Title: Which 15 RGU color combo did you get?
Post by: Lu on December 20, 2014, 01:12:36 AM
Just curious as I’m leaning towards the Burgundy Maroon.

For me the blue and red one's look to much like previous years colors.

The crushed saphire and the burgandy blaze are 2 of the exact base colors offered on the 2013 CVO Road Kings. The graphics colors are different.

The colors are also the same/very similar to the 11, RGU

Carbon Dust / Autumn Sunset is really growing on me, I just wished the inner fairing was the Autumn Sunset.  Just tired of always owning "black" bikes

+1 ... that combination would be sitting in my garage right now if the colors were reversed.

I agree the burgandy is too close or similar to the 11 CVO RGU.

The Blue is not at all.  As the other two CVO RGU's in 11 were the slate gray and the beigh and tan.

I honestly don't like a lot of the colours they bring CVOs out in and think they would sell more of them if they were a little less on the 'Liberace' side of the colour wheel. No offence meant to piano players. JMHO.

Also, I couldn't care less if they had a particular scheme previously or on something else, I really liked the 2011 slate/grey and would have bought it again in an instant. Red/Maroon wasn't for me when I bought the 11' and is not for me now and the bone/brown did not grab me at all, even though once upon a time I rode a 78' UC in beige /cream. Maybe I was less picky then?

I chose the blue over the carbon/sunset for the same reason mentioned above, the inner fairing was very dark and I am looking to ride a bit cooler in our delightful southern heat. Initially, I thought the blue was 'ok' but it grew on me. When I think about it, the lighter blue (I have no idea which is called which), is a very similar shade to the blue I painted my first HD (an old sporty) because I didn't like the purple it had been painted. Looks like I'm back where I started colour-wise anyway.

Bottom line is I guess you can paint them in whatever colour you like if you want to.

Enjoy your new rides folks.

Cheers Tom

Swapped in my 2011 Frosted Ivory/Vintage Gold for the Carbon Dust/Autumn Sunset. The graphics appeared to be a bit more dramatic and I'm thinking the Carbon Dust isn't "black" ........but rather has a metallic quality with some depth. My new bike is scheduled for manufacture in about a month .........I'm looking forward to getting delivery end of February :)

I went with the abyss blue. When I first saw photos of the 3 colors I wanted the autumn sunset. Then I saw it in person, just wasn't for me. Just too dark. Red floated to the top of the list, then the blue. After seeing both in person I went blue.

They are all pretty nice colors even if similar to prior years.  Still a bit partial to Burgandy Blaze.  My Black Limited is great when clean but getting tired of cleaning it every week.  Cant ride to downtown Nashville without being covered with dust.   Maybe Burgundy will begin to catch up in the color poll as I've seen several on Chopper Exchange recently and three dealers within two hours of me have recently gotten Burgundy models in stock.

Traded my ivory 2011 FLTRUSE for a Carbon Dust and Autumn Harvest and we (wife) liked that color the best between the three colors, but the  ivory bike color ruined me on cleaning it did show dirt like the back bike.

The blue looks dark in the showroom, but comes alive when the sun shines on it. But I think this true for most CVO's. My '11 red was a great color in sunlight too. Should have my '15 in blue by March 1st.

I got the Carbon Dust /Autumn Sunset. Like the looks but it has the worst top coat I have ever seen. I think its made with butter. It scrat he's if you look at it too hard. The sunset color doesn't show but the Carbon Dust already looks like crap just 2 months old. It had some flaws deep in the paint when I got it. The dealer worked most of it out which looked OK till the first washing. Now I see the buff marks where they worked on it. Anyway I will be looking for a custom painter soon.

I went with the Carbon Dust /Autumn Sunset.  I thought the blue was just too much blue and the red reminded me of previous color combos.

We had the identical scenario trading in our 2011 Frosted Ivory bike for the Carbon Dust/Autumn Sunset color ;D. Washing-wise, I was also spoiled in that the dust/dirt didn't show very quickly on the lighter colored bike ......hahaha! The dark rear end of the Carbon Dust bike needs "dusting" after every ride .....LOL. This color combination turned out to be somewhat "low key" as it takes direct sunlight to make the Autumn Sunset light up ;)! Conservative is OK.

The blue does look dark in the showroom, so my wife told the salesman to move it outside for us.  I came back from the bathroom and there it was in the sunlight!  That pretty much made up our minds for us!  She's a smart woman (although I'd have had them do that for us...she just beat me to it!!)
After seeing the other two beautiful color schemes, I would have been in a real quandary if my dealer had had two (or Heaven forbid, all three!) colors to choose from.  Can you see yourself having the dealer move all three bikes outside so you could try to make up your mind?   :nixweiss:
Still, we love the blue, and I find myself looking down at the inner fairing on sunny days and just smiling like a fool!   :P

No debate about it. You got the best color. Then again, I may be a little biased ::)
