Wow, yep I agree, different is better, but I think just the Red and Black combo will be different enough for me, the Road Glide earlier in this thread is the only one I have seen to date, and I haven't seen any Scarlett Red SG's blacked out yet. (Hence the reason for the thread)

my opinion (not that it matters)............ Blacked out bikes look SICK!!!!!!! I have a vivid black street glide and tossed the idea around many times. In the end I always come up with the same decision,.... Everyones doing it so it's not about being different anymore and the most important reason I don't wanna do it just yet is because all the chrome on my bike is still brand new so why take it off. I figure I'll rock the chrome till it looks bad then black it out with hopes that the black out fad dies down a bit. But I still believe that blacked out bikes look sick.

I do agree that right now blacked out bikes look hot.I am just always looking for something different that looks good.

I agree totally Bradley! Black bikes are sick for sure. I'm definately getting opinions from each side, and I think this is making me want to do it even more. It's controversial, even if it seems like everybody is doing it! I love it!!
