I don't really like any of them except for the Charcoal Denim. The Hard Candy black isn't bad, but I'm not really a flame person. The new regular tank graphic looks odd like they painted it on the wrong spot or something?

They put electronic throttle control on the 2016.. Of course.
It's about time! That makes cruise control a no-brainer except HD now wants to make money off it...
"Plus, the electronic set-up makes it a simple no-fuss-no-muss procedure to install Harley-Davidson® cruise control."
So they reduce the number of parts they require, then charge extra for something that should be standard. Nothing like milking the buyer, eh?

That's the first thing that caught my eye when I turned the bike around on the home page. I was like "huh?" The badge looks out of place against the graphic.

I agree Furry. There are so many instances now (I've only had Harley's for the last 3 years) where I see grossly substandard parts sold on the "standard" bike, but the dealerships are packed full of (expensive) "upgrades".
Lights, suspension and fuel caps are some that spring immediately to mind.
Also, wtf are they doing selling bikes around the world that are crippled with Californian EPA setups on them???
So I got tired of looking at my ratty pipes.bottom one was ground off and a plastic bag flew up and fried on both a few months back.so I took and had them bologna cut and sanded then refinished with vht header paint,anyone use this with any luck? guess I'll find out.

I have tried a few different vht high temp paints. None of them will hold up. They look ok for a little while, but you will be recoating for sure.
