Doesn't look much different. Quit dropping stuff on your bike.

Any special thing at Harley is and extra cost. Some 2003 have special paint colors I believe. I ended up with vivid black.

I'm going to powder coat the wheels, new tires, powder coat the rocker box covers, and replace some gaskets that are leaking.

This picture below is the day I bought the bike.

My bike has the paint that is super secret, magical paint that is a pain in the you know what to match. Even put a prophet on it , to read the paint , and create a formula, and all we can get is close. It is a super fine metallic silver.

You DID steal it for 80 bucks. I'd put the anniversary badges on it. If you don't want em i"ll take em for a few bucks. (for the tool box)
