TLDR
Can't find this Harley Neon Green anywhere and want more info on the color
It is FOR SURE a XL1200C
It was a factory color
no Harley doesn't have the color and we don't have the vin
Have you ever seen a neon green 1997 Sportster xl1200c? The only ones I've ever seen are my dad's first harley (first bike I ever got to ride) and in the catalog he found it in. Harley doesn't have the color on file and we no longer have a vin. He bought it in 1997 off the show room floor in Woodstock Harley in Kingston NY. Id love to find the color code or someone that has one that I can get some more reference pictures from so I can get my street bob painted the same way. The pictures attached are me next to the bike and the bike in the catalog.
Thank you for any help in advance.
There are a bunch of old factory one off tin sets, mine included. Harley verified mine was a chrome yellow base coat but that's all they could tell me, some dealers are more helpful than others
Here is the color scheme of the factory tanks for the '97 Custom way back when.
EDIT: Here's a link to the Harley colors over the years. But then it could've been a one-off special color. The '11 Sportsters had the Sedona Orange in only the Forty-Eight and the Custom. The Custom had Sedona Orange and Vivid Black. My Custom was a special Sedona Orange w/o the Vivid Black and the Sedona Orange was a 2011 only color on the Sportsters.
