Thanks Mike, COOL little piece of History. Now if Harley had a clue they would jump all over the retro band wagon that's happening in Motorcycling and Cars today and build a modern day version of the Hummer, a 250 V Twin with Triple disc's and at 75 minimum MPG they'd be flying out of the showrooms. Who know's Retro better than Harley ? ----- ORIGINAL MESSAGE FOLLOWS ----- yep, they were all black, except the ones that were red, or blue..... ----- ORIGINAL MESSAGE FOLLOWS ----- Hi Richard, looks like after May 6th of 49 you had a couple choices other than brilliant black ,Flight Red and Azure Blue.If you go to the how to restore tab and scroll down and you'll see paint colors chapter 60, click on that and your ... ahem, Gold.I always suggest getting all the mechanics worked out and the bike road worthy, if your there then "all" that's left is dis assembly,paint and reassembly.However I can personally attest to how much fun you can have with a good running bike even if it does need paint and in my case a few other odds and ends. Glad to hear your coming to Dixon.Keep in touch. ----- ORIGINAL MESSAGE FOLLOWS ----- Hi John, Great memory!! I am in San Jose now. Thanks for remembering me. I will be making the Dixon meet an annual event. I may need some help in restoring my 49S. Is there a way to find the original color? Or were they all black? Thanks Rich
