Solid or Color/Battle with Dealer?
Hello all!
This forum is proving to be quite the resource. I think soon it'll be me -vs- the dealer trying to make the sportster dream a reality.
Anyhow, the color for the sportster I'd like is Vivid Black, now correct me if I'm wrong, but that would be considered Solid. I noticed on the HD website there are classifications for Solid and Colour. . .of course the Solid being cheaper. So, am I right? Vivid Black is considered Solid?
Just wondering, trying to stock up on amunition when getting down to business with the dealer. Also, if anyone has any words of wisdom or important points they can think of. . . it would be muchly appreciated.
Thanks!
-Mark.

RE: Solid or Color/Battle with Dealer?
Vivid Black is one of my favorite finish colors, with the Red finishes (such as my Lava Red Sunglo) being a close second.
I believe "Vivid Black" is considered a solid color..
Of course the Black finish is a little more difficult to keep clean and dust free, but to me it's worth the extra cleaning effort.
(My FatBoy is Vivid Black, and the finish looks great)..

Vivid Black is the cheapest color HD offers on a Sporty, no matter what they call it. Good luck on your purchase. Really no need to pay any more than MSRP + Freight on a Sporty. Don't forget to shop around, that's the biggest gun in your shopping weapons cache.

if you took vivid black as the main and pearl black as the other color would it be 2 tone and be an extra charge?

I wanted black...they didn't have any available when I bought my bike either...
Now that I've seen several black Sportsters... I don't know that I'm sorry they didn't have it available... It would be my choice on a larger bike for sure... but not so sure on a Sportster anymore...
Your opinions my vary... maybe it's just me... lol

Yea .. do a search from the top of the tree using invoice as the keyword. Find the list of web sites that TCSTD posted. Theres maybe, I dont know 20 or so. One of them points you to a link where you can get the dealer invoice price. Havent used that kind of thing with Harley but have when buying my pickups and on this last occasion it saved me thousands.
