It doesn't matter, after you pick a color, you'll second guess your choice latter, That's why I go with vivid black.

Vivid black looks great til you hit Sturgis and you can't find your bike. The Street Glide has been the #1 selling bike for 2 years. I love black don't get me wrong. I just want mine to stand out a little.

I have always really liked green flames... and you do not see many of them. Now this one is to busy, but you get the idea...

Badpiggy,

Actually here in Colorado I don't see much custom paint on baggers at all. I never see the red flames on black ever. I liked your paint job. What are you changin to?

I had my last bike painted by them... You will get a lot of attention riding around with one of their jobs. I like the Red flames look. Mine was similar to your first option. It had a black metallic base with the brandywine flames. With a candy brandywine covering it all. In low light this was a black bike with red flames.. In the sun it turned more red than black.

Enjoy your new ride when finished!!!!

????? Street Glide is old fart bike? I think it is one cool looking ride. One of Harley's #1 selling bikes for 2 years. Maybe your little brother isn't old enough to know HD and flames go together.
