This isn't one of your options, but I really like blue metallic Street Glides (don't know name of color). This color really pops in the sun, and it doesn't show dust like black or black pearl.

another thing, currrently running a set of big radius pipes on my softail and love the sound to death. i want the same sound in a true dual any suggestions. by the way i find no pipes to be too loud.

this will probabley be my last bike for awhile all and any imput will be helpful.

My bike is Black Pearl, I like it alot better than my old RK that was vivid black, it does show dirt & dust but not nearly as bad, the high metallic effect of the BP hides the dust to a degree, but not as good as the pewter will.

Black Pearl will show dust, bugs etc. fairly well. Sure looks great after it's washed, though. Pewter probably wouldn't be as bad, but bug splats tend to be multi-colored! The pewter should hide the dust better.
