100th ann stripes
I recently purchased a silver/black flhtc. It was in an accident and the tour pack and the fairing have some damage. I can have the parts painted, but can't find the stripes. I have been told the only way to fix these items are to purchase new from dealer. Does anyone know where to find the stripes? Any suggestions would help. I am looking to fix the bike to ride, not to sell and turn a profit.
I've see paint jobs with it...
Yeah, the factory sure loves that crapy tape... personally I had it along with 500,000+ of my closest friends. It's not so special. My tank was replaced because the tape was peeling up and on my fairing I had a hole in the tape from small rocks or large bugs.
It's belongs to someone else now.

even one of the Trike manufacturers Lehman IIRC has to make their own look alike stripes
Anything with a stripe on it is a "Controlled Item" as are the tank badges and the factory installed decals. When I was cloning my 03 FLHTPI into a FLHTCI, I was able to get many of the parts from a certain friendly dealer mentioned frequently on this site. I got my tank off EBAY for 600 bucks. If I were to need any replacement parts I would now have to submit a police report ( I kid you not) that the parts were stolen, or I'd have to bring the damaged parts to my local stealership to trade them in on new ones.
The last part I needed to clone my bike was the console insert that has the 03 logo. I couldn't get it from any dealership special order. Even the one that sold me my tour pack and bat wing told me HD wanted VIN numbers and a police report to order one.
Lucky for me the parts guy liked me, and did a parts locate in the database and found one on the shelf in a adjacent state. I called them, they had no problems selling it to me, and 42 bucks and 2 days later it was on the bike.
I had to remove a dent from my front fender, and the P models have a nice 03 decal rather than the striping on the fender. I wanted the 2 dollar decal but the only way to get it was to buy a new fender.... I ended up masking the decal, repairing the dent, laying down the base coat, then pulling the tape and clearing over the decal. Some 2000 wet/dry and a good buffing hid the fact it was repainted.
