Default I'm looking forward to 2016 colors.

I'm looking to get back in the saddle again. I think I'm going none fairing model this time. I don't care for the 2015 Road King colors I know it's pretty early to know anything about the 2016 models. If or when someone that has inside knowledge about the 2016 color chart. Don't hesitate to share!!

Make sure you check the bikes out in person. Sometimes colors that you dismiss on your computer screen grab you in person. Especially when the sun hits it. I actually like most of the RK colors for '15.

I hear the 2016 Black is even blacker than the other blacks.

And that there is a "throw-back" black for 2017.


Nigel Tufnel: It's like, how much more black could this be? and the answer is none. None more black.










I think where I am really going is that some colors are timeless...and others may not hold up and may "date" the bike.
Lord knows the '90's Softails with the peach frames and turquiose scallops painted on...don;t look so great.

a "limited" paint color may not even be appreciated for 50 years- I have a limited paint 1953 model...some like it but most don't. I am continually asked why I don;t paint it a "nicer color".





OP if you buy it, you better like it...the more "individualized" the color...the harder the resale may be.

i think its still too early to get the colors for 16, but i agree with seeing them in person if you havent of the 15's.

I can't buy a black bike or car. Can't do it!! I might budge if it's 1/2 off the price

Last year there were a few colours I quite liked, but I struggle with this year's palette, so next year had better be better! Although I am no more likely to be able to afford a new one........

I prefer two tone paint scheme on the RK. I've seen the 2015 colors. I don't care for any of them.

Don't know if you were trying or not, but that is freakin funny.

So was the Spinal Tap reference.

I heard that for 2016 all the controls on the Boom! Audio will go to 11.
Because 11 is one louder than 10.
