2013's look sharp! - Page 3

The Voyager and Nomad colors are ok but I think they lost their minds on the Vaquero. The Vaquero is too much bike to be ALL blacked out and matte finish and those flames are down right goofy. Sure does make me appreciate my sweet looking red n black 08 Nomad. Does anyone know if there are any major changes to any of them?

Mechanical changes ? I would say no.

No mechanical changes, they are exactly the same as the 2012s. I like the flat black, but yeah screw owning a black bike in OK...it would be black with red spots.

I have a nephew that has a HD Streetglide in flat black.

Dang, if they woulda had that flat black instead of gloss when I bought my red Vaquero, I would be riding a flat black! I even considered a used streetglide for 4k more than my new Vaquero because I love the matte / flat black. I also have thought about looking into a flat black wrap, get tired of it and peel off back to red

The red with flames does look hot wheels'ish, it OK but not for me. I bet someone could come up with a better looking flame job

I really like the Nomad black/ titanium. I think its the best looking of the 2013's. Hate the flat paint. Really hate the goofy flame decals on the Vaquero.

Harley's flat paint is called "denim".

one thing about them being stuck on flames might be able to remove them and if you want flames have good ones painted on

I bet you they are stuck on with clear coat sprayed over top.

That's how the tank badge sticker is put on.

I haven't been able to figure out why they call it denim, does it have a pattern in it, stitching, 5 pockets?

They can keep it. The only bikes that look ok with flat paint are the old military bikes. Outside of that, I like some reflection.

No, they are just trying to be trendy.

I don't care for the dull finish either.

It certainly isn't nearly as good as purple.
