Default 1998 Softail
Hello

I am living in Norway and have imported a 1998 FXSTC from USA.
When i started to repaint it in original color i got a problem,the bike is custom paint from HD in code 071 (Atomic red pearl/grey pearl.)
My lokal dealer said you can not order paint or emblems to this bike from HD,you have to buy new tanks.
Somebody help me please,i need a used 5 gallon god shape tank set in the right color , or paint and emblems.

Regards TJ
