I am a traditional Vivid Black guy, but as much as I like the Deep Blue, for contrast and deviate too far from the Black, I ordered the Midnight Pearl / Brilliant Silver Pearl, but am nervous as I have yet to put my actual eyes on the FLHTK in this paint combo. Most folks on this forum can appreciate the subtle lines and contrast of basic black with the amount of paint showing on the touring models, and I totally get that. Also most folks say and the pics support the new Deep Blue colour being quite nice especially in the sun, however some riders who have seen the Midnight Pearl, describe it as Black with blue metal flake, which also shows nice in the sun. The Orange bike seems to be a love it or hate relationship, although I would argue that there should be some contrast , or a minimum of a Metal flake Orange and some serious Black contrasted colour....but something along the HD factory colour lines to make it jump out at you ...with the eye shattering colour combos on the CVOs, I don;t think it would be too much to ask for some further creativity on the paint/colour/ combo/ schemes on the Touring models as there certainly is a large enough canvas to use ...just my .02 worth ...Hope that FLHTK MP/BSP colour combo works in person.

Dan, you and I share the same opinion about Black. A Black and chrome Harley is a beautiful scoot but way to difficult to keep looking that way.

Your poll makes me happy, I'll probably never run into another 2012 Tequila Road King Classic, mine should be hear monday, my dealer went over 1000 miles to find it.(at msrp no frt,no prep,plus parts discount) I hear they can not be ordered.

I would have to choose vivid black for the performance improvements. Black is faster!

#1 Vivid Black I didn’t know there was another choice. Since we have been married (30 years this FEB.) we have had 25 Black vehicles and I’m not stopping there. Getting ready to order a 2012 F350 Super Duty (Black) trading in my 2008 F350 Super Duty DRW, Black…
