Nice. Really nice!

I'll take two GWT DCTs— one in Pearl White and one in Schroader Yellow.

Is that a thing with them, non-factory colors? Do they paint it or get it special from Honda?

I've not seen this before, but then again, I'm not in the GW world.

In the past I've seen them switch colored panels so a black and yellow to do a bumble bee type scheme... but they must be either wrapping or painting them.

If I could find riders with a white and a blue, we could swap some panels and come out with 3 patriotic colored bikes. :)

I called Schroader's just now and talked to the Sales Manager— Terry. He said it's paint and was done for a customer. Apparently you can tell him what additional customizing you want done and that's how your bike is delivered.

He's getting another one done with a different painter. He said the goal is to keep the price under $3500 which is what the 'Wing cost to get yellow. I'm afraid to think what that might cost in the CA Bay Area.

And he does discounting from MSRP. That's something we're not all that familiar with on the left coast. He is also familiar with the Fly 'n' Ride concept. That would make a nice road trip.

Oh yeah, they are one of the first places you want to call if you want a wing... good competitive prices and lots of volume.

It is really tempting. He said they also to a lot of customizing including lowering the bike and accessorizing. He mentioned Corbin seats but that's probably better down out this way with a ride to Corbin's. Anyway it's all mostly out of curiosity at this point.
