Perry & Dave, Thanks for responding. Here is a link to a detailed series of pictures of Todd's '54FL with the black/ivory "Spring Color Special" paint job mentioned in Perry's literature: http://www.flickr.com/photos/34150794%40N04/sets/72157625972544959/ I've also attached a picture of the only other original paint bike that I've seen with this paint scheme. Bob ----- ORIGINAL MESSAGE FOLLOWS ----- Hi Bob - I simply saved that scan from an eBay auction. Looks like about two years ago based on the date of the file on my harddrive. I have no history of that letter or other information on 54 colours. If you have any other questions feel free to contact me ... Perry ----- ORIGINAL MESSAGE FOLLOWS ----- Perry Ruiter #441 posted a HD letter to dealers in your "How To Restore" section, chapter 22. That HD letter mentions "Spring Color Specials" for 1954 models. I would like to contact Perry to learn more about the letter and anything else he may know about these models. I have a '54FL which falls in the period after that letter, and I know a gent in California with an original paint '54FL which has the black/ivory spring color scheme mentioned in Mr. Ruiter's literature. Would somebody please kindly ask Perry to contact me via email at robertfarr68@hotmail.com, or by phone at (248) 703- 0662. Thank you, Bob Farr West Bloomfield, MI
