Extremely nice! Love the color scheme of that bike. Looks "older" school.

Thank you!! That is B5 Blue and White Hot Pearl.

Technically it is called Blue Surf Pearl that is used on the late model Dodge Challenger and Charger with the white being a Harley Davidson color.
Got the bike in March of 2018, stripped her down immediately, few months later tins were back on.

I think HD would be wise to offer that type of paint scheme on more bikes. It just works, and is classic. You have good taste.

This was my second iteration. I initially had the Screamin Eagle Heavy Breather and Saddlemen seat. The seat was poor and did not help me at all. After 45 minutes, my butt and back were sore. The heavy breather interfered with braking action. I had to reach around to use the brake pedal.

Sweet Jesus that's a beautiful bike.
A Mustang Solo seat with diamond stich would be nice if you want that solo look back.

I guess I should drop a photo dump here from purchase date, to transformation, to when I sold it. Yes, I am no longer a Harley owner
