Just busting ***** guys.
I do love white bikes though the paint on this, It was almost a silver white, like a Lexus or Mercedes paint.
Doesn't really shine out in the street lights and pix the way it did in person.

Thats my Wife, she thought it was cool to but not her style either.

I think the paint is awesome. Not a fan of the bars. This bagger / funky ape hangers craze needs to move on. Hahaha. But the paint is beautiful!

Its a nice bike. But maybe its just me when you just add parts to these new bikes they all start looking the same. For me back in my day you tore them down fabricated parts bought some too and put it back together. Just about every home built bike looked different. But don't get me wrong I like most bikes.

So, do you think this is an HD paint job, custom paint job, or a wrap? My new to me 2022 SGS is Sand Pearl, (kinda white), with NO pinstriping or anything. Thinking a MILD wrap might be the answer to add a little pop. Maybe pinstriping.....

I love the sand pearl color but some subtle pinstripping would really make it pop!

That certainly catches your eye, a bit much for me but it is nice.

Thanks to the gods, I never had a head-on collision with a car while riding my old FLHs.
With all that stuff installed in front of me.
The mere thought of it was a nightmare—crashing that overloaded old clunker into a car; it was
ghastly.

Accordingly, one rode one’s FLH in a "sensible" manner—restrained and cautious; these big bikes were
not racers—they were tourers.

I recall a gentleman in Dortmund on his first test ride—on an FLH—after a turbocharger had been
installed, in the 1970s.
A 1976 FLH—the beast threw him off after the first launch from a traffic light, and slammed into a
phone booth. Totaled.

Back then, 4.500,- DM down the drain, the biker from Berlin was very dissatisfied, to put it mildly.
The joy of seeing that—it was priceless; something like that, you never forget...

Mike

If it was chrome instead blacked out I'd change the handlebars and ride it.
I agree with the above post about pointed handlebars, they'd gut you like a dear in a crash.

Im not a fan of those bars and the wheels look a little too "Busy" for my tastes. But DAMN! That paint job is very nice.
