Thanks for the responses. I ended up going with "Vivid Black", as I think that will keep me happier in the long run.

 

Hell yeah! Did ya' trade in the Sporty, or keep it for fun?

 

Too late for op, but I’ve had mine for over two years and I’m right at 24,000 with several trips carrying a huge pack on my tiny little solo rack with barely a rub mark on my entire paint job. My tent rubbed just tiny spot on the rear fender that is really hardly noticeable and doesn’t look horrible if you do notice.

I’ve thoroughly enjoyed my denim paint. You’re supposed so use glass cleaner without ammonia by the way – which I only recently noticed myself. It hasn’t caused any problems. It’s nice to be able to just shoot it with Windex and wipe it down in between washes to keep it clean.

I’ve taken care of mine and maybe that makes a difference, but it is relatively flawless. I’ve certainly seen a number of vivid paint jobs that don’t appear as though they have fared nearly as well, but that may all be in the care they were given.

Enjoy your new Street Glide! You just made a helluva jump!
