Default 07 Road Glide Fire Red Pearl

I have decided that the road glide will be my next bike. The dilemma now is what color. I know that color is subjective to each owner. The color representation on the HD web site does not do justice to the road glide. On the HD web site the pewter pearl almost looks like the bike is painted in gray primer but once I saw the bike in person in the sun light my thoughts changed on the color. I have seen ever color for the 07 road glide except for fire red pearl and yellow pearl. My wife’s favorite color is black pearl then pewter pearl. I was leaning towards the mirage orange pearl but then my wife called it the pumpkin bike.

So I would like to know if anyone has purchased a 07-fire red pearl and if so can you post a picture. The reason I would like to see a picture of the 07 is to see how the striping on the fairing and tank look. I saw a black cherry pearl and I did not like the contrast of the striping on the gas tank against the color of the bike. This only my opinion. I like the looks of the black cherry pearl on the street glide. Until I see the red pearl, the pewter pearl is my number one pick.

Many 06 ultras were red pearl and black, sure someone has one, its a good looking red. I too was leaning toward orange till I saw a Pewter pearl, it knocked the pumpkin out the door, my silver bullit will be here in two weeks.

Can't help ya with the fire red pearl roady. I know what you are saying about the bike colors on the web site though. I saw a vivid black roady this past weekend and the red stripe on it was darker than what it looks like on the 'puter. I liked it.
