Agree that the color (finish) is pretty cool looking (also saw the FLHX in blue denim) ... just doesn't excite me enough to run out and buy a new bike.

I wasn't real sure about them at first. After looking at a Pewter Denim Street Glide today, I really like it! Might even get one before the end of the year. I do think the chrome looks out of place on it though. It'd look better blacked out or possibly brushed.

I HATE it and the silver equivalent. For my money I want the clear coat too (except on the matte black V ROD). I saw both the silver and the blue denim last night and did I say I HATE these two color/finishes cause I HATE them. Other than those two finishes (which I HATE by the way) life with Harley is a big warm fuzzy.

I have a black denim street bob, so I obviously like the denim. the new Pewter color is awesome... looks old school to me. if they had the evel knievel-esque paint job ('06 anniversary dyna) on the street bob, that's what I'd be riding right now.

My personal preference is against the blue denim. I have not seen a pewter in person, but the blue seemed too scale model-ish.
