Ok, please post only useful information in this thread about restoring process and tips for 1977-79 FXS lowrider specifically but other years are welcomed as well.
I will fire off with the OEM paint colors for the bike years 1977-1979
FXS Lowrider 1977-78 paint code / color:
Finally solved once and for good!!! Your color is (was) "Charcoal Gray". Paint Code 98603-DZ. This information was sent to me from Motonit . I have one used and one unused can of this paint and will try to have it scanned and provide current formula code when available.

And i thought you posted a gray paint can just maybe you had no idea what the bike would look like in the gray - but your so full of your self you did not see the gesture
i know the late '78 aka 78 1/2 also came in black because that's what i had . the original photo is a bit dark if my memory is correct the actual bike was lighter than this . also if memory doesn't fail me this is the same colour as the '77 . not sure about '79 except i think there was one with the same grey with a black panel on the tank .
and biczeq do yourself a favour and don't **** off johnjzjz , he knows more about the bike you're asking about than the guys who assembled it at the factory .
post pics of what you've got and ask specific questions and you'll get better responses .
This is not a discussion thread and not about Superglides. I wanted it to be mainly a technical thread that I lead and if anyone wants to contribute do so but with Respect and strictly on the topic.
