According to 'The Legend' book, I could have ordered a '57 with any standard color. Did they mean for that year's offerings only?
Is that drawing correct calling the panel the top of the tank?
I have seen at least one other tank with white on top and black on bottom and black fenders. I have seen Red on top and black bottom w/ black fenders. I have seen red bottom/black top tank and red fenders.
I want to paint my tank with Black on top and a white below? That seems more 58-ish but I like it. I'm not sure I want to sit on the bike and have a white tank in front of me. I don't know why. I know I don't want white fenders.
It would seem you could have any of these colors in any configuration but did it happen? I would like to stay within factory parameters but I don't want to hear how it's 'wrong' all the time. What about the Gold and White one in the Harley Museum?
