I have a brand new 2013 Ultra Ltd Anniversary also, and with all the time I spend traveling for business, I really can't ride both bikes enough. Any suggestiions on where I might find the right home for this rare find?
I, at one time, own #853 of 1000. I loved that bike. And that paint, I thought it looked great...appeared black until the sun hit it just right...then the red shown through. I wish I still had it. But unfortunately I had to sell it to pay of a second motgage on my house.
2012-Peanut, if you are wanting to personalize the bike I would suggest just buying new tins and store the originals so the bike can be put back to original if you decide to sell it in the future.

Last year I purchased this 1979 XLH and has the identical number Series One paint set. #843 1979 xlh with limited edition series 1 #843 of 1000 1979 xlh with limited edition series 1 #843 of 1000
1979 xlh with limited edition series 1 #843 of 1000
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.
i have number 417 of 1000 and the it looks identical the paint is a black with purple pearl over lay . Mine is a 1980 though
hi y'all
i know this thread is pretty old , but has new posts !?!?, (2 years ago) but its the subject matter thats important, probably the original thread starter has long sold his sportster, any way just thought i would put my 2 cents in the pot , lol ,
as stated Harley-Davidson made 3 separate series paint sets to celebrate the Companies buy back from AMF
Series I was the Sportster Edition
Series II was the Big Twin FXEF Super Glide Fat Bob
Series III was the Big Twin FXE Super Glide
heres a few images i've collected of theses Limited Edition Paint Sets . . .
Series I , Sportster . . .
Series II FXEF Fat Bob , front Fender looks like it was modified to fit W.G. Forks ? . . .
Series III FXE Super Glide . . .
Remember these were Limited Edition Paint Sets that were sold to people who then put them on their Machines, not actual Limited Edition Bikes

Hi Y'all ,
back again just thought i would post a few images of these Paint sets that were put on a Machine, whats cool about these sets, because they fit multiple years & models the Owner can Customise their Machines how they like ,& therefore no 2 are the same as if they were regular production Models ! OEM but still Custom , . . .cool
I used to have a 1980 Sportster that had one of these paint sets. Didn't know at the time how rare they were. It didn't matter though, the crackheads who had it before me ruined it.
Hi everyone,
hope your all doing alright, i found an Ebay seller that had the Series 1 Fenders , front & rear , i bought them & their on their way to me
on the hunt for 1 of these . . . in worst case 1 found a place in Belgium that reproduces a decal set , but of course OEM is better !
NOS Series I front Full skirted Fender . . .
NOS rear Fender . . .
