Default RK Classic - Pacific Blue Pearl & Vivid Black!!

The dealer in C. Springs has one in and that color combination is just incredible.[sm=smiley20.gif][sm=smiley20.gif][sm=smiley20.gif][sm=smiley20.gif][sm=smiley20.gif]

5/5IMHO.

Someone here on the forum mentioned ordering one a couple of weeks ago...I don't remember who you were but I sure hope you are patient and don't change your mind. Best '08 color combination from HD this year.

Yeah, that is a very nice color combo. Every time I go to a dealer I see one. Last weekend was the first '08 RK Classic in that color.

That is the one I ordered. I was a little reluctant to order that color combination since I had not seen it in person. I am relieved to hear it looks good. Mine will be coming in the first week of October.

Saw an Ultra this past weekend in that combo. Looked great!! Very cool combo. Looked even better that the Softy Custom I had previously seen in those colors.

I just went yesterday to pick up a friends Road King Classic in that color, looks good on the website, but is just incredible in person. Like to give kudos to Starved Rock HD in Ottawa, IL for doing a great job with finding the bike and the whole transaction, it has almost been a year since we both took the Riders Edge course there, and they have always been great to deal with. The worst part was following him home for 80 miles in my truck! I did take a bunch of pictures, I will try and get one up soon.

I've seen just such an 08 RKC in that color. I would agree with you that is it a beautiful bike. It is clearly one of the better 08 colors out there.

I almost ordered my RKC in that color, but was equally struck by the Crimson Red Sunglow. I went with an ABS equipped Crimson Red. The Pacific Blue Pearl/Vivid Black was a close second.
