I think that pearl yellow is one of the better paint colors HD has done. My Road Glide is Pearl Yellow and I am really going to hate painting it.

Here is a couple of shotsof the paint up close. As some people have mentioned you either love it or hate it, but the color really dances in the sun.

I love them.

If I had not got my Deep Cobalt Street Glide (had to have the tunes), I would have got the pearl yellow Road Glide Custom. Beautiful bikes.

Default RE: Pearl Yellow RK Custom ** UPDATE **

Well, I viewed the bike and bought it last night. Its pretty standard, Aftermarkets grips, sissybar, screen, a few chrome pieces here & there and the usual Stage 1. The colour looks so much better in the metal, pics dont do it justice at all, and when the lights hits it shades of green gold etc, real nice.

Im now looking for a set of 16"Apes, i saw this deal on Ebay & was wondering if anyone had used these guys before? Anyone know what size the risers are on a RK Custom, mine seem to be well hidden.. lol.. Thanks again for all the advice.

A friend of mine has a yellow King classic. he added the hard bags and a tour pack, all in yellow. we call it the "short bus". It is a good looking color though, I'd go for it if the price was right.
