Is red a good look?
Since TikTok is about ready to shut down in the USA, then I suppose I’ll bring some of my videos from there to here. Anyways, this video is my 2021 Harley Davidson Street Glide in Billiard Red. This bike is so fun to ride, I can’t get enough of it. Before I bought it, I assumed these big baggers would be too heavy and unwieldy, but I was pleasantly surprised. Well, they are heavy, but this bike handles so well that it doesn’t matter. I can take it in the mountains or anywhere, and it’ll handle just fine.
Picking the right color for your Harley is almost as important as picking the bike itself, wouldn't you agree? When I was looking at my 2021 Street Glide, the Billiard Red really caught my eye. And honestly, I think it's one of Harley's most iconic and timeless finishes! It's not just a flat red; there’s a depth to it, a metallic shimmer that really pops in the sunlight. I've had so many people come up to me at rallies and gas stations, complimenting the color. It really makes the bike stand out without being overly flashy. For anyone considering a Harley, especially a Road Glide or Street Glide, you know how crucial the aesthetics are. A paint job isn't just color; it's part of the bike's personality. Billiard Red, to me, perfectly encapsulates that classic Harley spirit with a modern edge. It’s vibrant, powerful, and has a certain magnetism. I remember seeing a few different red options, but this one just had that 'wow' factor. It looks fantastic whether you're cruising down the highway or parked up at a local spot. Beyond just Billiard Red, Harley-Davidson offers such a fantastic range of factory paint jobs every year. From deep, rich blacks and blues to vibrant two-tone schemes, there’s truly something for everyone. If you’re like me and love a distinctive look, you might also consider what aftermarket options are out there. Custom paint jobs can transform your bike entirely, but there’s a lot to be said for the quality and consistency of a factory finish like Billiard Red. They hold their value well and are designed to last. Maintaining that beautiful finish is key, too. After every long ride, especially if I've been through some dirt or rain, I make sure to give my Street Glide a good wash. Using a quality motorcycle-specific soap and a soft microfiber cloth helps prevent scratches. And don't forget waxing! A good coat of wax not only protects the paint from the elements but also enhances that gorgeous shine of the Billiard Red. It’s a bit of effort, but seeing that deep red gleam under the sun is totally worth it. For those asking about 'road glide paint jobs,' many of the colors offered on Street Glides are also available on Road Glides, or at least very similar shades. So if you love the Billiard Red on my Street Glide, chances are you can find an equally stunning red for your Road Glide. Ultimately, the best paint job is the one that speaks to you, reflects your style, and makes you excited to swing a leg over and hit the open road. But if you ask me, you can't go wrong with classic Billiard Red!
