agreed, wish they would have offered it in 14 when I bought mine. I’ve owned more blue cars than anything but no blue motorcycle yet

I tried getting a LR in Jade Green or Amber Whiskey back in 2015, My dealer tried locating one in the HD warehouse with no luck on either color. He found a few at other dealers who were asking more than I was willing to pay plus I would have had to pay for transport to my dealership. I ended up taking the Vivid Black one that they had coming in. If HD would have allowed me I would have shelled out for one in Voodoo Purple (which was a color for the 2014 Street Bob):




I would have been willing to pay extra for that!

I absolutely would have paid extra for that color too. Back when I had my candy orange Iron 883 my buddy liked it so much he wanted to buy one too. He told me he found a purple one and he had to have it. I thought he was crazy buying a purple bike but when I saw it I realized that was one of my favorite colors I'd ever seen on any vehicle. Stunning to see in person. I really wish Harley would bring back those hard candy colors, they were amazing, the cancun blue is another favorite. I think the MOCO has been a little slack on the colors lately, only ones I've seen recently that I really liked were the zephyer blue and that burnt orange color.

Back on topic I think the black on the LR fits the throwback styling of the bike, looks great, but my next bike will be a brighter color with some pearl or flake in the paint that pops in the sun.

It was spring 2018, I was going through life content with my Sportster, but in the back of my mind there was the thought to get a Low Rider one day. I met a friend at a dealership one Sat because he was trading in for a Street Glide. By the time I got home that night, all his new bike euphoria had infected me, so I started browsing the used inventory of dealers all around me.

That night I see a dealership 20 min from my job has a Superior Blue '14 LR. I almost crap my pants. Mind you, I was in no way ready for this ($$), but I knew if I missed this bike I would regret it. I called about it the next day, and they said someone put a deposit on it, but come on down, we have a Cosmic Pearl Blue. The CP Blue looked more like green out in the sunshine, and it was a '16, so even more $$. I took it for a ride, but it wasn't what I wanted. So, back to work I went. partly relieved because I wasn't going to have to figure out how to pay for a new bike.

The next day I get a call back...the Superior Blue is available. I almost crap my pants for the second time. I go down again on my lunch break and this is what I see...

Um, HECK YEAH! Fortunately I picked up some side work that summer and I got it paid off by the end of the year. I love this bike. 😍

Great story behind your LR. When I was at my HD dealer back in 2015 I was there to buy a 2015 Silver and Black one but unknown to me or my salesman someone got there about 45 minutes before I did and was with another salesman completing a sale.
