Default Performance orange

Has any body bought a new 2020 FLHXS in this color yet and if so can you post some pics? I have a 2019 scorched orange and black denim but I am really drawn to that new performance Orange. Thinking I can trade for around $3500 but not sure if the color alone is worth it.

I think if I was trying to make the decision you're trying to make, specifically whether or not to trade based on paint color, I'd want to see the bike in person. Colors on a computer monitor don't always show as well as they do when you're looking at a color in person.

Ya I really like the new orange, my dealer has one sitting on the floor. I like the performance orange color, but there are no graphics or stripes or anything else and Im afraid it would end up being too much orange after a while.

I really like that color, but you're right, that's a lot of orange. Personally, I like the scorched orange a little more than the performance orange.

Damn, that is a lot of orange!

I get where OP is at, kind of. When I saw the Biliiard Blue, it was the final reason I needed to trade the Lowrider-S on the SGS

You already have an orange bike but you want a new orange bike and you might be willing to take over a $3500 loss? It's your $$$ but some of us might think you're a little nutz.
