Sometimes a few modifications are all you need to catch my eye. This newly upgraded 2016 Road Glide Special was sitting out on our sales floor at my work, Pomona Valley Harley-Davidson, and I just had to stop and take a better look. The simple adjustments made turned this baby into a 2 wheeled beauty.

The already modified look of the Road Glides with the Sharknose fairing, the CVO model style low-profile rear suspension, and reduced-width primary housing and derby cover brought these bikes a sleek look to begin with. Brian Breeland, who works his magic in our Service Department, knew he could make it even better.

The bike ended up with an all over Black and Tan look, which was the reason it pulled my eye to begin with. The stock paint is called “Black Quartz”, a black finish with an all-over small golden flake that adds depth, and catches your eye in the light, with standard pin-striping adding an antique cream color to accent the flake.

To continue with the color scheme, Breeland had the 19” front and 16” rear Enforcer Cast Aluminum wheels powder coated a vivid black, and Renzy Perret added a simple pinstripe to them to match the current pinstriping that runs throughout the bike.
