Me too. Very nice, but I just could not own one.

If they still made the Crossbones I think it would look good on that. However, it would look very out of place on my Rocker. I think it looks great on the right style of bike. I would take a 72 in the red or green.

You have to look at it in the sun to get the full effect. when I picked up my bike the mechanics came out side to see it in the sunlight . I like it a lot .

It definitely looks like a cool color.

Mine is heavy metal flake (and it fades from orange/yellow in front to red/orange in the back) 'cause I'd never really seen it before...

Then Harley ruined my fun by coming out with 'Tequila Sunrise'.

So... I guess I would say I "like" the metal flake... but I just bought a second set of tins for my bike to take it another direction.. for whatever that's worth.

I saw the flake green paint yesterday on a deluxe, honestly it did not look good on that bike, the color was very cool, but it doesn't belong on a deluxe, maybe on a 72, or a dyna

I agree about the Crossbones. I actually have a '08 and was thinking of the Orange and Black scallops ever since the Hard Candy Colors came out.
