I like the black pearl, easier to keep looking clean than fast black like I have.

Tazer wouldn't it have been cheaper to just have it painted?

Looks much better, I wasn't a big fan of the Duracell look. As others have said, it looked better on some bikes than others.

Looks great! Much better than the duracell battery! The black pearl looks really good in the sun.

My opinion really doesn't matter, it's all what you like and if you went through all that trouble and cost I suspect you like it a lot! But since you asked for my opinion... When I first saw the duracell colors I hated them but they have grown on me and I don't think they are bad. I like just about any two-tone paint with a second color of black on a Harley. Black and chrome is classic harley colors and they look great together but to me I find it a little boring so I would not do what you did but then again, I doubt I would buy a duracell bike or even a black one. My favorite colors are red & black on a bike but ask a dozen people and you will get a dozen different opinions, back to it is what you like best!

I like both color schemes but on a Steet Glide the Black Pearl looks better.
