Default Street Glide Question

Has HD ever made a Street Glide in Black Denim? If not, is there any rumint of them doing it in 2010?? I have a Dyna now, but something about the Street Glide has struck me and I think I want to go that route but I like to see it in the black denim (if it exists). If not, maybe I'll do the vivid black. Thanks!!

Jeff

Just get an EGS and make your own! I just didn't see the need to pay the extra $$$ for the SG plus it's not available in denim black.

As for the graphic, that was the way it came. When I saw it, I knew I had to have it. I was told from several dealers in my area that this was the only one close to me. Even more reason to buy it IMHO!!!!

Maybe it's just me (an no offense) but that looks like plain old primer paint. I sort of like the dark red denim too at first, then see that also as primer color. Think I'll stick with vivid black when I buy.

I love Orange but that pearl Orange looks like salmon sometimes too. Basic Black works...

What brand of solo seat is that and is it comfortable? What did it cost to add a radio and speakers to the fairing? Does it have cruise control? I also thought of looking at an ECG and reworking it to liking.

Thanks for the info. I really would rather the SG over the EGS. I'll see what they do for 2010 then maybe I just go with the vivid black, seems to be growing on me more and more.

No offense taken! That is exactly the whole reason why I bought it because it looks like primer. I'm not into the whole chrome, shine thing as you will see in the future as I remove ALOT of the chrome that is already on there. I like the fact that when you see mine, it doesn't look like alot of others.

I just replaced it since I added the radio. It's an HD Brawler seat. I made a thread about it in case you want to see more pics. As for the audio, I probably spent around $800.00 and I did all the work myself. No cruise control.

I like the denim paint...when it's new. After it gets used (abuse) a bit, it starts to show shiny areas (bruises). Gloss paint can be buffed if there are scratches...what do you do with flat paint? Those concerns (and the fact that Pewter Pearl is the fastest color) are why I stayed away from denim paint.
