Default Making the mold

Let's hear it, one way or the other. Why is it I detect no love for the orphan colors in the HD catalog. I'm talking about my denim blue & black 08 nightster. Am I the only one to like this combo? Is there something wrong with it because it's not Orange&Black, FlatBlack, or Silver&Black? Speak to me.

Sorry didn't mean to miss the olive model. It is an odd duck color of sorts that has grown on me over time. But of all the nightsters I see in general, I NEVER see a blue&black. Especially a glossy one. Seems flat colors are all the rage today. And I tell ya what, there are some absolute killer machines on here.
Oh and it looks like my color was just a one year only. Even the moco didn't like it. But I do.

Really? My picture's on the cover? And I missed it? My 15 minutes is ticking.......

I think they both look good. I really dont like the all black of mine, wish it was denim black. Come to think of it, it don't think I have seen one of the blue and black ones.

Its all about personal preference. The blue/black isn't bad but it really doesn't do it for me. I like the olive/black, silver/black and orange/black (in that order).

I always liked the blue one. I wouldnt look at it as if the blue gets no love, it is just the other colors you mentioned are the "classic" HD colors. I think that people on here have the mentality the blacker they make their sporty the less of a girls bike it is (no offense ladies).:icon_goof ygrin:
