ORIGINAL: Rhubarb

Went to the HD site.
Picked paint options, green/black

Showed with solid fender. Then clicked get brochure with this color spec. It was full 2-tone.

Did you actually see it with solid fender at the dealer, or did you just go by the image?

I saw one at a dealer in SoCal that had the full 2-tone, haven't seen any with like the image shows.
Yes I saw it, I had just gotten through with the loan app and while waiting I noticed something different figured out it was the fenders.


I am gettin vivid black and then get custom paint work.

HD pulled the same stuff on the 06 Wide Glides. The original promotional shots of the 06 WGs showed them with a sissy bar/pad stock (as they had always come in the past). What do they do??? No sissy bar for 06...bastards! So I had to buy one. Oh well.

I totally agree with you, that the two tone fenders is a very nice touch...

I'd go with Vivid black as it is the least $ then get a custom paint job, then you have the bad rad ride that nobody else does.

These guys do great work .

or maybe this against black instead of Silver

I'll add insult to injury on this one..... stopped by the dealership today and saw a 1200 Sporty, it got the two-tone fenders. In fact, every bike with that color set had two-tone fenders except the dyna. Oh well.....

Howdy,

In the fall of 2002 I decided I wanted a 2003 100th Anniversary FXD with the metal tank emblem. What color choices did I have then????

Solid Black or Solid Gunmetal Blue Pearl, WOW!!!
