Default Which color
Need some opinions on color selection on a new Street Glide Special . I am buying a new bike Mondday cannot make up my mind on the color I want , I like them both . The two colors I narrowed it down to or the hard candy red or the orange , I caint rembember the name of the orange but it's pretty . The hard candy red is 1500. morning because it's a special paint , it has flames which I am not crazy about , but the dark color would look great with lots of chrome whereas the orange looks good probably trimmed in black and is 1500. less than the red one same bikes same features different colors and different price . Which color ??

First, you're on a Harley Forum so don't use words like "pretty."

JK, when it comes to color schemes, it's more of a personal preference. Think about your bike plans (accessories, upgrades, doo-da's, etc.) and go with what fits your personada. Good luck and definitely let us know which color you choose.

Two nice colours! Go to the dealers on Monday, get them to have both colours sitting side by side and make the decision.

IMO the orange has too much red in it and the hard candy too much flake. Take a long stare at the velocity red sunglo!

If i were buying a new one it would be the hot rod red. the flames are just ok but the metalic red is awesome.

Trucks are white
Tractors are green
