Default Candy Red Flake?
Who's got one? I was looking @ RGSs today, and the guy pushed a Candy Red one out into the sun for us to look at. Man, that sure looked nice. $2500 over the Wicked Red bike. Hmmmm.

Keep in mind you'll have the same issues with it that I have with my Red Hot Sunglo. It's a candy paint and any future upgrades that need paint will be both difficult to match and expensive to paint. I have an amazing company that did mine only because they do a ton of work for Harley but i paid for it.

Yeah my wife asked if we would get a tour pak. I don't even want to look at that price. It's hard to pick Wicked Red after seeing the Candy. Maybe just black?

Personally I'd put the $2500 toward custom paint instead of a factory option and get exactly what I wanted, jmo...

I was lookin at the new shiny industrial gray one. Kinda liking the dark drivetrain. Not sure I'm going to be needing a TP much anymore. I love my lowers though.
