Default RKC - Rootbeer pinstripes?

I have an 11 RKC in the Lt/dk rootbeer color and after several months just noticed that the pinstriping on the tank and front fender is different from the rear fender. The Tank and front have two - a red and a gold color but the rear only has the red. I was wondering if this is normal or did HD make a mistake as it sure seams they should be consistent. If you have a like bike would sure like to how yours is.

Quality control at it's finest. Remind me again why we spend $20k + on these bikes. Oh yeah, cause they make us look cool. Totally worth it.
