Don't get me wrong, I love my DB bike...... But I'm a chrome *****..... It's hard to stay away from the "black out" look when I look at accessories. I do love the chrome and flat contrast

Cleaning her up for a poker run as we speak! I get lots of compliment T's on the chrome and flat, but I also get a lot of "man, that would look bad *** with vivid black" comments

Ya, I have to agree with "Hecklerboy"
I think I like denim as well. For me just the right amount of chrome and black.
Very easy to clean and maintain. Denim has it's own kind of shine...

That's because people are cheap and don't wan't to pay for the paint upgrade.

they're good looking for sure. I tend to keep vehicles until they fall apart beyond repair though, so I went with something less modern/current/trendy (pick whichever has the best connotation for you).

Lol..... I have the same model and color, with a few mods, how'd you sell that "old" thing and get such a good trade?

If you spill gas when filling your tank it will stain. Did when I had my Street Bob. I tried everything and couldn't get rid of the spot. It really could only be seen in direct sunlight but boy was I pissed!

I disagree.

All you have to do to denim paint is wash it and dry it.
No waxing or buffing and no swirls to worry about either.
