I like it. I've always thought the EG standard was my favorite Harley. No frills, everything you need and nothing that you don't. That flat black looks mean!

You know what? I actually like that look... And I bet it's a low-maintenace finish compared to shiney paint and chrome that gets smudged, spotted, etc especially in the rain. You can probably just use a wet rag and wipe the whole thing down and not be horrified at the fine little scratches you'd inflict on a typical H-D paint job.

The black denim and the pewter denim have really grown on me. You won't believe it based on the bike I did buy and what I have done so far, but I came very close to buying the Standard in black denim. Love what you've done to yours r8.

r8rs4lf - your ride looks great. What kind of solo seat is that? Did you lower your bike too?

That EGS in Denim Black is really starting to grow on me... one could be in my future.
