I'm long since tired of the "blacked out" style. To each their own, but I agree with the anything but black.

i love the sand on the bobs, but not the irons.

People may be sick of seeing the blacked out irons on the boards, but there is a reason, cause its ****ing hot as hell. there arent any other blacked out bikes (engine&body) on the market.

But either way, OP get what you want.

I just purchased a Sand Camo Iron and I love it..

A friend of mine had the black denim which does look tough as nails but, it was a bastard to keep clean.. But, when it was kept clean, it was badass.

Get the color you like.

FWIW if you are going to own this bike for a decade Sand is nice.
Some say demin colors are a trend/fad, yet primer black has yet to go out of style.
Vivid (gloss) black for the win.
