1981 XLH "limited Edition Series One"??
I recently purchased a 1981 XLH series one. On the tanks it says number 651 of 1000. I read that in 1981 Harley bought the company back from AMF. In celebration they created a “series one XLH” and numbered only 1000 of them. I am wondering if all 1000 of these bikes were painted the same color and if mine has the original paint. Any other clarification and significance of this “series one” would be greatly appreciated.

the bikes quite rare i think.
Please dont "bob it" chop it or any other such rubbish.
my only concern is it looks as though that decal is in too good condition for year.
Has it been re-sprayed or kept in a museum.
you are a lucky man

Update
I called HD a couple of days ago and asked them about the bike. They requested pictures which I sent them yesterday. They called me back this morning and said that the “Series One LD” consisted of a paint set. All 1000 bikes had the same paint set. They said mine looks original and they are pretty rare these days. So now Im wondering do I get new skins and continue to drive the bike? Do I just store it for another twenty years? Do I try and sell it and get something else to ride? If I re-skin the bike and drive it I take the risk of the motor going south or something else. So what would yall do?
