Default Are 2012 Colors Known Yet?

Usually somebody here on the forum has some insight to the new model year colors. Anyone?

now if leohd is right that chrome yellow might look sharp if it's anything like the yellow that was used on roadglides in 05 or o6, can't remember but i liked it. as far as knowing fully what colors will be used, check back in a few months.

No more black denim for the Street Glide or Road Glide? I think that is a mistake, but it also will make my wife happy she got hers and it will be a bit rarer.

I stopped in at my dealer this afternoon and he showed me the book of color samples. The dark colors are just that - dark (don't 'duh' me here...see them yourselves ). The Tequila may be the color that replaces Sedona Orange...and its an even 'richer' orange than Sedona - hope they bring out a Fugly in that one! Ember red sunglow is a beaut color too. OH, and for the unimaginative they will still make bikes in Black.
