Default 2012 color options

Saw the color options for 2012. Nothing looked all that good.

I kind of agree. No sedona orange of course,no white denim on anything but a Sporty. Same cool blue pearl,but maybe the tequila sunrise will look nice. I guess as long as vivid black is around I will make it work for me.

I am partial to the Rio Red. The salesman said I could get a Ultra in that color. Looks great on the CVO Road Glide they have.

I have to agree. In the sunlight, it has a beautiful golden metalflake coming through. I'm biased because I have that color.

root beer...


Great color... I have an Ultra in that color.
Only problem is, if you get a chip, forget about touching it up even close.
I have a half dime size chip on my tank, I bought the touch up kit, it will look "better" when I am done, but not by much. The biggest benefit from touch up is to keep the bare metal exposed from rusting.

Do you mean Ember Red? The Rio Red is the CVO color for 2011 as you said. Thought the new red in the 2012 book is Ember Red? I love that Rio Red, if the Ember is even close, I'm gonna get that one!
