Bought it. Gonna do my checker cab idea. Hopefully it turns out nice. I'll post pics when done. Here we go again...

FYI this is my 6th bike from Lombardi's H-D in Staten Island. As usual they were great to deal with. If you are looking for a bike give Mark or Phil a call.

Picked it up today. Froze my N--s off on the way home but it was worth it. Have black WO 575 bars, painted inner fairing and saddlebag extensions on order. The amount of pearl in the paint is unreal. It may not be for everybody but I love it. Sorry for the crappy iPhone pics. [IMG][/IMG]

I just **CANNOT BE THAT GUY** that trades in his bike because of a new color that comes out... but I'm really tempted. I wish this color was out a year ago. That color says...

Hey bitch, get off your ____ ____ cell phone and take notice that I'm out here!

I have the 2012 Big Blue Pearl and added accent lights so that at night, I can be seen in darker conditions. Loud pipes also do the trick too! If you stand out a bit more, you're automatically a little bit safer.

+1 on the comment about hating all black bikes... Never been there and won't do that.

I wouldn't do the painted inner fairing color though... it's nice to have the seat and inner fairing color darker. MY wife has a red 2012 FLHX as well, and she chromed the inner fairing, but the sun always reflects in her eyes. I'm guessing this color would kind of do the same.

If you want to take a trip to Brians Harley Davidson in Eastern PA, they will do an inner fairing color for $799 installed. While it's opened up, I suggest the J&M Marine speakers installed as well to boot. You can get them online for about $199, and with the fairing needing to come off - you can get both things done in one shot.

Honestly I like all the colors, but for me, some colors like this yellow just need some lovin to make it work IMO. The yellow needs something on the paint to work with either chrome or black goodies, maybe white flames with chrome bling, or black flames on a blacked out theme would be colors Id use, flames, SE stripes, tribal possibly? But yeah, cool color.
