The front of my flame job is chrome yellow, and I love it. It pops in the sun! And you don't see many of that color around. Not sure I could do the entire bike in that color, but it's certainly grown on me. In the sunlight, those solid yellow bikes glow, literally. I for one like em.

Here's my chrome yellow pearl and black ultra limited. I like the way the black offsets the yellow so its not too much yellow. As hasbeen said these really light up in sunlight. I also liked the fact that you dont see many this color. And from what I heard chrome yellow is only a one year color. Guess time will tell on that.

Yellow looks great on bikes that don't have too much tin, or small tank & fenders. like Sporties & Dynas. Too much "paint" on touring.

Of course yellow is the first choice for Corvettes & Lambos; not so much pickups & full size sedans.

I agree. The Road King Classic and the Road Glide look nice. The Batwings are too much yellow. Need pinstriping or two tone.

Black vehicles look great, for about 2 days after you clean them, I have a black car and truck, but I like not having the same color bike as everyone else.

The new chrome yellow is so cool looking in the right light it has green or redish tint depending on what angle you look at it.
