Thinking about re painting my bike a bright white, with no graphics. Looking at using PPG pure white off the mixing shelf. It should be very bright white.

Would like to see some white roadies before I take the plunge.

No pics here but I think it would look awesome. But I may be a bit bias as my bike is white, my last 7 or 8 trucks have been white and my wife's cars have been white.

I'd go mostly white, like the '15 Tri Glide. Partly because blue is my favorite color by a long shot. But lefty's vanilla Popsicle there is mighty good-looking, I must say.

All white would look good, I'm biased too. My Ultra is white, as are my other vehicles. Wish they had a white Ultra Limited in the 15s.

As much as solid "vanilla popsicle" white would be my first choice, I gotta admit that the limited edition Arctic Flash roadie is one fine looking bike as well.

I like the White Ultra Limited but it's Shriner's only.

As a person that own a 12 CVO skunk road glide, white is a great color however it does not mix well without some form of contrast and chrome does not contrast very well with white.

So whatever you decide about painting you should do however be thinking about contrast as it makes white all that more pleasant to have

Bright white tins with the rest of the bike blacked out would look awesome. How hard is it to keep a white bike clean? I have never had one.
