So, a few days in now, what's your opinion on the best CVO Road Glide color.
I thought I'd go with the black but that gray is really growing on me.
Haven't seen either in person yet. Wondering if anybody has and what your thoughts are.
-
I like the Lava Orange a lot but I wish they would have done it in black-out.
Either of the others are really nice too. The orange trim on the black is nice but I it's only a partial black-out.
All are winners, good luck in making your decision.

Just my .02 but I wouldn't buy a vehicle based on other people's opinion as far as paint colors. You are the one paying for it and having to ride and look at it all the time, buy whatever looks best to you and makes you happy. Don't worry what others think. No matter what you choose you will always have others that like or hate your decision.

Super sharp Bike! I'm a SG fan, but that is nice. I like the color matched wheels too! I noticed you bought it at Smokey Mountain - Figures they would get one of the 1st. Couple quick questions if its not prying to much - did they do you right on trade and did you pay retail or better? Just curious.
Congrat's on the new new bike! :drummer:
I think you are replying to the wrong message and likely wanted to ask this of FLSTI Dave regarding his Battleship Grey CVO RG.

You are correct, not sure how I pulled that off!

I fully agree with you. I like to hear what others think but I buy the one that I like best. I have to live with it for the entire time I own it.
Buy the one you like best

I'm all about flash and all. The a
CVO has always had that, not so much now, and up 5 grand?

The street glide is not up 5 grand on MSRP. The road glide is up, not sure its even a full 5 grand.
Yes it has been all about flash, My 09 SERG and my 12 SERG were both very flashy, the first was the silver with the screamin eagle on the fairing and the other was the Skunk. the 15 SERGU was not very flashy. The 17 Street glide was flashy.
My gunship gray is very understated to say the least. What has shocked me is the amount of people who just love it. I have had more comments on it that I did on my 17 CVO Street Glide or my 15 CVO road glide ultra.
I like it and the look in the sun.

Best color for 2018....they should have brought back the 2000 Maroon and Red with the SE eagle on the fairing! Now that would have been the color!!!
Or done that similar concept on the gunship gray with a black SE eagle!

I was a thinking on the Gunship gray an orange eagle that matches the orange trim on the bike

That could've looked very cool. If done right that might even have distracted me from all things dark red.

A 'Sold' Orange Lava on the floor today at my dealer. Another Lava in the traveling demo ride herd also, so I got to see it in the sun. Very nice color, lots of chrome. Chrome on the contrast wheels looks good. 21" should be seen in person to appreciate. Love the size and shape of the new foot boards. Lava was my early choice...did not like the solid Gray at all initially. Handed the keys to the SG over Sept 5....
Hopefully my Gunship delivers late Nov-early Dec.

Noharley, sounds like "minds can be changed" when you see them up close. Let the excitement build. Then keep us posted.
-
Of all the new colors, the one I didn’t like at first was the Gunship Gray. Cool color, I thought, but not very CVO-ey. But the more I looked at it, well...
Guess what ended up in my driveway? Gunship Gray.
It’s probably gonna have people who love it and people who hate it...but only one opinion matters - yours. (Or mine, well, whoever buys it...you know what I mean). ;D
Look at them a few times, your opinion might change.
-
UUNetBill,
Same thing I thought. Hated the Gunship gray when I first saw the unveiling and pictures. Saw it in person and bought it.
I have had lots of positive comments on this bike. Only my 12 Skunk receive more positive comments.

Lava Orange. I'm working on blacking it out.

I looked at that Lava Orange and love it but told the dealer, this is the bike that deserved the BLACKOUT treatment. He said they needed one in chrome for the diehards.
Bet it will look TOP NOTCH.

Speaking of blacked out, this is by far the best color! Of coarse I may be a little biased. LMAO

I bought the lava orange. I personally can’t get over the black. I guess I’m a die hard like mentioned earlier in the thread. (https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20181105/185de96d6696a9c00cbbd2a31bd77f9e.jpg)

Lava Orange. Installed new saddlebag inserts & tank badge today.

I do believe that Gunship Grey is best. May be a bit biased.

I concur...best color since the '09 Electric Orange SE Shark.
...also biased but it do draw a crowd during every stop.

I am an Old School sucker for Chrome but I have to admit that looks great! The lower portion of the two tone paint ties the whole blacked out theme in nicely. I had to Google a stock one to really appreciate all of the changes you have made. Nice Job!
