When I was young an old Harley guy told me "Harleys come in two colors ...... black and ugly!". Now I'm an old Harley guy and everyone one I have owned has been black! I'm old school ....... never got past loving the look of black and chrome!
What do they charge for that? Anything to make a new sale I guess. They seem kind of desperate to sell bikes these days.
I did infact buy a black bike, but it was the best of what was available (in my eyes). However the previous year it was the colour (Candy Hot Rod Red Flake) that sold me on buying my RGS, so when the dealer agreed to swop my tins over and also my custom seat I grabbed the chance, cost me an extra $1400 but I didnt care as I got to keep my fav colour but also had a one off bike
I like the silver flux/black fuse. But there wasn’t enough contrast. If the silver was lighter I’d have bought it. So I went with scorched orange/denim black and I love it.
