My thoughts in chronological order. I have always loved black and chrome, to me very classy looking. Owned way too many vivid black bikes, they are beautiful when clean, but takes 3 minutes in the dust to make it look like crap!
I looked at the HD website and liked the color okay enough to tell the dealer when he got one in I'd take it. I wanted whatever denim color came out as long as it wasn't black (I've seen too many).
Bike came in and I went down to pick it up. I told the dealer that it just looks ok and that I would paint it if it didn't grow on me.
Take the bike down the street and top it off with gas, get my first compliment on the paint! Walking around the bike outdoors, it's a totally different color, still tan but with a mix of flake and pearl all in flat! If you are looking at that bike in a showroom, take it outside and you will see that you wouldn't think that it's the same color.
5 months and 2 days later it gets it's first bath, not because it looks dirty, because it is dirty! I was tired of cleaning my black bike and having look crappy minutes later. You cannot tell that your bike is dirty (unless you are riding in the rain) with this color. I think chrome gets lost in the light color, so several powder coated parts later, with more coming I think it's looking pretty good.
You do have to look at it outside though, pictures and fluorescent lights don't cut it.
