The green is not as ugly in person but it's still ugly. I saw a Blue Denim Street Glide. At first I didn't like it. Then as I was browsing around the store, I found myself looking back at it. It kinda grows on you.

It appear to me that the Denim models do not have a clear coat over the paint finish. At least it feels that way.

The surface is not as smooth as a bike with a clear coat on it.

I just wonder how easy it's going to be to get the bugs and other things that stick to the finish?

Hi guys,

I'm a photographer and switched everything over to digital some time ago. Without getting into all the boring details, you can't really trust what you see for color on your monitor unless you are using a "calibrated" monitor. I'd venture a guess that less than 1 in a 1000 people have calibrated their monitor with a hardware calibration device. In photography it's an absolute must!
