and error like I did on my Heritage.
Sorry to have so many questions. This is a great forum!

 

..the thing I like about my Black Cherry is that it IS subtle and low key a lot of the time..but when it is in direct sun-lite..you get the WOW factor from passersby...kind of the same reason I like Ghost Flames and not IN-YOUR-FACE flames...to each his own...but I don't want a "flashy" paint job anyway so for me Black Cherry is just right...but I'll admit...a little more "flake" in the paint wouldn't have hurt...just chrome the sh*t out of your's and it'll pop, don't worry...

 

It is subtle so perhaps something wild to accent the color, like distressed brown leather seat and/or brown wood accents? I know that would be crazy, but different!

Whatever you decide... black cherry is to me one of the most beautiful colors HD has ever done... And post PICS!!

Love my black cherry 06 RKC. Go to my garage to see my pics. I've got some goodies on it and a few more have been added since those pics were taken

 

To me it's a great color, dark at night and pops in the sun. It also goes well w/ chrome and black I think.

I agree that a brown seat could look great w/ it.

Here's what I've done so far.....

 

Not only is black cherry faster than plain old black, but it goes much better with chrome. It is the perfect Harley color and no longer available. But then I am somewhat bias.

 

Megiuars wax will do it.

 

I agree with who?me?, black cherry is the perfect color!

 

Get thin white walls and keep them clean.

That, keep it clean and the white walls white, a bit of chrome and you got a gorgeous bike.

 

I'd definitely keep a good coat of carnuba on there. Real carnuba, not synthetic. You'd be surprised how much that wakes up a paint job. I think a solo seat looks awesome on baggers...look at my sig pic.
