I remember them. They also had some yellow striping to simulate the gold braid on a Confederate officer's uniform. I'm surprised that HD still sells the decals with the eagle head and crossed US and CSA flags. You'd think the PC police would have removed those from the dealerships years ago.

I heard that HD removed some workers that had CSA flags on their clothing and bikes.

Harley won't even aknowledge they built the 1977 Confederate Edition. They built a few hundred FX models, 400 plus Sportsters and only 42 FLH models with the confederate trim. It had a flying confederate flag with a gold rope on the tanks, A gold sleeve brade on the front fender
