2012 Colors - Please help!
2012 Colors - Please help!
I'm thinking about pulling the plug on a 2012 FLHX. I was on HD.com and only see 4 colors, that true???? Dark blue, dark red, black, and flat black.
Also is it better to buy new right now or wait till Fall or Mid release for the 2012's? New features then or something?

Looks like those 4 colors are your choices. As far as buying now, better to wait until dead of winter if you want a good deal. Or you could pick up an 11 left over now and probably get a decent deal.

Now's the time to score a deal on new 2010 or 2011 hold-over. There probably won't be much wiggle room on the new 2012's, since they're just hitting the floor now.
Vivid Black, Big Blue Pearl, Ember Red Sunglo, Black Denim. That's it.

Harley sometimes add more color choices mid year, but as stated if you feel like waiting until Nov - Feb and can find a dealer who has an 11 left over (won't say 10, beacause I can't imagine that unless they just refuse to deal), it may not be the color you want, but the price may make it look a little better.

I just looked at your post again, looks like you have a 2010 already, why would you want to upgrade? You can have yours painted and upgrade the engine to a 103 or 107, and more than likely still come out ahead. Just seems like an expensive paint job if that's the reason....jmho.

The Blue and Red are awesome. The Black and Flat Black are what they are.
They will probaly add some two tone colors later on. they have in the past couple years.
The Red is not Dark. It is almost a Candy Apple with gold flakes that will pop in the daylight.
103 and oil cooler is now standard.
If you don't want ABS and Security that actually makes the 2012 cheaper than the 2011 with the 103 power pak.
They have radios right now also, they may run out of radios later on for a while. No real updates on the radio situation.

Did you mean pulling the trigger? What's the reason for wanting a 2012 when you have a 2010? Just wondering.
