I originally went to the dealer with the intention of bying an 09 gloss black EG Standard closeout. All they had left was a couple of denim ones which, due to the price, I reluctantly went with. That's 10,000 miles ago, the color has definitly grown on me, the finish has held up great, and the numerous compliments on the color makes me really glad I went with it.

Denim black hides dirt and dust better than vivid black.

Have had a lot of different colors over the years but black denim is very easy to take care of.

I have an 09 street bob and it's denim black. Love the color, I am wanting to paint my vivid black RKC, to a denim color. Cant decide on black or white.

not really, only because I think vivid (gloss) black matches the frame and looks better for that reason, if we could get the frame in denim then maybe i'd like denim better..

Denim is different, and I can understand why people like it, I just prefer glossy paint.

I was wrong.

Black Denim in pretty awesome. Looks Bad A$$, no finger prints.

I'm thinking about getting an estimate to put a satin clear on my vivid so I can go back to the flat look.
That's what he said.
Ain't no need to say anymore.....
