2500 miles later and really liking (loving) it. The color really dances in the sun and the Merlot constantly changes, black, chocolate, deep red and even emerald green when the sun is in front of you reflecting off of it. BUT the sides of the tank and the tank only shows every little swirl mark that it picks up but only in the shade. I thought it may be the clear coat so I not happy with this aspect so far. Tried different waxes on it thinking that that was the problem but it keeps coming back. A friend of mine has the same colors on her 2010 StreetGlide and is experiencing the same thing.
Got my Ultra middle of January and was having the same problem. I tried using a pre-wax cleaner to remove the wax I was using and then put a couple coats of Liquid Glass. Not one swirl mark since then.

Well, all I can say since I took delivery is WOW.
The wife and I will wear this bike out this year, very confortable, handles very well, and every creature confort.
Worth ever dollar spent.
Will get some photos todays, been too busy riding to get photos.
Glad I picked up the Merlot & Cherry, only a coulpe left in Texas, I believe 1 in Odessa, and 1 left in San Antonio where mine was pulled from.
Great Bike, anyone looking at this bike will not be sorry, the 103 pulls very well, and I can simply say this, It Hauls the Mail.
Later..

My new Limited was delivered this week, went out Fri and Sat, put 600 miles on it. Handles great, and pulls relatively well although stepping off a 120" to this takes a little getting used to. Overall so far, I like it, but am not thrilled with the seat. I may have to make a change. Anyone tried the HD Hammock seat yet?

I have had mine for a couple of weeks but have been waiting since last September for them to release this color comb. Great ride and now I am going to start making it mine. I have the Fuel Moto package ready to go on, except for the headpipe which is on back order. I have the Harley Goodies floorboard extensions and a few pieces from the moco to install. Now I just need to find more time to ride.
