08 Crystal Copper SERK Need Paint Help TRIED SEARCH
« on: January 24, 2009, 01:19:14 PM »
I tried searching for answers but fell a little short. I have 08 SERK Crystal Copper Black and was given a set of brand new vivid black hardbags off an ultra trike project.

Can't find a picture of 105th 08 SERK with this matching paint job on bags.

Can't find definitive answer as to where to get Crystal Copper paint.

Is the Onx sp? black special and need to be ordered as well?

How about the gold leaf stripes? How is it done and can it be duplicated?

How does the painter match the curves of the paint job to replicate the 08 CVO 105th Ultra?

Can anyone recommend a painter I can ship bags to that has done this already and done it right that can match the curves of the gold leaf stripe and copper / black seperation , match the colors correctly etc?

Thanks for help. Like I said my searches were not really giving me the whole story.

Ride safe!

Generally there are many talented people out there, which can paint the bags matching to your bike. The
colors can be matched electronically using a little device most advanced painters have. I had hard bags
painted for my '07 SERK (I think even more complicated than the '08) with very good results.

Ride safely,

Thanks or the info......

I mounted the bags last night and they really look nice solid black with dark red and tan pinstripes. Im trying to visualize just getting a gold leaf strip that covers the pinstripe as it flows with the lines of the side cover gold leaf. Hard to describe but maybe one of you photoshop savvy can give your own ideas.

Here's an altered pic with the 105th annie SEUC hard bags on the SERK. Planning on adding the hard bags myself.  Can't remember where I found this on this site, but it was done by a member.

After 6 months to find a nice set of FL Bags, a local painter who could match the crystal copper and onyx black (there is a tiny dusting of silver flake in it I think.....,and something a little artistic and personal, I have my color matched hard bags mounted and they are stunning if I may say so myself!

I have not seen a Crystal Copper Ultra in person so mine is the only hard bags with this combo I have seen in living color.

Had the recall deal done at about 3000 miles, no known issues prior

Also Added:

Passing Lamp kit and front turn signal relocation kit ..........that is what a Road King in SUPPOSED TO LOOK LIKE ......JUST IN CASE I WANT MY OWN OPINION.
Corbin Solo with backrest an old style chrome grab rail..........looks cool and first bike to ever ride with a backrest so I knew I had to have one on the replacement.
HD quicky off passenger seat replacement luggage rack deal.....looks kinda cool but maybe too much bling to leave on unless needed for the road
Monster Ovals, SE Race Tuner, SE Air Filter, dyno tune

Next up, standard size screen with complete hardware so factory short smoky still available cuz the chicks dig it.

It just keeps getting better and better...thats what she said


Pics coming to a lap dance near you soon

I'm getting ready to have  saddlebags added to mine too! Would love to see pics of your bike! I had Top/end work done on mine, now get 104hp 124ftlbs torque and is a real hot rod now. Love this bike! You might want to look at the Bub 7's Brouhard Edition exhaust. They compliment the style of this wonderful machine. I will also put on the re-curve Clearview Windshield as soon as I can barrow the money from my wife!

Thanks for the photo Mlpklr, no offence to other owners of SERKS but the matching hard bags just brings the bike to a whole new level. That bike looks awesome and the way they should look. It's a darn shame they don't see fit to offer the bags through the dealerships and with fair pricing. I don't know how much it will eventually cost but they will be found on my SERK one day. I've seen many photos from you guys with the HOT RED bikes and quite a few others. Come to think of it I haven't seen a SERK done with hard bags that didn't look distinctive and classy. It's on my dreamers list.
Do we have any estimates on how to get there? I would like mine to look a little different but the bags in the photo has lines that just flow perfectly. I'm not sure it could be improved.

Yeah I'm jealous as hell.
