Default Looked at 08' colors

I'm overseas and the AAFES dealer had the new colors for me to look at. I wasn't really impressed by any of them but they might look totally different on the bike. Also not all of the two tone colors i've seen listed in this forum were available. Don't know if HD is holding back on releasing all the colors to the dealers or not, just have to wait and see. Of the colors I was shown the Pacific Blue Pearl/Vivid Black and the Crimson Red Sunglo/Candy Red Sunglo to me looked the best. Copperhead Pearl/Red Hot and Golden Glow/Black Glow weren't among the colors he showed me. AAFES dealer said they weren't available for an 08', just have to wait and see I guess.

What Month due HD usually release their next years bikes? Someone mentioned it was as early as July the year before... is that right?

I'm not sure if they actually release the models in July or just release the information on the new models. I doubt they're going to have any big changes on the Softails for '08 since they just had some big changes for '07. The only change I think they're going to do to the Softail lineup is discontinue a couple of the models.

I bought my '07 on August 8, 2006 but I'm pretty sure I started agonizing over it in July.
