    Is it true black bikes go faster? Nice lookin Street Glide. What kind of pipes are those.

    Yes, black is the fastest color! But I bought a black Harley so it would be easy to find at rallies!

    Wow, really nice Lucky. I love the sleekness of the profile. I've been lookin' at the Dark Custom. Have you seen those, and what did ya think of 'em. As much as I love riding "baggers", I'm just more comfortable on a lower profile. Have a blast and Ride Free

    I bought the same bike and because they only painted the 2008 streetglides Denim Blue it is easy to find amongst all the black shiny bikes! Not sure why Harley chose to only paint this model one year but i love it and thats all that matters to me. Hey maybe it will be worth a ton of money one day because it is rare! and i can trade it in for two black ones.

    That's how people find me.

    I just tell 'em "Look for the old fart with the beard on the black FLHX."

    Works every time.

    I was really tempted by rhe Fat Boy Low.

    It just felt good.

    The Street Glide was a better fit for highway riding, though.
