I always regretted letting my 94 softail custom go and just recently acquired a nice replacement though if anybody can help me with a colour query it would be appreciated.
From what I can gather the bike was sold with a factory custom paint set, Sea foam metallic/ Birch white, from my own memory these were like colour tins sets sold and generally installed by dealers.
I have been able to gain some information from an older thread ( https://www.hdforums.com/forum/gener...t-program.html )
As the tins are unlikely to appear in a Motorcycle sales brochure does anybody have any further info? How I can locate some form of sales literature etc? Trying you guys stateside as we have historically limited in on the once a decade has passed.
If someone has the 1999 Genuine Motor Accessories & Genuine Motor Parts catalog they might have info on paint sets in there. The catalog number should be 99557-99V

Thanks i will follow up for sure - yours is a HDI model too? I imagine there went to many in this colour.
No, I have a US model. As far as I know, there were never HDI models of this color. I only know 3 vehicles in Germany including mine in that color. Pretty rare color combination here. I'll study the old catalogs from 1999 at my Harley dealer, maybe I can find some more information.

If you check the VIN it is easy to spot an HDI, anything not declared for the “home” market was stamped thus.
I am aware our bikes never left he factory in thieve colours, mine left in black for example- theses were tin sets sold by harley to dealers as par of a custom pain option.
Speaking to a sales guy I know who was around in those days dealers had to buy them in immediacy once they were offered - the weren’t offered mor than once, which explains why not so many about. What I cannot find is how many were produced.
I have found two like yours online, one sold by Glasgow HD a few years back and is on YouTube, a couple of fat boys online and a Wide glide on this forum.
Cheers

From which part of the chassis number can I tell the difference between US or HDI? I only know 1HD and 5HD as a difference. And until the early 2000s there was only 1HD.
