I do not like the blacked out look, I remember rattle can black out on old Troubleheads AKA Shovelhead models back in the day, mostly to cover up oil leaks

It turned me off as looking cheap JMO

I'm old and still like chrome. Lol. My wife likes the blacked out look. I will always think chrome looks best.

It's one of those color schemes I like on somebody else's bike. There was a guy locally who's Panhead was painted yellow and black checkerboard like a Checker Cab. Looked cool, nice paint job, but I wouldn't want it.

I love the blacked out look. Chrome is pretty. BUT you know what they sat.

CHROME DONT GET YOU HOME

Interesting that the RG3 is offered in twice as many colors as the Freewheeler. The blackout look dosnt bother me but chrome never goes out of style. Speaking of style- I remember using rattle can black as a 16 year old to paint my hand me down XLCH. I wrenched on that bike as much as I rode it. I pushed it into the school parking lot more times than rode it in seems. Saturdays were spent from before sunup to late afternoon getting it ready for my big date with Suzy Rottencrotch. Even to the point of extracting the carbon rod from a C battery and making brushes for the generator. Many may not know it but it was considered ok to ride a motorcycle to the Drive In movies. Usually grouped together in the back - it didnt matter what you rode. All kinds of debauchery could and usually did happen. Ah..memories.

I wonder where the picture of the Free in chrome came from when now it only shows available in black? Maybe the chrome version will be offered at a later date?

Been super busy, so have not read all the threads on the RG 3, but have skimmed some of them. One thing I have not seen mentioned is the horrible ride quality of those low profile (short sidewall) tires. Look the same, or close, as the tires on the CVO TG's. We have done some riding on those, and they are bad.

I like the Sharknose, I think they did a good thing on offering that as an option, and they will do even better offering that at some point on the Tri Glide...but those tires are no good for hour after hour of riding.
