I've never done this to a HD but have done it a lot on scale models due to running out of paint. Putting flat over gloss looks flat. Gloss over flat looks glossy but seems to lose some depth. A good gloss paint with a quality clear coat looks like you can stick your hand in it like water.

Spend $20 on a can of the black denim, paint something, then cover it with gloss. See how it looks before risking the bike.

That's a safer idea IMHO. I was getting ready for a ride a couple weeks ago, and picked up a rag one of my friends used to wipe his bike down with. After I got done I asked him if he used polish...answer was yes. Now my denim tank has a glossy "look" on the sides...
