Default 2012 custom deep purple flhx
Does anyone know about how many street glides are made in the 2012.5 custom collection color for the deep purple and flame??

Won't be many. I have seen one other Tequila Sunrise orange street glide since I bought mine in Feb. I have seen 2 of the purple ones at the dealer but haven't seen any on the road.

I don't know but I really like that color scheme. I'm a sucker for flames anyway.

And I'm a sucker for purple Harleys. If you get one you'll always be able to say "mine's the purple one" rather than "mine's the 5th black one from the left." The MoCo does purple as a limited "custom" color for a few months once every few years. Go for it.

My wife sold one a couple months ago, and the dealer has an Heritage Softail in that color, now.

I think the flames look like those cheap stick on ones you buy at the local parts store. Like the purple though.

I just saw one at the dealer this weekend. I like purple Harley's, but for some reason the purple with yellow flames looked cheesy to me. It didn't seem like a stock Harley paint scheme.

+1 on yellow flames with purple. Doesn't look quite right to me for some reason!
