Default Need Help Guys

I have a mystery on my hands my buddy is looking at a 2007 night train and I went with him to look. The bike is silver the Owner said the color is called venom silver. The only silver I've heard on a 96ci night train is pewter denim... and I thought it was only offered from 2007 up. The color just didn't look right to me I think its been painted but he said no. Could any one help the vin is 1HD1JA5117Y077205. Please help he wants to go to the bank tomorrow if everything checks out. Thanks

I think there's a way to tell the colors available for that particular year but I'll be damned if I know how to tell....sorry. Let us know if you find out..Might want to tell your friend to slow down a little, it's a buyers market not a sellers so take the time you need to make sure your not getting taken....just sayin

Yeah your right about it being a buyers market but the bike is a killer deal and people are crawling all over it.

According to totalmotorcycle website (a pretty solid source of info) the following six colors were available on the '07 NightTrain: Vivid Black, Black Cherry Pearl, Black Pearl, Black Denim, Pacific Blue Denim (new), Pewter Denim (new) ....

Maybe he mistook "Denim" for "Venom" ... ?

* * *

17 digit VIN does not divulge the color ...

VIN Fields are:
Market Destination (1 domestic, 5 international)
Manufacturer (HD)
Motorcycle type (1=heavyweight motorcycle)
Model (two digit code)
Engine type (V=carb, W=EFI)
Introduction date (1=Regular, 2=Mid-year, 3=Cali)
VIN check digit (0-9 or X)
Model year (one character)
Assembly plant (one letter)
and
Sequential number (last 6 digits)

With the VIN number a dealer should be able to find the color the bike came with.

Also if it was Pewter Denim, maybe the guy waxed it or the 4 years of use made it glossy ... who knows.
