Nice bikes! I have always had solid black bikes. Still one of my favorites. My 2001 Fatboy got knocked over in front of house and had some scrapes on tins, so I decided to change it up. Added some pearl white and a red pinstripe. Sometimes I really like it, sometimes I wish stayed solid black, sometimes I wish I went all white - guess I need more bikes!

Mine is really white.
It was just spray canned flat black when I bought it. I thought white would be a nice change.

More money and more bikes - you can never have enough of both.

Mostly white with a bit of teal thrown in for contrast... I have toyed with the idea of a white seat and a set of white Buco-style bubble bags

Do it! I have the bubble bags from bbreproductions, and I can't say enough good things about them or the company. A class act all the way.

It looks more blue from the side, but it is actually mostly white.
