There is one at my dealer here they were trying to sell me yesterday. I just don't care for the other blacked out parts. I like the black and chrome contrast soo.... I polished up the 10 for therapy..

^^^Nothing prettier than a shiny black and chrome bike imo. I loved my black and chrome Ultra.......for about 50 miles. Then out came the detail spray.

Ya. Your bike is sweet. And better looking than the new one imo. They asked me if I was interested in the last CVO RGU. Nah. I'm good. Just sunk a ton into mine. Funny. I told.the wife I was trading in the 16 for the 16 CVO. She was ok with that. But had a fit about the **** I'd buy AFTER I got the new bike. Lol.

Here's mine now. Wish the Black quartz showed in pics.

I wouldnt ever buy a denim/ flat/ matte painted vehicle.

It looks cheap, dated, and tacky IMO. Why have your brand new bike look like a 30 year old piece of junk some poor guy that lives in a camper just spent his life savings in rattle cans and zip ties on fixing it up, the day it rolls out of the dealership?

Thank you sir. If I didn't have kids I would probably have more bikes. Lol. It's my only vice.

this is my black denim bike after i'd owned it for 4 years. maybe it's just me, but I don't think it looks like a '30 year old piece of junk....'

I love my White Hot Denim Street Glide. To me the best part about the Denim paint is the ease of maintenance. Just wash and dry. No waxing involved. I always get compliments on the color.
