Default Blackline pic request

Anyone have a picture of the new for '13 Midnight Pearl/Brilliant Silver color combo. The only thing I can find is through Bike Builder on HD's site. Looking for real pics

Thanks

Here is a pic I pulled off the internet, but I saw it in person in Fayetteville last weekend when we were there for Bikes Blues and BBQ. The Harley demo truck was there with one. I have to say, not really a fan, but I'm jaded

I have a brilliant silver FLD now and I love that Midnight Pearl color. Trying to see if the 2 together sparks anything for me.

I will tell you the blue pearl is really pretty in person (that is the same as mine) I love the similar silver and black combination that they used on the Sportsters, but there is something about this combination that just doesn't do it for me. I have been looking for the cool blue/black one in person. I said I wanted to see it before I decided which one I would buy, but then I saw mine and my mind was made up.

Are you planning on buying one? I love the look and ride, I don't understand why nobody likes it. But then again, I don't like a bunch of gaudy stuff on a bike, so the Blackline suites me.

I am also in the mentality of less is more. I like my current bike well enough, but I have a little love affair with the Blackline.

Same here.. After looking several mins at it, I think its the whole top of the tanks is dark and then U have the silver fenders.. IMO it just don't flow right.

thinking effin they had the tank silver with the sides painter the darker color it'd be more pleasing to the Eye. Like they do the 2tones on the Lux's.
