HD Numbered Paint Sets
 
So, just a question I would throw out there. Who that has one of the Harley custom paint sets (the limited numbered ones), has seen another bike like theres with the same set?

The reason I am asking is because about 3 or 4 weeks ago I went out for an all day ride with some buddies. It was the first time really getting out and riding my bike since I swapped the tins over to one of those special military edition Fatboy paint sets from 2005. I was so excited about it because I felt that I would be totally unique and never see another bike like mine since they only made 200.....WRONG!!!! During our ride, we stopped at Battlefield HD in Gettysburg PA and I went to park and look to my right and 2 spaces over is a softail (and not an original Fatboy, so it had the silver motor like mine) with the exact same paint set as I got. What are the chances?

Just wanted to know how many people out there have actually seen another bike with the same paint set.

I have a numbered factory custom paint set on a 98 wideglide. I have never seen another wideglide with this color scheme. I have seen different models of the same year with this same paint scheme.

My '05 Deluxe has a custom paint set and just today...I saw a bike here on the forum with the same set in a guys photo album that was featured on the lead page when I logged in. 1st one I've seen...go figure! Doesn't bother me...only a couple hundred of them exist...pretty slim chances I'll actually run into one and if I do, I'll just assume the person has the same exquisite taste as I do! ;)

I must be getting old, but the special chit paints,,, is not special to me any more...

Some to me look OK,,, just not enough to drop a dime on them....for the long run...

IMHO just give me the good ole vivid...

I got the reaper paint set #21 of 200 and I haven't seen another yet. Someone on here told me that they saw a Softail with it and someone else saw one in cali on another bike.

I agree!! I love my bike and the paint, but if I knew what I know now I would have got a better custom paint job for 1/2 the price and I definitely would have never seen another like it. I bought the bike with tins already on there and paid full price for it, it was one of those first bike things. I saw, loved it sat on it and took it home.
