The website shows a SGS in deadwood green denim, but only if you choose the dark finish.

There's no mention anywhere that some color options are limited and others aren't.....where that info came from?

Others too as you have found out

My theory is that this is part of Harley’s “Enthusiasts” model. Where there are “hidden” options that the general buyer does not know about, but that Enthusiasts do.

Even if not part of the Enthusiasts model - I like the idea of a “hidden” option. It creates excitement for me, discovering those options that are a bit exclusive to those to are really enthusiasts of the Harley brand.

The colors may be limited.

The SGS in Deadwood Green Denim is limited to 750 - and even Laidlaws could not get me one.

I was able to find one though - and I now own one of the 750

Are you saying this dealer has 2 limited paint color motorcycles? Are the other 2 limited as well? This is Brandon Harley Davidson. I stopped by there last week. Also that is the RKS in the special color so you can see it against the others. It has a lot of dark flake in it. The marketing guy used his camera flashlight to show me. I bet it looks great in the sun.

Sorry - I am not seeing the SGS color option for Deadwood Green Denim on the H-D website. Can you provide a link?

The limited number of bikes for the SGS in Deadwood Green Denim info came from two separate dealers who were trying to find the bike for me. Both also told me that the color was only being offered as kind of a “first edition”

daniel's profile shows he's in Brazil, so perhaps HD's website is different from U.S.?

You make it sound like it was a secret menu from IN-N-OUT. So are you implying that not all Harley owners are "REAL" enthusiasts

I acknowledge that the option is not currently present at the USA website (it was at the time of the reveal...I've seen it).....but it can be found on International markets....the print screen attached is from the UK site (maybe it won't be widely available in the US?)

Brazil's website is indeed different, but my browser's homepage is the USA site....I recall seeing Deadwood green denim for the Street Glide Special at the time of the reveal....but looking closely, Sanjuro is correct when he says the color isn't there....

It's present at international versions of the site....maybe it won't be widely available in the US?

Since both Black Jack Metallic (for the RKS) and Deadwood Green Denim (for the SGS) appear on all other countries...could it be a glitch on US site?
