Default Is this custom paint?

I got an 07 fxstc & i bought an 08 tank off eBay. The tank fits good & works fine with a few mods to the fuel gauge float that attaches the inner tank. But I'm wondering if this a complete custom paint from a shop or if its a kind of a one off from harley since it has a nicely painted Harley logo down to left side of tank.

I'm guessing its on bottom of tank where it can only be seen when tanks off?

Could be mistaken, but I think it's where you can see it easily. Seems to me I've seen it pictured in ads of for sale bikes.
Would love to see the rest of your bike.

Here's my ride. I bought it mostly stock except for exhaust. Been doing some changes here & there. New RSD apes, magnum cables, Pm fast air intake, Hd swingarm bag, custom fuel tank, drilled grips & pegs. I got some lowering collars & jockey/ suicide shift kit that I haven't installed yet cause I haven't gotten a bike lift yet. But the tank is really nice, it had never been on a bike & was brand new.

I'd look at that forward pipe slip on to see if it can be rotated.
It looks like it rotated too far counter clock wise.

Yea it is crooked. I just slid it back on after I took out my clutch cable. Still gotta install my suicide clutch. Guess I could of made it look right. I didn't think anyone would catch it. It's probably more noticeable looking through a computer than on my iPhone.

I have an HD custom paint set on my bike and it has the same Bar & Shield logo in the same spot. The numbering should be in small print on the lower right side at the very rear of the tank, just below the logo.

If its an HD paint job it will be numbered on the tank, like others have said.

Either way, it looks very nice....congrats on the scoot!
