Default Bike color
2002 Heritage Classic. It was the best deal around when I got it last year. I get more complements than not on the dark blue metallic and mint original paint job though I wouldn't have chosen these colors had I bought it new. It is different and does remind me of the colors Harley did in the 30's, 40's and 50's. Looking for opinions on the color. Here's the pictures

I like the color. IMO the only thing you need to change is the gold trim on your aircleaner. Otherwise sweet!!

Tom, Im with you I wouldn't have bought that color new either, but they sure do look sweet in the pics and better in person I'm sure. It reminds me of the retro color schemes of the old school Harleys. You won't see another around like it! Sweet ride bro you got ourslf a keeper for sure.
