I’ve decided to trade my Fat Boy S in on a Road Glide. My dilemma is I do not know if I want to stick with the blacked out theme as my Fat Boy S is or go with chrome this time around. I want color this time around and not Vivid Black. I built out two Road Glides the way I want them on Harley’s website. I added the extended bags to the standard Road Glide as i really like the looks of those with the 4.5" mufflers. I know looks is all personal preference, just throwing out my dilemma to you guys. What do you guys think of these two?
Swap the bright red on the chrome..No brainer for me.
I do not really like chrome on my cages but a bike is different. It's small enough that it needs to POP.
Red or white Vet with a little accent of black POPs with out the chrome. Not a bike. Matt and blacked out chrome on a bike is boring after a short time.
Chrome is a little maintenance especially an old Springer with spokes.

I like the red color better than burgundy, I like chrome but I think a mixture of chrome and black looks good, the black wheels looks much better to me, I think the red bike with chrome engine and exhaust with the black wheels would look good. At the end of the day you are the one spending around 30k when all is said and done so make sure its what YOU like!
