Is this Harley Paint?
I bought this bike used. I have some people telling me its custom paint and I have some telling me this is a Harley paint scheme. This is a police bike and I am trying to convert my police bags to regular Harley bags. I have called a couple of painters and they need paint codes, they say the matching the paint is almost impossible. Any help would be appreciated.

It looks like the California Kid Paint Set
Depends on the year model will depend on the color combination.
If you click on the thumb nail photo and click while loading it will give you a large photo.

If it is an HD paint set and it was installed prior to bike delivery for the original owner it may show up as a warrantable item on the bike under the 2 year factory warranty. In that case, if you gave me the VIN I could run it and tell you.

Hey guys, the cops around here don't run flames on thier bikes. Did Harley ever offer a flame paint job on a police bike??? The sadle bags are police bags I don't know about the rest of the bike. If it was a police bike it was a vivid black bike that someone added the blue flames to. One color Harley does not change from year to year is their vivid black. You should be able to find vivid black civillian saddle bags on E-Bay no problem, I would think a compatent painter would be able to match the blue flames.

HD did run a paint set that looked like that one a few years ago. I only saw it in red, but I'm pretty sure there was a blue-flame version, too. It's not the Cali Kid sets; those have flames all over, not along the bottom only.
As noted, it wouldn't have been offered with the Police bags. So either someone had a cop bike painted the same as the set, or they got a five-piece (FLHRC/S) set and had the bags painted to match.
As mentioned, check the right hand side of the tank near the saddle. An authentic Harley set will have a bar & shield and numbering.
Nice looking bike, btw! It's a sharp looking paint job regardless!
