Default 07 Road Glide paint

So, HD manages to get the stripe from the fairing to align with that on the tank by turning it into an upside-down Nike swoosh, but the saddle-bags don't continue the curve. How hard could it be?

Here's what they have:



Here is what they could have done. (Obviously I am no artist.)

The road glide stripe must have been sent to the "Engineering for the mentally challenged" department. It has never aligned, and at this point, it seems as though it never will. I initially liked the new stripe, but then, after seeing the "Blow me" red stripe on the black, I am not so sure.

It's a step backward in my opinion.......don't care for it much.

Nice job of tying in the side panel to match up with the tank/bags![:@]

Was just looking at the 07s and thought I jumped the gun getting the 06 RG in March. The 6 speed would be nice and the 88" does more than what I need it too, but they sure screwed the pooch with those color schemes. Think I'll keep my 06 fire red pearl for a while. All I see with the 96s is major hassels with the new EPA regs. He||, I'm having enough trouble getting the dealer to give me the 25 degree injectors.
