Default Fat Boy in Black

Is it tunnel vision? When I first looked at the 2008 Fat Boy on the H-D website, I swear the vivid black model had the same red accent as the 07 models. Today I looked at the website and the bike has a light blue accent. Am I crazy, or did they change the website to update the bike with its new color?

It may be a "Blue Slash",but to me it looks more like "Silver Slash" with blue pinstrip and letters.

I have a black '08 FB arriving next month.When I first saw the '08 line up, the first thing I noticed that they didn't even change the graphics. Now that Ichecked the HD web site again, Isee they at least changed the color of the grahics. I guess they blew their creative brain cells coming up with the rocker, so they weren't able to give the new FB a different tank graphic. Oh well, that won't matter once my ride gets here. Only 28 more days.
