Default My New 2009 Black Ice/Blue Ice FLHX

A car hit me October 23. I am fine, minor injuries. The bike was another story and was totaled. I got a nice insurance check and bought my dream bike. These may be the nicest 2 tone colors Harley has ever made. The wife loves the bike too. Tour pack on the way...

Took the pics with the phone. With like 6 feet of snow on the ground, It is at the dealer for a few more months!

I had an 07 Classic. Anyone who says that is the way to go is wrong. I went that route, not the same. The gauges and front and rear fender are totally different, not to mention the lowering. A tour pack is an easy add for 1300.

My advice - buy the real deal.

Nice bike. Just a shame after waiting since October that they were out of vivid black.

I got the same color coming on a Ultra sometime in January.

Luckily it is summer here in Australia so I dont have to worry about the weather

WTF, 2-tone paint & pinstripes on a FLHX. Now it need bag rails, bumpers and a puffy seat.

Strider - why get Black and have to figure out which of the 100 in the lot is yours? Black is boring anyway.

Skydoc - come on, those flat colors are so boring. Man, you should see the flake in that paint. Next thing I am adding is a ton of chrome...
To each his own.

The important vote was Momma - and she LOVES it.....

Nice choice. I saw one the other day in person. Looked really nice under the showroom lights. I bet it really pop's in the sunlight.
