Hey, Y'all!
Just found this forum & this topic. I went for the flat black 08 Cross Bones (first one sold in the area!) & had Sumax do the covers with their particular flat black flavor cuz I got sick of the water marks on the polished aluminum...

I vote for flat black. The new Rocker C comes in flat black and I am thinking about trading my tins out for flat black.

Even in 2010, the question was flat or glossy! Some things never change.
