I really like the hard candy colors, I just don't think I would want it all the time. Wonder how they are going to be on resale in a few years when the novelty of them is past?

I don't mind the loud colors...I must be getting soft in my old age :-)

I think they ought to bring candy apple back!

I like them all. Think the green is too much on the Road Glide. Looks better on the smaller bikes.

My bike is red so I am not one to speak. That said, I've seen all the flake colors on various bikes and IMHO I have only liked the red on tje 72 Sporty. I had high hopes for the green but I think it looks garish.

I think the red flake works well on the Sporty because it's on a smaller bike and the 72 used the smaller 2.2 gal tank. On the BT bikes it just screams at you.

I'm ok with the crazy colors, just not a fan of the painted wheels. I wasn't crazy about the painted black ones that are getting very common, but I am getting used to them. but now they are red, blue, or whatever. I remember the good ol' days when wheels where chrome.

I went with Gold Metal Flake on my 48. I love how MoCo just painted the tank gold and blacked everything out. It is not too gaudy or obnoxious.

I like the green, but I think it's too much on the RG. That blue would be perfect on the RG though.

34k. Sweet Jeebus. I've bought houses for less than that.

I saw the blue CVO Road King today . I didn't care for it . The lighter shade of blue has a pattern in it that reminds me of wallpaper. It would get old quick .
