Can someone help me please? I can't make out the chart because it's blurry. I'm interested in purchasing a new Switchback, but don't know what the 2017 colors are. I just know I'm not interested in the 2016 colors at all. Thank you.

Many people believe there will be no Switchback in 2017.

I was wondering that too... I'll start by guessing Vivid Black might be one of the three options

Yup was thinking the same thing, but new motors and Superior Blue / Bullet Silver has my attention. Now I'll wait to see comes out to the dealers meeting.

BUT with Road Kings coming out with some seriously awesome colors for 2017. I could be easily swayed.

Superior Blue / Bullet Silver (NEW)
