VIN based history search

[custmmc]

Would like to know original color and other details of H-D restoration project.

This service was described as part of my encouragement to join AMCA, but unable to find how to engage the search.

Please point me in the right direction.

What era bike are you looking for info on? There is no way to tell from older VINs what colors or equipment were on a factory build without original dealer sales order.

As far as the color, you might try looking under the tail light, or between the gas tanks. Often original paint still exists in these areas.

I was told to enter the VIN and receive details about the original build...color, dealership where sent, date of original sale...etc.

First, welcome here. Second, don’t know who gave you that info but that is not a service offered by this club.

Or any club as that info basically doesn't exist, H-D doesn't even have it. As far as what was available as to colors and trim each year that info is something I can supply as well as others, but it in no way is connected to a specific VIN.
You didn't answer my question as to era, some Shovelhead and newer info is available from H-D.

Here is a shameless plug for joining your local chapter;

On the bright side custmmc, once you know what was available for your specific year, you get to pick the color(s) you like and nobody can tell you it's wrong!
