Default 3 days away from first HD

Hi everyone.

Just agreed to purchase a 2003 Dyna in Gunmetal Pearl. Beautiful bike! Hope to be riding next weekend. I have a few questions but figured I'd post here first just to check in.

I'll check the other forums but maybe I can get an answer to my most important question here. Did H/D make a Gunmetal Pearl 2003 Anniversary 1/2 helmet? I've been able to locate black, silver and white ones but no gunmetals.

Thanks in advance for any info on the helmet.

Mike

Welcome from Northern NY. Congrats on the new ride.Do a search for the helmet question. Good luck with the ride and on finding the helmet. You could always find the helmet you like and get the paint to match the bike. Just a thought.

Um, since helmets are only supposed to be kept 3-4 years at the most, I wouldn't be buying a helmet made in 2003...

and matching the bike is just too....
