In 82, they made 1493 black/brown models with
gold rims. Also in 82, factory made 1077 black with orange
accents. Not saying it's not possible , but ... Have
Seen the brown seats on an FXS model.
it was supposedly original paint, I call it red, but it was probably burgandy, at the time I would have called it maroon. it did have gold pinstriping. for the life of me I cant remember what the logo looked like.

it had the primary belt that was notorious for breaking, & instead of converting to chain, after 2 belt breakages, he was selling, in those days was trying to get $6,500 where normal bikes were bringing closer to $8,000

at the time alot of guys including me thought it was ugly, but no one wanted to re-paint it to a better color, nor to swap seats. the black & orange is a great looking combo.
