Default Colors: How Many?

I know that they are always changing colors on bikes, but does anybody know How many bikes they make of each color, example I have a 09 ultra, Smokey Gold/Red Hot Sunglo. So does anybody know how many of my color are out there?

I'm sure they make a certain number, but I'm also sure you can probably order a color combo if they are sold out.

You can bet htat the MOCO knows exactly how many of each are out there. But I'm also sure these numbers aren't published to the masses.

Seems that when people are selling bikes every color is rare.

Thanks, I was sure it was 17,469. I must have missed one somewhere.

I am with one of the other posters, I imagine they have a build schedule, they KNOW how many of a certain color they are going to build before they start. If one seems to sell hotter than they expected,,, then maybe they will extend the build. Otherwise there is a set number in the plan..... What it is who knows....
