I rock old school (the kit in my avatar is 30 years old). I like the colors. Not all on every bike. Maybe not even every color (I need to see that gold on a BL to know, don't like it on that bike in the pics but I want to) but I don't think I'd buy one for me.
Like to admire them though.
Sporting denim black today

Saw a green Deluxe today, kind of cool. Not sure if I would own it. Would look sick in a hard candy red though.

The Blackline in Gold flake looks pretty hot.. I'm more interested in seeing what the Orange Candy looks like on the FatBoy Lo

I like the look but not that green on the Deluxe. Like others I would like to see other colors.

I was in one of the local dealers today and saw all the colors. They are different that's for sure. I like them but I'm old school! Would not want it on my bike but the ones I saw looked great! The Candy Red Sunglo on my slightly modified night train is bright..

The colors really pop in the sunlight. I could not own one though. The flake job reminds me to much of a bass boat.

They look great, but ONLY on bikes with minimal tins, like Sportys. Would look terrible on touring bikes.

As a few have said like em but not for me, I think they've gotta be on the right bike, and I think you gotta be the right age to ride it, young.
