    G'day,

    Im looking for an 08 night train at the moment and im keen on denim black. was told by a dealer today that denim black wasn't to flash, as in wears quick. Im not sure if its true or he just was trying to persuade me to buy the vivid black one they have. would like to get opinions from all the denim black owners.

    cheers, whitey.

    i got black denim, it looks great and i get heaps of comments on it all the time. had no drama's with fade etc but mines an 08.
    only problem i have had with it is that it scratches easy.
    if i had my time over again i would choose the same cause it looks sweet

    If you get the black denim, and it fades, how much would it cost to paint a tank and two guards?

    So far ,so good. with the fade. I must say it is heaps easier to clean than my old bike in gloss black. Quick rinse with a hose and wash brush, blow the excess water of with a compressor and a quick wipe with a chamy. bit of mr sheen and the jobs done . you still have to spend time on your chrome but with a night train there aint to much of that.

    Only thing with the denim black is you cant polish out any marks you get on it, they do look good though

    Got a 07 train in the black denim follow simple cleaning directions and its no problem . I love the colour and would buy again and as someone else stated its acutally very easy to clean because it aint glossy so a simple wipe over with the windex or if its really dirty you use a bit of dishwashing liquid to give a good clean and this is recomended by HD themselves.
