It's that Motor Company again. You would think with all their paint experts and surveys they could come up with one color we could all like? They could always ask what the next big color should be from this forum, I mean how difficult can this be?

I don't like the tank decal either. I'll have to see one up close before making up my mind on color.

They did, it's called Black

Any other color will have some that like it and some that hate it.
Lot of people don't like Sedona Orange, but I like it and wanted it on my SG.

The pictures are poor, so it isn't clear; but, the left saddlebag has the correct separation strip curving down on the side of the bag; the right saddlebag has the separation stripe horizontall around the front, side, and rear of the bag ala the Electra Glide Ultra.

I'll try to get better pics and post; just poor quality control by HD to install saddlebags with different paint schemes.

Just a heads-up to say the pics in the original post have been updated with somewhat better ones, including one to show the mismatched saddlebags.

Saw this color on a Heritage yesterday. Looked ok on that bike, but of course is broken up by leather bags etc. The metal flake looked outstanding in the sun and when approaching the bike with sunlight the orange with metal flake goes green. I'm still undecided if I like it or not, but dont listen to me, I bought an 08 Coppertop. That saddlebag mismatch is amazing and scary..they charge how much for set up and assembly???
