I saw that too, and I was blown away! I would even go as far to say I wish that were the anniversary color combo, sorry but that was my first thougt. I would also have to agree that I saw that color combo on a softail, and didnt look as sharp as it did on the baggers!!!
What a color!

Light Candy Rootbeer/ Dark Candy Rootbeer. It's a very nice color. I prefer the Black Ice/ Blue Ice or the Big Purple Flake/ Brilliant Silver more. The rootbeer pearls are very nice.

Never in a million years would I expect to like "rootbeer". That two tone rootbeer was one of the prettiest stock paint jobs I've ever seen!

I agree it is a beautiful color combo. And I really don't like brown. Haven't seen the Big Purple Flake/Brilliant Silver yet but I believe HD has three winners in the custom paint program this year. Previous years there has always been an ugly one or two. Funny thing my local dealer didn't order any Rootbeer Ultras and only two Rootbeer Street Glides (one for each dealership). Whoever orders didn't think the color would be in demand. Someone really dropped the ball on that one.

Black Ice/Blue Ice -- the offset angle color view has some purple irridescent hues. Aggressive metalflake too.

Saw an awesome helmet that would go nicely with the HD two tone "Root Beer" color.
