+1 on getting a color other than vivid black unless you plan to do custom paint work down the road. It`s all personal preference of course, but I find the brightly colored bikes far more eye-catching. Oh and purple rules

While I can appreciate a BLACK Harley....and they do look sharp all waxed and shiny, but...

I had a BLACK 2000 Ultra with a matching BLACK cargo trailer.
My wife had a BLACK 1999 Heritage
I had a BLACK 2002 Avalanche
I have a BLACK 2003 Silverado
My wife had 3 BLACK lease cars in a row.

I FINALLY "broke" the habit on my last bike and went to a Typhoon Maroon CVO Ultra (it does have some black in it).

My next purchase will probably be a Tri-Glide.
BLACK is a good base color to do paint mods to so well see.

Until I bought the 2016 in red because of the "everything was black dea" I had:

-A black truck
-She has a black SUV
-A black bike
-2 black leather couches
-A black laptop and tablet
-2 black dogs (Rott's)
-A black lawn mower......
After all that... I wish I would have gotten the black 2016 rather than the red....

I found pictures of my blue and silver road king. Colors look a lot like the 2017s.

I'm done with a black bike. Everybody has one. Next time I want some color.
