Maybe this'll help.

1983 FXSB's came a several colors. Color options were :

Black, less then 1000 produced
Indigo Blue, less then 400 produced
Claret Red, less then 200 produced
Candy Red, less then 800 produced
Two tone Maroon and Claret, less then 800 produced
*Candy Root beer w/ brass accessories, 61 produced, given as sales awards.

The remainder motorcycles were either custom or no color listed on the build data.
