Greetings,
Nope and good luck getting a stealer to help you. Your best bet is to have a local bodyshop color match it for you. There's several systems that can be used and most will do it free as part of the estimate.

You can order the paint you need right from Harley, I had the Harley dealer do it to match my inner fairing and custom tour pak. All you need is the year and the color of your bike.

ONLY one bummer, tho. It only goes back to '86. And my BLACK HD is a 78, what should I do?

Does cambridge collision mix their own paint? If so, they will have a method of looking up paint codes & formulas. Have her ask the painter if he can pull up a formula for your bike.
My guess is, probably not. So, you pick a color that might be it, do a sprayout to verify the match, and adjust as necessary.
My system only lists 3 blacks for Harley - Vivid Black, Black Pearl & Black Denim. Those are all distinct enough to pick the right starting point.
