I have the white and am going the black route, at least with the exhaust.  I love this bike.  Found that the black saddle bag covers look pretty good on the skunk too.

I saw the blue yesterday for the first time in person at dealer out here in Denver (they are always over MSRP, didn't ask how much).  The blue looks stunning in person, I was surprised, much better than photos.  You'll have a tough choice to make after you've seen both.  Smart to wait if you can stand it.... :wall:

Over MSRP?  My dealer will discount the bike $1,000.00 for me, but this will be my 5th bike from them, plus i have sent them a lot of business.  If i got the white one, i would definately go with black exhausts.  I had the lindy bars on my previous RG, they make them in black now so i would probably do that immediately too?  I think that will change the look.  One guy had a matched tour pak that really finished the bike off nice too.  My previous was the blacked out Crimson Mist Ultra...since then I really like the blacked out look, but i would never own another black bike...too hard to keep clean and chip free!

Here is a pic of my skunk and a list of modifications.  I am waiting on the matching chopped tour pack so I can add the black hinges and black air wing with the air kit which I have already purchased.  Thus far I have been waiting 5 weeks...

Custom Seat in leather (which looks similar to the production)
Bassani Mufflers
S&S Header Pipe
Custom Muffler Tips
Antenna in fairing
Lowered foot boards
HD Communication System/CB
Black Saddle Bag Bars
Covington Wheels 21 inch front

How's that stereo sound?  Says it's a 100watt amp, is this the same amp in the fairing like the street glide?  Must admit I do like that skunk...

Thanks Highjagger.

Lowered boards are for your taller riders....  Probably drops the boards maybe an inch maybe an inch and half. I am 6 foot 5 1/2 and I need all room possible. Between the seat and boards I am much more comfortable on my RG.

Who did your seat?  What did they model it after?

Are the lowered boards from Harley ?
Could you please post a detail-pic of the mounting or a link where to get them ?

Lowered boards???? I am not sure but don't think there is such a thing from HD. Extended reach boards and controls maybe, but I don't think lowered.
This caught my eye because I custom built new brackets for the boards on my old 01 FLHT(lowered the boards 1.5 inches) and rode it 60k before buying my current FLHXSE2 .Also had to build a new brake pedal and roll the lever forward on the pivot and reweld it. Had the guys at EZ brake build me a nice one once I got the prototype like I wanted it.  On this bike I just removed the floorboard inserts, cut the rubber bubbles off slick , and then siliconed them back in place. That buys you 3/4 of an inch minimum and makes a lot of difference for a tall guy. I had to watch it on my old ride or you could drag the boards very easily and I am quite sure that is why HD doesn't offer them------------safety risk----------lawyers etc.
