Thanks for posting this.

It’s like Ford and the moco conspired to introduce these new colors to us at the same time.

I’m not kidding.

not bad this sort of red on the FXLRST, I always thought this model needed colors, the black and the grey are too sad I find...

That pastel grey that's so popular these days looks like the *** on a tick (abdomen if you wanna get technical) to MXJunky's eye.

I saw the red in person, not really a red, more of a color of a brick. Lot of brown tones to it; not sure if I like it or not

So Harley added a gloss to that red oxide flat paint from a few years ago? 😄

From 00-02 Harley made some really great colors. All the DX's and T-Sports wore em .Luxury Rich Red, Luxury Blue Metallic, Diamond Ice, Concord Purple, Jade Sunglo, Suede Green Pearl. Could bring back 1-2 of these on these bikes and blow everyone's mind. Instead yet another shade of gray lol......still with bronze wheels across the board.

The colors without and metallic or pearl are cheaper to produce. Not sure why they insist on these bronze wheels. They don’t match any of these bikes except perhaps one with black paint. They should go to a black wheel with machined highlights for contrast. But I doubt they will….machining a highlight would add manufacturing cost and Harley is doing everything they can to remove cost and enhance op margin.

The bronze with the black looks just as good as the black rims in my eyes. Plus they never look dirty. Pittsburgh Steelers and Smokey and the bandit. It’s what drew me to this bike. I agree about the other colors are not a good match for the bronze.
