I am in the process of buying what I have been told is a rare pearl white centennial 2003 screaming eagle roadking out of a local rag.I have looked and looked but cannot find any in pearl white, + it also has leather bags instead of the hard ones on the gold version. Has anyone else ever seen a model in pearl white instead of the usual gold?
Thanx Detinator, I will definately put some pics up. I had to ask the guy over the phone where to look for the Screaming Eagle tags, and he swore they were there. The dude obviously is not too savvy about bikes so I do not know what to expect from him. I am driving an hour away to go check it out tomorrow so he best not be wrong. It looks good in the pic I saw, 16" Apes and 6500 orig miles.
I don't believe that they made the SE RK in that color...I could be wrong. But maybe it is a SE RK that was painted. OR...as you say the seller is not too savvy...maybe it is a regular RK with some SE parts and the guy is calling is an SE RK. It is possible that it is not the actual CVO model. I've seen adds on eBay that incorrectly advertise non-CVO models.
You can also call HD and read them the serial number of the bike your looking at they will tell you right away what the bike is. The guy selling the bike might have SE options on the bike, or possible swapped out the bodywork.
These folks are extremely helpful so give them a call if in doubt

JJR...your bike is the gold color. The original post was referring to a "rare pearl white centennial 2003 screaming eagle roadking". My post was only commenting on the color, not the model.
I hold to my initial post...I don't believe that they built a pearl white CVO model.
I understand , but the only white RK for o3 was the Anniversary RKC with the leather saddlebags with the buckles, it also had the wire wheels.
Does the bikes enging have the 103 logos on it? What the guy probably did was updat the bike with SE items like exhaust, or even heads. With out a photo here we can not really help.
Again you you want the info call HD in Milwaukee, they are very nice and put your mind at rest what the bike is. They are the folks to speak with and not these fourms as we do not have access to there database on vin numbers.
You white bike is a Anniversary Model but not a SERK as they were GOLD.
The 2003 Scremin Eagle RoadKing only came in Centennial Gold with Black and Burgandy accents. You can check it out on the HD website under CVO history.
