Default About to buy a new 07 Custom ???

Guys I am about a day away from picking up one of these customs. Got to have one, been in love with it since I saw one on the show room back in the summer. But, cant make up my mind if I want to go with black which is what I originally thought I wanted till I walked into my stealer the other day and saw one of those sude blue and black two tones sit'n there. Thats a great looking color but I dont know if long term I can go with a soft color like that. What do yall think of it?

Also, I have to have a windshield, do any of yall have any pics of your new customs that have a windshield? I'm thinking a HD quick standard size would look good on her?

Looking for input!

I have a 07 softail custom, but would never let anyone's opinion have the slightest effect on my decision of what color my bike would be.

As for windshields, I have seen a few pics of customs with what I see as acceptable looking with mini apes and hopefully one of these people will post a pic for you. One comes to mind is frisco42.

Be happy with what YOU choose and ride the sh*t outa it.
