I had been noticing little marks on the front of my gas tank with the denim black but had gloss black for years and it shows everything (swirl marks especially). I think the denim holds up pretty well. I have just been using the cleaner harley sells for the denim black and when I clean it the small marks just kind of disappear. I think its better than gloss even though I love how gloss black looks. Gloss orange looks pretty cool too and I dont see a lot of gloss orange streetbobs running around so it would be pretty original.

I agree with the gloss orange think it would look pretty good with all the black and also dont think it would it would show up all the mark's and crap ..but damn i do like the denim black...hmmmm denim orange ?????

Do they make an orange denim? Would love to see that. I had a black denim bike and only used windex on it for a year and it still looked brand new. Vivid black looks great but it does require some work. There are different products that eliminate swirl marks on vivid bikes. I use turtle wax black box and it always brings the finish back to like new.
