Yes, every special has it. That's one of the reasons why I got mine in vivid black instead of black denim

I'm with you on that one. I just put a deposit on a Denim. Maybe I need to rethink that one.

Thanks

See if your dealer will swap out a flat fairing on a regular street glide for you. It will be win win. They can get a premium on a standard vivid black street glide cause of the gloss fairing and you can get one that looks like it belongs on the bike.

I would have been down with a trade, but I think I'm going to either get a Vivid Black or Amber Whiskey. The more I looked at the Denim, the more I didn't like the red pinstripe.

They should have gone with a more neutral color with the pinstripe. None would have been even better.

None or a gloss black pin stripe would have been great. If that was the case I would have a black denim one right now. I really didn't dig the red stripe either but to be fair the striping is rather thin and not too noticeable on the SGS

I ended up buying the denim sgs, I really like the pinstripe actually! I also really like how insanely easy it is to clean hah. I think I would prefer the flat inner fairing though too.
