Default Red Hot Denim?

Gonna look at a Street Glide today it's got the ABS I'm looking for and is in my price range. Don't know if I like Red Hot Denim or not. What are your thoughts on that color?

Personally I think the denim looks like primer. I know its not, but that's what it looks like to me. The shiny red hot is really nice. Is it cheap enough for you to have the bike cleared and still make out? If not, I'd wait for another bike in the color you want. Baggers cost a ton to paint, so many pieces. IMHO.

Its not a bad color and looks real good on a fat bob. Go check it out you will know right away if its a color you can live with. Its a rare color for a SG and I would probably like it. Good Luck

I've got the White Hot Denim and I love it.
I will say the denim paint is allot easier to take care of than gloss.
Just wash and dry. No waxing to worry about and no swirls to buff out.

The red and blue denim colors are not my favorites. I do really like the black denim though.

Like someone said already, it looks like primer. It's definitely not my favorite color but to each his own.

My opinion: It look seriously bad ***! Especially after seeing the pic klemay posted. I have seen it on a Fatbob in person and I liked it then, so since there is sooooo much more paint on a SG, I think it looks awesome. You could mix chrome and black parts on it (as done in that pic) and it would still look bad ***.

I've only seen pictures, but given that it's a rare color, that makes it a little more appealing to me.

IMHO, Black, silver and to a degree white, just look unfinished to me. The blue and red that I've seen are much better, look finished.

At least on the Glides, I find the Denim more appealing on the Softails and Dynas, where there isn't so MUCH of it...
