Default Going to make a change

I am going to be getting the RK painted around tax time. I know, I know, its brand new, but I wanted it in a color Harley doesn't offer, so I got vivid black 1. because its a color you don't pay extra for and 2. it was black. I will be staying black, but I think I will be going Black Denim. 1BadNT photo shopped it for me over in the photshopping place. While it didn't come out perfect, it gives a pretty good idea. I like the rendering enough that I think it will look awesome when done. I want to do stretched bags too, but I do not like the look of the fender covers too much. Anyone got stretched bags with a factory fender and maybe the filler strips? If so pics would be cool. Also, has anyone on here done a RK in black denim? I am thinking about getting the logo in my avatar done in flat white or pewter denim (if not something more like a flat charcoal grey) on the rear fender or maybe the sides of the tank.......here's the PSed pic

By the time I go for paint, I will have the smoked tail light, smoked fender tip lens and bullet turn signals

I know a guy that got a black denim and now wishes he got vivid. Maybe you should just chill and ride it awhile before you sink all that money into something you could have ordered. Are you saving a bunch on the paint job?

I didn't mean it was a RK, but he was really not happy with the color. You have an awesome looking bike man, personally I wouldn't touch it. Of course I may be biased.

Clear coat is overrated.

Denim rocks. Easy to clean, and it doesn't look like every other "vivid black" Harley scootin down the road.

I say go for it.

I think it'll be bitchin! My opinion? Go with gray(ish) logo's, I think it'll look more "factory" that way. I'd want it to look as close to a factory denim roadking as I could, just think it'd be cooler that way.

Good luck and btw PPG makes a real nice denim-ish clear coat (I've used it) that'll go over any base color, that way you can bury the logo(s) under the clear.
