Default Road Glide Special - Cosmic Blue or Black Quartz

So as the end of 2016 is drawing closer and the colors have been out for awhile, which color do you like better on 16 Road Glide Specials?

I vote 4 Black Quartz looks cool with all the flake in it.

The cosmic blue but I'm biased. I had it narrowed down to those 2 colors but the blue looks better in the sun to me and the flake in the black quartz doesn't show up until you're pretty close to it.

That was my dilemma. I had them pull them out in the sun. The blue went kind of dull. The Black Quartz really lit up. Certain angles it looks almost root beer. The graphics on the cosmic blue are ok. But the blue lacks something.

I have the color matched lowers too.

Out of those two I would go with the quartz black.If the blue was a different shade Then blue would have been it.I chose The Red myself.

I picked up the 2016 Street Glide Special in Cosmic Blue Pearl on saturday. My dealership only had the Cosmic Blue, Hard Candy Black Gold, and Hard Candy Gold Flake. I didn't want black as I have had black bikes in the past and they are a bitch to keep looking nice but do look nice when clean. The Cosmic Blue really pops in the sunlight! Just ordered the lower color matched fairings for her....

Thinking about the lowers someday. Have the painted inner and it makes a big difference.

I like the Cosmic Blue paint but absolutely hate the graphics on the fairing. Anything that can be done with the graphics? Black Quartz looked dull and boring indoors. After seeing some pics of it outdoors, I'm going to have to see one outdoors.
