Default Suede Blue Pearl and Vivid black?

For you guys that got the Suede Blue Pearl and Vivid black in '07 how did you like it? Still like it a year later? I like it but I worry that I'd get sick of it after a while. How does it hold up to the elements? I know my Vivid black is a dust magnet and scratches are more noticeable.

mine will be a year old next month and i'm still liking it alot it seems to be holding up very well but i do tend to fuss alot and have many coats of wax on her! i found maguires techwax to be outstanding! bugs wash right off and at 11000 miles she still shines like new!!! brought the color back for 08' so must be quite popular!!!

I just picked mine up in that color yesterday. My wife loves the color, and so do I. Thanks for the wax tip. Do I need to wait for a while to wax it---it was just built two weeks ago.

Had mine about 1 yr now still like the color!! The top of the saddel baggs get scracthes on them at times, but they clean up real well with wax.
I've had alot people tell me they like the color.

10 months with my FLHRC in that combo. Still happy. Get quite a few compliments from people I wouldn't expect.

Mine will be a year old next month and I still love the color. The black is a little more work but the blue is just great. I use Meguiar's Teck Wax on the paint. Turtle Wax ICE on all the black plastic, this stuff makes the inner fairing a real dark black. And English Chrome Polish on the pipes and the rest of the chrome. The English Chrome Polish is made for high temps and works great. I wouldn't trade the color for anything that is out now.

I've had my '07 Vivid Black for 2 months, and I agree its a dust collector. When its clean, washed and waxed, DAMN, it looks great.
