Yes I know, But if they are only having 3 colors, I would not do one as yellow.
As far as inncversay, I bet they do 30th anniversay model.

Looked at the line up just a few minutes ago & figured someone would have it on here. Kinda sad the Roadking appears to be gone as a standard model - also it seems the cast wheels for the Heritage have disappeared....... unless on the 18th they are gonna present us something not on the site????
Most of the new colors are fair to terrible at best - however in person they appear much better, I saw nothing great & with a little price bump to boot I noticed. I think this will be a very interesting year for all manufacturers raising prices - A lot of layoffs and budget cuts are rolling out of most companies / Corporations I know - I just cant imagine spending 30K on a new bike with a color that a baby created in its diaper.

Harley generally does new model releases in stages, and the first stage is always the unchanged bikes. Models that carry over unchanged except for paint, or maybe a minor software update or something, are always released first. I mean, think about it, there wasn't even an announcement about these, they just showed up on the website unannounced. Unchanged bikes are generally unchanged except for colors, and that's what we're seeing here, so I would not expect to see any different color for the Fat Boy.
Now, they could always do an Icon version of the Fat Boy, or a CVO Fat Boy, or a special 120th Anniversary edition of the Fat Boy, and all of those would have different colors if any of them were to exist. But given how they handled the 115th Anniversary models, I don't expect that. For the 115th, a few models like the Heritage were given special (and gorgeous) two-tone blue and black paint jobs and special tank badges. But they weren't separate models, IIRC, they were the only way you could buy that particular model (like, for the Heritage 114, the only way you could buy it was with the Anniversary paint and badges). And I wouldn't expect an Icon version of the Fat Boy since they just released the special 30th Anniversary edition of it in 2020.
But the only way to know is to tune in on the 18th. And even then, we won't know for certain if that's everything, because they typically do multiple model introductions throughout the year.

I would guess not, unless there's a special 120th Anniversary edition.
