Who's got the scoop on reading the vin to find out original paint color of a bike?
Best I can do for you is to say on a 2001 model there is a tag on the bottom of the gas tank with the paint code.
go to https://serviceinfo.harley-davidson.com/sip/vehicle/lookupForm
enter your VIN then check the Painted Parts
Couldn't find much on the portal. I should mention my bike is an 87 FXLR.
