re: original color,,, isnt the color ID part of the vin #? or didnt they do that "back in the day,,,,"
That's what I was thinking also; but looking in my Service Manual of my Fxr4, the VIN is broken down as to identify the numbers in the vin and I just don't see where the color of the bike is noted in the VIN...
1 HD11 - These letters and numbers are not identified
EV - Model Designation...In this case the Fxr4
L - Engine Type...L = Carburated
1 - This number can be 1-5..1 = Regular Introduction Date, 2 = Mid-Year Intro Date, 3=Calif Only, 4= Spec Edition, 5 = Spec Edition Ca. Only
Y - Model Year...Y = year 2000
Y - Assembly Plant...Y = York, Pa.
95001 - Sequential Number...
?
One thing I do know and I ain't confused about; that ain't stock from the factory
