I've seen the '08 and '09 Red Sunglos side by side at dealership.

Both have nice metallics. The '09 is more reddish a bit lighter than the '08.

Both are nice but I prefer the '08 color.

Like stated above the 08 red is a deeper darker color, the 09 is a brighter red.

Cant help with the blue.

I believe the pacific blue was a dark metallic almost like a midnight blue and the flame blue is bright almost like an Iroc camaro or Viper.

IMO, the candy red is 'redder' and the red hot is 'oranger'.

the 09 red does not look red. It makes your bike look sickly. I bought the first 09FXDL that my dealer got in. I could have waited for the red. My first bike was red, so for sentimental reasons I considered the wait. However, my wife was already pissed that I was getting a new bike and I did not want to go through all of that again in 2 months so I went with the black. When the red finally came into the dealer I realized that I had made the right choice. On the FXDL it overshadows the chrome and the blacked out engine, instead of complimenting them. Some may like it, I don't. I like basic colors. If you look at that bike you think in the back of your mind, what color is that?
