Default "Liberace" & "Sparkles" - The Hard Candy Custom Showroom

A home for those of us that bought Hard Candy Custom bikes with pride, and not just because SAMCRO bought all of the Black ones. Show 'em off!

I am a fan of the Hard Candy bikes and love my Big Red Flake.

Here's mine. '13, 96ci, Cycle Shacks, Nostalgia grips.

Prolly should have left out the "Liberace" part in thread title.

Saw a silver metalflake Sportster at the dealer yesterday. Have to admit, it would be a beautiful bike to ride around town on.

I think the "Liberace bike" joke has been an ongoing one for years in HD communities. I've literally had three different dudes call my bike that, lol! Doesn't bother me. I'm a fan of the Hard Candy Colors, but I like them all. Even the flat black..
