If you pull the trigger, you should think about an audio amp while your painting. That is if you love to listen to music while on the road.

The whole point in this post was just me expressing my disappointment over the fact that the FLTRU is not available in denim black. A member brought up the idea of having it painted denim. I didn't think to do that. I came here hoping for some suggestions. I got a couple of good ones and one not so good one. Like I have already stated, I will call around to some paint shops to see what it costs to do something like that.

If you don't mind, let me give you a little bit of insight. First, if you have nothing constructive to add to the post, move on. Second, like your first grade teacher told you many many years ago, punctuation is your friend.

Hey Exammo, examine this. Buy a vivid black one and take some sandpaper to it.

I came here hoping for some suggestions.
Not sure what you thought anyone could suggest. Only one place you can buy the FLTR Ultra. And if they don't offer the color you want, either you buy what's available or you don't. It's not that complicated.

I guess we could start a letter writing campaign to add that color so they can sell one more motorcycle.....................

HD does custom paint. Why not just special order the RGU in black denim? I don't get that friggin flat look either but it ain't my money.
