Im wondering if there is a contact or dept that Harley has , that can provide factory documentation on individual bikes by VIN ? I have had a number of older muscle cars and still have a 71 Camaro . I have collected as much factory documents on my past and present cars as I could . Ford ((US and Canada ) and GM ( Canada only ) have services dedicated to providing original build specs and production numbers and features on each and every car built and its available to vehicle owners ( for a fee of course ) . I am a hoarder and have a file on my '18 Fatboy that has every piece of relevant paperwork and parts receipts etc . I was just wondering if an factory paperwork would be available to support my habit lol
Call the Harley Museum, for real, and tell whoever answers that you want to check your VIN # against their records. They will do it for you on the phone, and if you ask send you a letter.
I got the build date, motor build date, ship date, selling dealership and more for my 1970 FLH from them. I was surprised how much info they had BUT they did not have what color she left the factory wearing. That was all I really wanted to know, but what they gave me was great. Good luck.
