i get what they are trying to do with the whole "dark custom" bit, its the new wave for young riders. i have seen that paint done a year ago on a guys bike who was doing his own thing....now he's kinda pissed....can't really blame him.
i think harley does so much research on how to sell and who to promote to these will sell well, i like the concept but its just like any other harley that roles off the showroom floor.....STOCK!

I think it's pretty cool. Sure, it's less paint, but the work involved is more. The underlying metal is ground with a pattern in it, not just scuffed and cleared. I've seen a couple of the clearcoated bare metal tins and they look sweet.

I've seen that particular one on the showroom floor and although it looks cool, I'd rather spend the $2k on a custom paint job.

Maybe in 5 years Harley will put out what is cool today like flake and lace. I think Blue Moon Kustoms did this set.
