hey porkstar, great photos...... thankyou , so you didnt trade up two years running 
whats your opinion on the new colors ?
the new screen does make it look more like a heritage, but i still think i like the smaller smoked screens.
i am glad they didnt change too much, no temptation now for me to change.
good to see what you look like 
Well, the jury is still out on trading up for this model. I like it very much. Can't seem to get dealers to call me back on prices to trade up, etc. Is pretty early yet though. as far as colors go, absolutely I have an opinion. Just my opinion, but you asked. The gold color scheme, or whatever they call it was a waste of effort I believe. does not strike me as anything that should be on a CVO. these bikes usually have 14 coats of hand applied paint. why would you apply 14 coats of paint to reach a level of that paint? and the brown leather I just am not in to. Doesn't seem to match the Harley theme. and of course the reptile trim doesnt apply to the brown leather. Just doesn't appeal to me. the blue model is quite beautiful if you like skulls. I'm not sure i like them well enough to look at them constantly. Love the hue of blue and the darker blue (almost black) is nice but isn't distinct enough in my opinion to tell what color it really is. But love the leather. Now the red is where I am thinking it is all heading for me. Love it. The main red is back to crimson like 2 years ago with scarlet crystal graphics. Looks like crystals deep down inside the paint that really blast out of there in direct sunlight. almost like crystals that no 2 are quite alike. I really liked the grind graphics like on the last 2 years but this has merit on its own. I definitely will be getting the red if I do connect with this bike. i like it well enough and if I wouldn't get stung too badly, (face it, we get stung anytime we trade bikes. You do get something for the money you spend and the money you lose, but it is just a fact of life.....if it wasnt so, there would be no dealers and we would have no bikes......simple). It's just about choices. there yu have it. pork.
