A local dealer has a 2010 RG Custom in Denim Black. Its nice. Price is good. Ive been thinking about switching since a lot cheaper than the 2010 ultra I was looking at. I have a 2009 standard right now(pictured.) I love the bars on the RG, wife would really like an Ultra. cant decide. A Ultra I feel we wont be going on ant serious long hauls. Most of the items I wont have a use for.
I bought the dealer invoice sheet from Cycle Buy. HD marks up everything 30%. I got a 2010 Street Glide, same color for less with cruise, security and ABS.

I really like the Road Glide as I do alot of long haul trips but I am having a hard time breaking away from black. You know what they say about black!
Do the glide but think hard about the color, what will you think of it in 1-3 years. My sons friend has a flrx and it is bright, and when following its near impossible to see the brake lights. Ive heard more nays than yays about the color, but its your choice. I bought an 07 fltr in redfire pearl, it was between that black and orange. To me the amount of black was like a car when it came to cleaning it, and thank God I didnt get orange. I love the redfire but sometimes I wish I had the black.
Black is classic it will always be in style, the bright red will be obsolete much sooner.
