Default New color
My ride is finally getting somewhere after my crash 4 weeks ago. It is going to the painter this week and I was told they were going to paint everything except the back fender. I ask how much to change the color and they said $200.00 and I can have any color I want. As long as it is just one color. I was thinking " metallic candy apple red ", what do you think? Any other ideas I might have missed?

The coolest color in the world is the one YOU love on YOUR bike!! Do whatever floats your boat, but be sure to post pics after you are done.

Wow, that sucks. What parts are you waiting for? They told me that painted parts took the longest to get(8-12weeks) that's why mine is getting painted. I could get primed parts in 14-21 days. All the mechanical parts came within two weeks.

I had my 05 BCP Eglide Classic repainted Candy Red Sunglo after my accident and I love it.
