What colour is my Sportster?
Evening all, I was wondering if anyone knew what the name was for the colour of my XL53C ? Image attached!
Also, I am re-registering the bike in the UK and I am not sure what I should put it down as? An XL883C or an XL53C - or does it not matter?!

Pearl colors add an additional $180.00
Diamond Ice Pearl

roundy, hi from the UK!
DVLA in the UK are not interested what it's 'official' colour is, but what it's general colour is, in other words, 'red' or 'orange' or some other simple description. By all means identify what it is for your own interest, but don't get too fussy with DVLA! They're simple folks.....

It was the model specification I was interested in really. I've filled in the paperwork as an XL883C but when looking at insurance etc for the year its only listed at XL53C ...
No difference between XL883C (US) or XL53C (EU) except for their original intended country/continent of sale. For 2004+, after the introduction of the rubber mounted frames, they all became the XL883C.
