Default RK colors???

Need some help. May be jumping to a RK from my Dyna this summer. I've seen the Hard Candy Hot Rod Red in person and it looks awesome, but the upcharge is insane. So now I'm thinking of the billet silver/superior blue, or billet silver. Anybody have these colors that can show some pics in the sun? No dealership has any in stock, so came here.

Thanks

Go with black. It is cheapest and a great platform to do custom airbrushing/paint to. Keep wanting a black bike but keep coming on deals I can't pass up...

The silver looks a lot better in the sun. The colors on the road kings over the years haven't been all that great. There have been a few though. The new models aren't much to choose from. I would probably go black.

Sorry, don't have a pic for ya but last Sept. I took a Silver/Blue Road King out for a short test ride.

Ride was only about 30 min. long but I had no less than five other motorists comment on what a great-looking bike it was - and I had to agree.

FYI - Black is a good choice, buuuuut was told by many Black has never won an award at any custom shows.

Is that your black Harley? Don't see too many of them around here...

Get a color - you won't be sorry...

ps. I had a 2010 RK that was a similar blue and silver - it looked great in the sun and the shade... I can't imagine the new paint would look worse.

are you buying it to ride, or to sit on the shelf?
