2005 883 sportster with factory custom paint
I just recently purchased a 2oo5 sportster 883 with a custom paint scheme from the factory it is #24 of 200, as it was purchased from a trade in there wasn't any paper work with it. I was just wondering if anyone knows where it was manufactured and how many different colors it was available in also if anyone has a bike like this please post a pic.
attached are a few pics

It's a "Custom" paint set from HD. You can get custom paint sets on your scoot when you purchase it new through the dealer or you can order a custom HD paint set through the parts catalog. 
Just find a 2005 parts book, and look in the paint section to see the other custom paint sets that were available.

It's called "Radical Paint Set For Sportster Models - Helix".
Located on page 715 of the 2005 Genuine Motor Accessories And Genuine Motor Parts Catalog (P&A catalog). In Grey, part #95737-05BSW available September 2004 and Red, part #95737-05BSV available October 2004. It's listed for $1,949.95. and required the separate purchase of a Bobtail Fender Installation Kit, part #69714-04 ($99.95).
Limited production of 200 hand-numbered sets, in each color. One thing that makes it more special is the Bobtail fender, which went obsolete about 5 years ago. I found the last, new-in-the-box, factory primered Bobtail fender and install kit available anywhere in the USA from a dealer a few years ago, through a network of friends and dealer searches. I'm hoarding it, awaiting a paint job and install. Maybe, this Summer.
That's a sharp looking, rather exclusive paint set ya'all lucked into. The person that sold the bike for 2 grand must have really needed the dough. That's a deal of a lifetime. Enjoy.
