I have a 2011 XL1200C, to which I bought new, and was a mid-year offering for the US. It was the first Sportster offered where you can customize and order online.

I can vouch this is for the US catalog, as I have them from 2011 - 2020. Other countries may have had some limited editions, to which I know the XL1200CA was available for the Aussies. Perhaps the CA and CB were AU and EU editions, but dunno. You guys over the pond can probably confirm.

Not sure if the HD-1 was available in other countries, but if not, then the limited editions would have been the popular HD-1 orders in the US is my guess.

Yup those are '13 Sportster colors. The black was a special order through the Harley HD-1 Factory Customization. The paint was called Vintage Black, which is basically the Denim Black available in the Dynas and Touring bikes. I remember the customization allowed for chrome or black motor, wire wheels, mini-apes, and some special colors.

Add a Signature Line in your USER set up for your bike year, model, and all the letters that Harley recognizes it with so others see at the bottom of all your post. This enables others to know your exact model if you ever ask a question.
