It seems to match the “Blaze Red” of the rocker covers very well.

Every quality pinstripe guy mixes his own colors. Most use the same brand paint " One Shot" pinstripe paint. I have a couple of friends who stripe for a living and I have never seen them not able to match any pinstripe in a couple minutes. Harley may have a name for this color and you can probably have it mixed by a PPG jobber but you will only need a couple teaspoons of color, no need to buy a pint. Just let pinstripe guy mix it for you.
If you don't know a Stripper find who does it for the large QUALITY new car dealers by hand. Or who does Old School hand lettering for race cars.

I agree with the above however one word of caution.    The stripes on our bikes is under the clear coat.    If you are thinking of having some stripes added,  they will be on top of the clear coat.    I would think it would be noticeable on close inspection and possibly fade over time.   
Are you planning to stripe something or just paint something red??

Exactly, I never cared for any paintwork that isn't cleared with the rest personally. Hopefully he didn't put a fresh battlescar on that new paint already!  :o
