Default I know it's early but: 2019 Colors

Guys, I know its early but....... I was disappointed in the color combinations of the 2018's. They were ok, but just ok. I own a 2017 and absolutely love the color I got. I really liked all of the colors for 2017 and wouldve been happy with any of them. When I looked at the colors of the 18's, the only one I liked was the wicked cherry and red on the touring line. In fact i think the colors on the softail line was better than the touring line.......... Hopefully, the 19's will be better. For the record, loved the laguna orange, they didnt offer that on the ultra.... Anyone looking to trade on the next year?



Cant go wrong with blue and silver....... Love my bike

I hear ya...I'm struggling with colors this year. I want to pick up a Road Glide. Not sure if I want the standard or special due to chrome or blacked out. In the back of my mind I think about waiting until the 2019's are announced to see what those colors might be.

That Bonneville white blacked out looks KILLER!

I also LOVE the Gunship gray on the RG CVO. Wish they offered that color on a more "affordable" option.

On the 2019 colors....I bet they offer black......

I was going to buy a new red Streetglide for 2018. I currently have a 2008 Streetglide. When I saw the red for this year I was woefully disappointed. I like the red on the Specials but I don't like the Specials. The red on the Standards is terrible. I think Harley hired a new college graduate lady engineer and asked her to come up with the new red for 2018. She picked the same color as the fingernail polish she was wearing that day. My first Harley was in 1971. It was a 1967 xlch. I've had a Harley ever since. I am so disappointed in Harley I'm going to look at new Indians this Spring.

Color Choice is like Slip On Choice...... a matter of taste.....to each their own. I personally agree the 18 colors were lackluster. Love my Velocity Red 17, to me, much richer and vibrant than the Wicked Red of the 18s........again to each their own.

IMO a lot of the colors are pretty lame. the "denim" matte colors have always looked awful, and the denim and gloss paint two tones look even worse. they just look cheap and make the bike look like an old piece of junk that has sat out in the sun for a decade with zero care.

Also the two tones are getting strange as well as the GIANT gaudy HD logos that are now painted in and crooked look terrible. IDK what Harley is thinking but what happened to having a nice single/solid, simple, classy color that isnt mottled up with some ridiculous badging, stripes, or a shitty flat finish? A clean and simple paint job and build looks far better than some gaudy unusual colored paint trying for attention.

I have a 2017 Road Glide and I love the Billet Silver. I also like the blacked out special but still love my color.As far as the 2018's go I saw the brown Road glide the other day and it is very nice in person. Much better than it looks on line.

I was looking at the Indians this fall. You will be disappointed in their color combinations as well. Some are pretty cool but the touring Indian line looks like crap as well.

Yes, Im sure black will be made available. You know, cant go wrong buying a black Harley.
